Welcome...


Tropes_and_Taboo (rhea46) Hey I love the fact that this challenges is up early, gives more than enough time to plan out the next months reads. And switch stuff up to finish series or link with other comp. Is it possible to have the November up and running by early October?

I always put the next month's challenges up within the first week of the new month unless I'm linking the challenge to the results of the Character/Couple of the Month polls
