Hinga Dinga Durgen! - Wednesday September 16, 2009
Every October 9th, in honor of New World discovery (but mostly in honor of Spongebob), my best friend and I celebrate Leif Erikson Day:


Inspired by saintvi's pirate contest, and because I am far too impatient to actually wait for October, the end-of-September challenge is simply: VIKINGS. Create a post that is in some way related to Vikings or Erikson himself. It can be anything you want: a drawing, a photograph, you dressed in a silly costume, a piece of fiction, a historical blurb- just be creative! And your incentive:

*At the end of the challenge (Sept. 30), I shall (completely subjectively of course) determine which is the best and most creative piece, and the winner gets a month of premium!

Go forth and spread the word!

So I'm guessing that no one participated in this challenge then.

Not only did no one participate in this one, but worse than that, no October challenge was offered.

Dear Kween,


Another one bites the dust?

@Jeri_Dee - I for one would welcome you back, but you may have to start a new blog.  I don't think the host on this one ever signs on here anymore.

Kween, you obviously don't have the time for this kind of sit.  Why don't you just pass the torch to someone else who might be able to do the job?

As the original Kween of this blog ring, I have sent a note to the current kween asking if it would be possible to regain the blog ring, but as yet have heard nothing...I am guessing that you no longer have any urge to run this ring....if that is the case, would you be willing to turn it back over to me?  I still have a blog here and would welcome this blog ring back with a certain amount of joy...please let me know....and as well would any of the readers object to me regaining my title as leader?

@thereluctantsinger - She just posted today.

early September: Goosebumps - Tuesday September 15, 2009
**Last day for this one. I've got something special in store for tomorrow :)

I'm throwing in the towel on the last challenge. Perhaps the core readership of this sort of thing dislikes change and doesn't want to think about moving. All right then, I'll give it another go.

The prompt for the next two weeks: what gives you goosebumps?
These can be goosebumps of fear, of joy, of pure thrill- any kind of goosebumps at all. Just tell us what it is that's powerful enough to cause all the follicle muscles in your skin to contract at once. And maybe spread the word a little? It'd be nice to have more than one or two participants this time. 

<3 Kween

I have some input on the prompts. This is SOLEY my input & I'm not sure how the crowd of participaters feels as a whole... but I wish there were more photography prompts. Back in the day when I used to participate in these, it used to be writing + pictures type deals; the two components together.


I just get bored with writing for some reason. Now, like I said, that is simply my opinion. I haven't participated in a while because nothing has really caught my eye, but I've been keeping up with what's going on here every so often. Let me know what you think !!!


Peace & Love- Ali

I decided not to write on this topic. I don't know what gives me goosebumps.

Posted 9/15/2009 at 5:20 PM by Zeal4living

@alibaby3203 - I enjoy the pictures as well

Posted 8/31/2009 at 3:31 PM by hubbaduh

I also thought that I'd throw out there that I thought it was good when previous Kweens would rec the submissions that came in...I felt like that helped us 'get to know each other' as it were.  I know that sometimes I forget to come back and check out other comments on the posts once I link to mine.

Posted 8/31/2009 at 7:4 PM by Kween_of_the_Queens

Oh wow.  I'm gonna have to think about this one, because it's been a long time since I've had goose bumps.
