@DIO-Berry

Ah, you can’t really be late with this challenge,

I know, I’ve begun the fall challenge 15 days before the end
But right now, the winter challenge is still going on ^^

@DIO-Berry

you could always make a placeholder post.

I did, I did ! On post 24^^
I didn’t tell it was a post holder but it is ^^ (I’m bound to be neighbor with @Akashelia, it’s already the case in the on going challenge^^)

I’m bound to be neighbor with @Akashelia, it’s already the case in the on going challenge^^)

Haha I didn’t notice that! But not surprised as we are in the same time zone, those challenges really highlight that, I usually see the same folk updating at the time where I update before bed (hi @Redglare ), and when I see an update in the middle of the day (for me), I know it must be someone somewhere in Australia (hi @Jintor !) or US people who go to bed when I wake up (hi @javerend )

[ekuroe]

And then there’s me who often posts in EU waking hours despite being in Australia because my sleep schedule is truly broken (haven’t been updating lately, though…)

[DIO-Berry]

How odd do I appear to people? I’m in Japan but usually I update in the mornings or whenever I remember lol

[araigoshi]

I’m a bit of a night owl, so I wonder how many people think I’m American with my posting times lol

[DIO-Berry]

@moderators can you make this post a wiki?

[araigoshi]

There’s also @Mods , not sure which is more correct

[DIO-Berry]

Interesting because that no longer comes up when I start typing mod. It used to before.

@Mods @moderators can you clarify which @ to use?

I am dibsing this as my home thread. Will make it pretty and add words later (if I remember lol)

[Akashelia]

I’ve only ever used Mods and they show up

[TofuguNico]

@DIO-Berry

@moderators can you make this post a wiki?

Done

@DIO-Berry

@Mods @moderators can you clarify which @ to use?

For some reason, I don’t believe @moderators actually notifies us so I’d recommend going with @Mods

[NeoArcturus]

Sorry, I think you made the wrong post a wiki He meant this one:

Indeed! That’s fixed now.

@DIO-Berry Does the title need to say “Japanese”? Like Japanese-only Challenge, no multilingual?

Also the time frame probably should end at May 31, rather than 30.

[DIO-Berry]

Thank you! And good to know about the @

@DIO-Berry Does the title need to say “Japanese”? Like Japanese-only Challenge, no multilingual?

While people can track whatever reading they’d like, I think it’s good to keep Japanese in to distinguish it from other challenges. Like my elementary school also had a read everyday of summer challenge. Since the category is reading and not community, this thread gets indexed by Google. Other people may search for Japanese reading challenges, so this’ll make it easier to find.

[Redglare]

Good point about the google index.

I was thinking the title looks better without the word “Japanese”. For me it’s clear that this thread is about reading in Japanese because it’s in the Japanese Language category and because, in the original post, I had this at the very beginning of the post:

@Redglare

Welcome to the “Read Japanese Every Single Day For A Whole Summer” Challenge!

With that line, the intention of the thread is very clear. That’s obviously a mouthful of a title, so I shortened it to “Read Every Day Challenge”.

If people in this challenge want to track other languages as well on top of their JP, that’s totally ok. I’ve yet to see anyone join without tracking JP at all. I’d be confused if that happened tbh. Those cases would fit more in Campfire imo.

I’m not saying we should do anything about the title, it’s fine either way, I just wanted to express my thoughts on it

Another season, another challenge. Except it’s still the same season for me. It’s the dry season right now and we’ve been having sunny days every day, just the way I like it. Sure, it gets too hot sometimes but that’s better than being wet and cold. Edit: 3rd April. I spoke too soon. When I set up this post, it hadn’t rained for days but since April started it has rained every day. Now it is wet and cold, the worst kind of days for me. Edit 4th April- the sun is back. Yay!

Anyway, with the last challenge I’ve completed a 7-month streak. I hope to continue with the streak for this challenge as well. This year, I picked dialogue-heavy books to read and I don’t see that changing any time soon. I just have to hope that there wouldn’t be too much handwriting in it as well. I gave up a couple series this year already because of that.
