^LOL. I'm sure this is a challenge people (as in the readers) would enjoy, lol.

It's a challenge that I'd actually participate in cuz it doesn't require any work! LOL

LOL. Exactly!! Well, might have to go do some searching and type it out (cause my works are so old, that the words "computer" and "microsoft word" ceased to exist in my vocabulary, lol.) cause my old work was all written on paper. I've killed sooo many trees. :( Lol.

all my old 'cringe worthy' fics were on my old computer or written in notebooks. either way, I no longer have them. *shruggs*

I would have to sit that challange out. Maybe you should have challenge A and challenge B for next month...that way those of us who can't do one could do the other.

I have an old website where mine are still posted. I have one completed one and then the rest aren't completed, but still laughable.

lol it's funny but way back when, I almost sent you (mare) that pic as a suggestion for a challenge. but then my comp crashed and I never tried to re gather all my media... I'll see if it's on the one CD of old files that I have, but if it's too hard to sift through it all, I'll probably give up

I know exactly which pic you're talking about, and I'm digging through BSBSquad and other site to try and find it.. so far no luck.  I think it was from the Around The World In 100 Hours thing they did... when they were on that private plane?

What if the challenge or one of the challenges was to take a cringe-worthy scene from one of your stories (old or current, if there's a recent part that makes you cringe) and rewrite it to see how much better you can make it?
