It doesn't seem like Cristina is very involved in it anymore, as her life seems to have taken her in other (wonderful!) directions. This seemed like the place to ask, sorry if it's not.

If I were to hazard a guess, then I would say yes.

To clarify, if she's no longer willing to be involved, it doesn't mean the challenge won't happen. But she's still very active online, so it would only be fair to ask before someone else takes over.

OK Everyone! I'm going to turn off the bot listener on the 2nd of January, so you've got one day to tweet all final results for 2017.

You have been warned!

I was thinking about opening a "Super Challenge III Conclusion" thread - somewhere for people to post their final experiences, favorite books and movies, etc. Any thoughts or objections? I've been offline for a few months, so I've lost track of any on-going discussions on the Super Challenge.

Is there going to be a Super Challenge 2018-2019?
I hope so! I'm really looking forward to complete the challenge in Italian (because I started it really late last time) and I want to see how far I can go! Also, I want to finally focus and finish the chinese reading part which is my Achilles' heel! :D

I'm going to go out on a limb and say probably yes. Although the bot could use some work.
