Under New Management - Friday July 24, 2009

Dearest Subjects,

I write to tell you that the torch has been passed to a new Kween. While I am a little disappointed to find that this title comes with little in the way of actual gold, I am pleased to be trusted with the reins of this site and what it is associated with.

Briefly, my mission statement: I hope to bring the status of Kween challenges back to what I recall they once were. I can remember this site being as influential and popular as Featured_Grownups once, when Kween's questions became fodder for top blogs on a regular basis. Maybe this is too ambitious, but I am a young and determined Kween. With the credits accumulated here I hope also to offer some incentive to these challenges; perhaps the best writer in a given month might be rewarded with a little Premium?

But this is just speculation, and I cannot tell yet what the future might hold for this place. Expect the first new challenge in a couple of days, when your Kween will have access to some higher quality internet than she deals with currently.

Best regards till then,

your Kween

Good luck! Sorry for the lack of gold. It'd be nice to see this place as what it once was.

Resigning - Thursday July 23, 2009

'Ello. The Kween here.

I can't keep up with this anymore. If you would like to take over, please send a message. I'll be more than happy to help someone else if they'd like to take over for me. I just don't have the time to do this with life, my own blog, and another collaborative effort in which I participate. Sorry for the let down. I'm not sure what will happen if no one is interested in taking over.

Any takers?

Slow Summer - Sunday July 19, 2009
Who wants to spend their whole summer inside writing? Not me, not me. Well, because I'm lazy (as I've mentioned before), I don't have a topic for you this time. So instead, we're going to do something a little different. It's definitely not the first time it's been done here in Xangaland, though I'm not sure who started it.

You're going to leave a comment. Next, you're going to write something nice about the person who commented above you. It can be a poem, a story, a little introduction, whatever you want, as long as it's something positive. If you don't happen to know that person, get to know them. Start commenting, send them a message, something, anything. Reach out to your fellow Xanga Babies and appreciate one another.

Once you've finished your post about your fellow Xangan, send me a message. Don't post it in a comment because if you do, you'll have your name in twice to be written about, you see? There is no deadline as of now. I'll decide when I see how much interest (if any) this accumulates.

Aaaand go!

Hmmmm....I have to be nice?  This will clearly take a lot of work on my part

This will be fun! and it's too hot to write anything right now...

Posted 7/13/2009 at 2:13 PM by buckeyegirl31

Hi TheCheshireGrins.....I will take up the task of getting to know you....and then put the mighty pen to work to write about you....will do my best!

Posted 7/15/2009 at 5:46 AM by Zeal4living

Okay, I can write something about that one up there ^

Posted 7/13/2009 at 2:28 PM by TheCheshireGrins

@storyslut -  I will do my best... off to your site to get to know you now! :)

@Zeal4living - You're mine baby!    Just joking around, it will be a pleasure to get to know you.

Posted 7/16/2009 at 3:6 PM by storyslut

@white_tiger_68 - Count me in.

Off with their heads! - Friday July 10, 2009
Okay, not really, but I do have some horrible news!

The Queen has left for the summer, let us all take a moment of silence and remember Tastybaby, the most amazing Xangan there is. Like ever.

If you didn't know, he is taking a vacation from Xanga. The entire summer, or so I've been told. Personally, I'm devastated.

The fact that he asked me, of all people do take over this account, was a total honor, I'll try and run it as great as he did, though I'm sure I will be nothing in comparison.

I just wanted to give a heads up that there is a Princess taking over while the Queen is away. Though I don't consider myself a princess, the title just seems to go with the job.  And I'll do my best, and try to burn this site to the ground.

Any idea's for a challenge feel free to send a message!


Since the picture prompts do so well, you can either do a prompt off of this picture;;




Here's the code for the graphic that links back to the challenge. For a small tutorial on how to make this work, if you would like to use it, click here.



And/Or.

Write about, if you were granted you three wishes, what would those wishes be? Why? What do you think the possible repercussions might be?
-A modified version of one of silkenbutterfly's ideas.



And in memory of the one and only, amazing Tasty,
Go Xanga babies!

I heard he's not completely gone for the summer, just mostly. Either way, cool challenge. I might actually do it this time, in honor of the tasty one.  [=

@TheWriteWay - Yay for Tasty! :)
@pansybradshaw - Thank you.

Good luck as fill in. Are you doing it for the summer only? My post is here: wish...
peace

For the picture challenge. How long did we have to do this?

Posted 6/24/2009 at 7:19 PM by MrsMok

I attempted this.


*emphasis on attempted*


I'm not quite sure mine makes the bill, but I just kind of wrote about the three wishes deal.

@champagne4losangeles -

Is there a deadline? 

Posted 6/27/2009 at 7:10 PM by TheWriteWay

I did it, but don't know how to give you a link to it.
