Uh... yeah, sure. Any of ^that then.  (Seriously, I'm open to just about anything.)

I do remind myself of Animal sometimes. 
I was always fond of the random character challenges.

It does sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't know if I can commit time wise, RL has taken over completely to the point where I can even remember the last time I wrote something 
If you need someone to cheerlead or pinch-hit a beta I might be able to do that though...

I'm game for anything. I enjoyed the POV challenge just for the sake of seeing so many surprising points of view. I would be glad to try my hand at anything, though.

Okay, from Ocracoke Island I send you this Hobbit-themed challenge:
 By September 1st I will post a list of races that appears in the Hobbit, followed by a number range, i.e. Elves 1-5.
Before 9/8 members who want to participate should post their character race preference, e.g. Hobbits, and any number within that range as a reply to this posting. I will have randomly and secretly assigned the major Hobbit characters numbers within those racial groups so that Bilbo is not necessarily Hobbit #1.
Before 9/15 I will send each participant a pm with their character selection.
Using that character, you (and I) will then have one month, until 10/15, to write a story of at least 1000 words incorporating the theme of "Reunion" ("a getting together of two or more acquaintances after a few hours or several years"). Any and all other characters are up to the Writer's discretion. The story does not have to take place during the time frame of The Hobbit, just employ a character from the Hobbit.
 Also, I challenge you to include some aspect of your current life, e.g. I'm on vacation so I my character might be taking a trip or just be sharing a house with friends at a time when life seems relaxed and open to possibilities. You might be getting ready to go back to school, struggling with work, raising children etc.
So, use your imagination, no need to be too literal, and let me know if you have any questions.

Hooray for challenges! I won't be able to do this one because I don't want to take the time to reread The Hobbit and do the necessary research. I'll be available for beta-reading, though, and plenty of rah-rahs!
(Sorry for dropping out; I'd be happy to participate in a fandom other than Tolkien, but The Hobbit deserves soemthing more than my half-assed half-remembered attempts at canon compliance.)
Best luck! |

Excellent! I'm looking forward to this.

Shiny.
Wait, shit, wrong fandom. Fuck.  Real auspicious beginning, Neu. Brava...
What if I already know I want Elf #3? (Seriously, that just jumped into my head with one of those "Do it!" feelings. Idk. I've been drinking.)

Okay, Gang, here we go:
Those of you who would like to participate in this challenge, please respond to this post and tell me which of the character categories below you would like to write about, and choose a random character of that race by indicating a number in the range below for that character (I've mixed 'em up, so don't assume Hobbit #1 is Bilbo, e.g.).
Clear as mud? OK:
Beasties: 1-5
Dwarf: 1-15
Elves: 1-4
Evil Creatures: 1-7
Hobbits: 1-4
Men: 1-4
For myself, I'm going to choose a category and roll a die so that I'm also not handpicking my category.
Hope to hear from you soon!

Correction, the beasties character should be 1-9.
