I know some of you found me harsh, or even ungrateful. But the truth is that I really care about the challenge. And sometimes I am not so tactful with unpleasant news. At such times I feel ripping the bandaid off is better than pulling it slowly and then kissing it… or something like that. Don’t like ignoring the elephant in the room or whatnot.
We do our best to bring challenges to you folks every day, interesting and fun as we can make them. And it’s not for us. We do it for you guys. That’s why we try hard to be diverse, it isn’t about us and what we want.
Doing this is rewarding. Quite rewarding. But it is also work of a sort.
Imagine planning a Pinkie-esque party but only a guest or two shows up. For a small get together it’s no sweat. But when you try to make something you think will be the toast of the town and that happens, well, it’s just not good.
It’s kind of like that when a 24 hour challenge goes poorly. It truly does make us have to evaluate how many of them we do and when, particularly when we find the idea solid.
That said, there are always factors. Many factors. Sometimes it’s hard to see the trees for the forest. You get stuck on the big picture and fail to appreciate otherwise, even when it’s pointed out to you.
I know some definitely have interest in seeing more 24 hour challenges, at the least hors does, and where there is interest we do not ignore it lightly. So what I would like to know is how many of you artist folk have a particular interest in them as something from time to time. If you want ‘em let us know, y’know? Without input we don’t know if we should put them on the sidelines or trot them out more often.
Feel free to tack on details as well, such as if you’d prefer notice of them or how frequently you’d like to see them.
Thanks for reading.
And don’t forget!
Bonus challenges were promised for this weekend after the issues with The Asian Challenge. Since the 24 hour challenge was in progress that got squeezed to Sunday. Rather than bombard Sunday though I think we’ll save one for next weekend too.
So, after The Asian Challenge there’ll be a bonus both this week and next week.
