I think I'll have to get myself into this, too. I need a reason to make me get back into reading and writing. But...I will have to think a little on what story I'd have to offer up.

As long as I know you guys are interested we can wait on you but not too long only because once August starts I know all the teachers doing this challenge are not going to have a lot of time to read lol

So as far as I know we're waiting on Kristal, Darby and Steph! Anyone else?

I've read and absolutely LOVED Stockholm Syndrome.  Think I read it last year.  I've made a start on 00Carter but have a long way to go.  But not read any of the others mentioned yet.

Yup, that's going to be the hard part is being able to challenge someone especially if you have read most of the stories above. I'm still trying to figure out how to do the dueling part lol Looking forward to it though.

I can't challenge Rose or Julie cause I am an avid reader of 00Carter anyway lol. There are some stories listed that look interesting.

One other thing about this challenge, when you pick a story to submit, it really should be done or close to done. It seems like most are but there is one ot two that aren't. If they aren't finished and only 10 or more chapters in, the person reading it might not really be able to give you what you want.
