I'm just wondering from the people who took part in the Easter Challenge last week if anyone has any thoughts or ideas about the new section.

I'm also wanting to know if anyone found anything that looked a bit strange, didn't work or anything like that. There are a couple more things in the pipeline but I'd like to iron out any problems before I carry on with the next part.

The direct links to the current and future challenge pages in the "My Pages" section give a 404 error instead of going to the actual pages.

That's what I've found that hasn't worked, even if it isn't part of the challenge tab itself.

I liked the very short story idea where we had to incorporate the different items.
Keeping it short means that those who are not good at longer novels can give it a go, and those of us with faster typing speeds have to think to incorporate the different items.
We could also run it at different levels.
Level 1 - write 2000 word short story
level 2 - incorporate these things
Level 3 - first/third person
Level 4 - try a new genre than you are used to.

Another idea is to do a short novel, chapter by chapter, week by week with different authors for each chapter.
This could become a novel written by all of us in the end.
