trickortreatexAO3 support has been contacted about the authors failing to reveal.
shadowsapiens will be the official Chief Goblin next year.
Neither community challenge, Challenge Yourself or Shopping List, were completed this year. But you all got very close to completing Shopping List. Shopping List was very ambitious and it didn't work out as planned, but I'm still glad that we tried it this year. We won't be revisiting Shopping List unless I can find a way to make it far more manageable. Next year we will be playing a game of Battleship.
If you have never played it before, here is a page about the game. It will be done as the entire community trying to sink my ships. The squares will operate like they did in Bingo. I will be picking the difficulty roughly the same way as I did for Bingo. You don't have to get the entire board to win, you just need to find where my hidden ships are and sink them.
For next year, if this bug hasn't been resolved, I will temporarily close the collection just during work and author reveals. As soon as the reveals have gone through the collection will be reopened.
If you participated in Challenge Yourself and want to talk about how you challenged yourself then do so on this post.

Date: 2018-11-07 07:30 pm (UTC)I actually only tagged one work of mine for the challenge, because I thought it was silly to tag them all. Every single thing I wrote for the collection was challenging, though!
The one I tagged was "The Vaunted Halls Of Old" for the epic poem Aniara--was challenging because it was poetry and epic poetry at that. It took me quite a bit to even find a copy of the Poetic Edda because I couldn't get the rhyme scheme out of my head and wanted to compare the two if at all possible. Well, spoiler alert: it fucking wasn't. It turned out the similarities were mostly in my mind, and perhaps in the subject matter (at least that's my entirely unprofessional opinion on both) I'm still not entirely sure if the rhyme scheme even matches up to the original Aniara poem. I tried, though! And at least the story made it through my editing :D
