So, here goes another effort at a chron challenge. It's similar to the one I tried last summer, but I'll simplify the requirements somewhat. Someone--probably 453--will no doubt complain that it's basically the same as last year, so my preemptive reply is: come up with a better idea yourself then :P !


Challenge:
Write a chron that is at least 500 words long (not that I'll be counting) describing some important event in the life of one of your characters from the TSs.

Well, this doesn't seem to be generating too much interest, so I'll try to come up with an alternative (eventually).

Yeah, the challenge is fine, leave it for a couple months. I can probably do something for it, but I have other projects with deadlines first.

In North America, summer is the period from the summer solstice (usually 20 or 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere) to the autumn equinox.

No, the boards are based on Northern Hemisphere time, so we go by that definition of summer. (Besides, the Southern Hemisphere is just weird, with clocks spinning the wrong direction and all.)

Well, I'll leave the main challenge intact, but I will add an alternate challenge as well.


Alternative Chron Challenge:
Explain (in your opinion) what happened to all of the various TS characters in the Blazing Trails TS series, since it's unlikely that that series is ever going to :( .

You didn't answer whether my novel chapter counts. I'll post the second chapter if it helps.

It probably wouldn't help as far as getting Sely to acknowledge that you've completed this challenge, but I'd like to read the second chapter :D

Probably "I'd like to read the second chapter." :P

BMW's wish is my command To be honest it was already written, I've just been spacing out submissions so you have something to look forward to. And I hadn't formatted it yet.

Indeed, I'd ban you, but the activity level on the board is too low for me to easily do that :( .

Alternatively, you could come up with the next Chron challenge?
