"Maybe consider fewer challenges? Perhaps just one or two a year?"
I quite liked the time-scale, though: longer than the week-long ones, but short enough to remind me to get my skates on and do something. Which I signally failed to do for the Reporter's Notebook one, I admit. (But I tried! - I have a couple of silly exchanges which will doubtless surface in something else, at least.) And when you have really really long times, I feel that I ought to produce something of some length, as with the minimum word count for the Big Bang.
Also, I really liked the idea that someone (slantedlight) was taking them all and putting them together into little e-zines and making them beautiful. I am still wishing I had saved my druggy story for the Christmas one, just in case she does that again! And I was thinking "next year..." and now there may not be one. Woe.
