Hey everyone! The other Renee and myself have been working on a new challenge idea to begin in the near future. Sign ups will not start until January 18, 2009 and the writing will go through March. Even though it's early, we wanted to post our idea to get your feedback and thoughts. We were also trying to get an idea of who all might possibly be interested in participating. Basically, the challenge is to select a genre from a list of possible choices. Your story must be based around the genre you selected. The catch is, there are only going to be two open spots per genre so we will have a wide variety of stories. Stories may be written individually or with a co-writer, and the length of the story is your choice. At the end of the challenge, the stories will be read and voted on to receive awards. Please check out the site and let us know your thoughts. broken-smile.net/hgc/Thanks!

Just a reminder that Sunday is the last day to sign up for the HGC. Beginning on Monday, participants may start posting their stories! I have received all the links but two so far, so it looks like we're pretty much set to begin. I know Renee and I are both verrrry excited at the amount of participants and look forward to reading all of the new stories. Don't forget, once writing begins, feel free to announce your updates on the HGC community over at LiveJournal.
Good luck everyone!
-Renee C.

Ok, Renee C. and I need to apologize to Celeste who we were supposed to be helping her with hosting. She had sent us her whole story before the end of the writing period and we did not see it in her email. Celeste, we are so very sorry and we'll have your story up ASAP! I have added your name/genre/story to the nominees list. Forgive us! Everyone else, check back here or at the site for the link soon!
