What if everyone just picked their own era to write in, instead of voting on a common year?  The challenge would still be to write a "historical" fanfic LOL.  Just a thought!

I like that idea, but I kinda like the idea of us all doing the same years, too, cos that adds to the challenge and the "what will everyone do with them 'then'" of it, yanno? Like if we can all pick our own years it won't feel as... "collected" or whatever. Like we can't compare them as easily or... I know what I'm saying, the question is if it's coming out of my mouth anytime this year or not, and I'm guessing 'no' so hopefully YOU know what I'm saying.

Phew.

Wow that paragraph is totally something I'd have Nick say in a fic.

But it would be accompanied by the other guys all looking at him like "say whuh?"

Yeah exactly, just picking your own year wouldn't really make it that much of a challenge. I like the idea of everyone sticking to the same year. Besides, you're not even going to participate!  :P

If I remember right, the last challenge you did left us at a very very very mean cut off. (okay part of that was mine and Mare's fault but that's not the point! LOL). Not sure if I want you to do a challenge! :P
