I love this challenge already! As Chris stated, I always wanted to host a reading challenge but never had a topic in mind. Of course, I realized that my track record with challenges is less than stellar. What a really need is a challenge to complete my challenges! So I invented The I Suck at Challenges Challenge. It's rather tongue in cheek but it might keep some of you challenges on the path to actually completing one or two. Lord knows there's enough challenges starting up now to tempt you all.
My category:
The 12 Steppers
(Aka "I can stop whenever I want.")
There's a challenge. You see it. Your palms start to sweat. Mr Linky mocks you. You try to stop yourself but it's too late. You've committed yourself to Books That Start With Q Challenge and you know you'll do it again when the next challenge comes along. The only thing is, how are you ever going to complete them all? Sound like you? Then you are a 12 Stepper. No program is going to help you though; you're addicted.
The rules are to list every challenge that you've signed up for. Chris will periodically call on participants to tell her their progress. She's also going to have giveaways.

1. The A to Z Challenge
2. A Novel Group's Mini-Challenge

You are insane, my friend. Clinically, I think! I thought I was doing a bunch of challenges....
It is a good idea for a challenge. I hardly signed up for any challenges last year, though, and this year I only did ones that I would be reading anyway, so I don't really think I qualify.
I can't believe you are in 23 challenges! Other people are in more! Just crazy! (Good crazy, not bad crazy!)
Aerin and Kailana: I know I am insane!I said I would only join four to six challenges this year and joined 23. Okay, no more! =)
Whoa! You are a 12 Stepper! Welcome to the challenge.
Mr Linky mocks you--I love it! You are signed up for quite a few challenges. I'm not sure I could keep track of al those if it were me!
Too funny. I can relate. I see a challenge and my first reaction is to join. I created a self-enforced rule though to control myself: print out the rules of the challenge, read carefully, wait 24 hours. If you still want to join, go ahead. It has helped me not to join challenges for genres I know I will never read. I am definitely going to check this out.
Too funny! I'm going to think about joining this ... will it push me over the edge, or just let me laugh at the mess I've gotten myself into?!
