Sounds like fun, can't wait to see what the first challenges will be.

Thread Challenge!

Okay, guys. Round number one. Here we go.

1.) Visit Dictionary.com. Implement the word of the day into your NaNo posts.

2.) Your character must encounter another character that is of a race or species that they have never met before.

3.) Include both a bunny (yes, a rabbit) and a running man in the same post.

Enjoy!

Quotes:
I answer thee, thou art a beggar, a quean, and a bawd.
-- Thomas Middleton, Five Plays
Had I had my own will, I would have had her to Bridewell, to flog the wild blood out of her—a cutty quean, to think of wearing the breeches, and not so much as married yet!
-- Sir Walter Scott, Waverley Novels
Origin:
Quean, predictably, is rooted in the same Old English word that queen comes from, the word cwen which meant woman.

Is there a time limit to this? Since this comes in weekly is it supposed to be added into the role play mix within the same week?

by **Serrif Von Chatlyn** on November 6th, 2011, 6:56 pm

Yes what are the limits and all on this. Does it have to be done within a week or can it just be done before NaNo ends?

by **Gossamer** on November 6th, 2011, 7:00 pm

All thread elements must be incorporated into the threads by Dec 1 and listed to get the medal

. For the Dictionary.com word, I don't mind if people use any word thats a word of the day between now and Dec 1st. The 5ths word was just GREAT.

It is--I think I'll have Bold mention Cygnas the Eth as a 'quean.'

by **Cygnas** on November 6th, 2011, 9:21 pm

HEY!!!!!!!!! I SEE THIS, LISA! What is with you?! Crotch shots in Jen's Scrapbook, and now this?!?! Oh, I'm gonna have to stalk everything you do, now! XD
