Original idea taken from Kameravene.
Corrections, content suggestions and information about further challenges welcome.
Once the challenge-specific archive-pages are up, I will link them here as well.
You made them all together! Wow. There´s so many, that one person can´t participe them all – at least I think so
Participating in all of the individual challenges in a week would actually be a nice marathon challenge.
And even that’d mean relying on archives, since the topics likely would cover way too many things to deal with in a single week.
Great list, thankyou!
Thanks for participating in the new Two 4 Tuesday meme! Mind including a link here? This a great list! Thanks again!
Sure, I definitely will include Two 4 Tuesday here.
This list is overdue an update, and will write a new one next week.
