That was very helpful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-the-rules#post-1168390 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 15:33:24 +0000 April 1168390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's how the Challenge Chain is envisioned.</p> <p>1. &nbsp;If you choose to participate, you'll get placed on a numbered list.<b> &nbsp;(Your location on the list doesn't determine&nbsp;when your challenge will arise&nbsp;since the order of the challenges will be generated randomly.)</b></p> <p>2. &nbsp;I'll kick things off by using a random number generator to pick the first person to be challenged.</p> <p>3. &nbsp;I'll try to get a sense of what style goals that person is working on by looking at their past posts, and I'll use that information to pose a challenge. &nbsp;(For example, I love neutrals, and once got challenged to incorporate two bright colors into one outfit.)</p> <p>4. &nbsp;After I pose the challenge, the first participant fulfills the challenge and posts pictures. &nbsp;To keep things moving, it's best if you can fulfill your challenge within a day or two. &nbsp;But if your challenge comes up at a bad time for you, or if you get a challenge that seems overwhelming to you for any reason, please don't worry. &nbsp;Just PM me and we'll figure out together whether you'll sit this one out completely or whether you just need to postpone your participation. &nbsp;<b>This should not be a stressful or intimidating experience! &nbsp;</b></p> <p><b><br /></b>5. &nbsp;After the first participant&nbsp;fulfills her challenge, I will go back to the random number generator and have it select someone for that person&nbsp;to challenge, and she&nbsp;will then follow steps 3 and 4 for Participant #2..</p> <p>6. &nbsp;The last person comes back around and&nbsp;challenges me.</p> <p>ETA: We later tweaked this to add&nbsp;that anyone who wanted to attempt a challenge posed to someone else should feel free to go ahead and post her results on that challenge thread,&nbsp;<b>any time after the original challengee had posted her own photos.</b></p> <p></p> <p>Okay? &nbsp;Off to post the list of participants who have come forward thus far. &nbsp;If you're interested but didn't say so yet, feel free to&nbsp;jump right in now.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
