Some people(like Me and UYS) have the extra special tool bar turned off. You have to go into CP to turn it back on.

I did most of my setup when I first got on, about a year ago, so don't remember much that I set then. I do seem to recall setting the order of threads or posts within a thread so one sees the newest first. Played with settings a couple of times along the way, usually going back to what I had before.

 

[butters]

So tomorrow is the start of another week, and Tristesse's challenge is now done, i believe ... anyone up for the next?

I have something up my sleeve if not, but there may be those waiting still to throw down their challenge so please wave your hands here

 

[butters]

if no one else suggests anything by the morning, i'll throw out mine.

 

[EroticOrogeny]

[PandoraGlitters]

Sure. What's your idea, Jib? Just post a thread. I have an idea for the week after, maybe.

[UnderYourSpell]

I back home so get challenging

 

[RunningJib]

I think I shoud pass

Great!

I'm sorry, I didn't read the entire thread. I thought I was responding to the weekly challenge (I'm starting to write again) rather then come up with the actual challenge itself.

I'll play along for a few weeks before I attempt to come up with a challenge

 

[PandoraGlitters]

Maybe I'll take this week's then? I'd be curious to see what people come up with to respond in poem form to a fairy tale (akin to what Olga Broumas did with Cinderella or Anne Sexton's Transformations, perhaps)? What do you all think?

 

[EroticOrogeny]

I'm interested in seeing your challenge. If you have links to examples that would be great, too.
We had a fairy tale challenge in 2009 Survivor, but I sort of ended up spinning my own, with no real reference to an existing story.

I notice this thread is now sticky, but I still think each challenge should be in a separate thread, otherwise its hard to see when each one starts (and sometimes they overlap). I think most of the challenges had a link from here to the new challenge (but I believe I forgot to put one in - just popped ups a new challenge).

i think that's a fascinating idea, PG - don't think i've been down that particular road before, so i'll be sure to enjoy the scenery along the way

 

[RunningJib]

That's the challenge?

Rework a fairy tale?

Perhaps you could point us new guys towards past submissions. Just to see what is acceptable
