Super Challenge 2016-17 DISCUSSION THREAD
So. The Challenge starts at midnight - any questions and doubts you have feel free to ask. I will do my outmost to answer, but if I am not quick enough, Serpent is authorized to answer for me. I trust her memory better than I trust my own

Re: Super Challenge 2016-17 DISCUSSION THREAD
So happy to see the third Super Challenge about to start! Did anyone believe we would be crazy enough to do it three times???

This is only my second time doing this challenge, but it is a great challenge. Even more important, it works!
If this challenge wasn't going with other people, I'd be doing this challenge on my own.

Re: Super Challenge 2016-17 DISCUSSION THREAD
Maybe I'll get up at midnight tonight to get some pages in.
It won't worry my wife; she knows I'm crazy.

Re: Super Challenge 2016-17 DISCUSSION THREAD
I had hoped to be sensible and in bed sleeping by now, but it seems that won't happen, so I may well be clocking in some pages read at midnight, too.

Yes I'm sat here just twiddling my thumbs because with 20 minutes to go it feels like there's no point starting to read/watch anything that might count!

Re: Super Challenge 2016-17 DISCUSSION THREAD
I noticed it was past midnight. One page of Russian down!
And... while one page seems like nothing, that's about what I'll be doing per day for a little bit. It will get easier, just like it did with Spanish.
