We had so much fun with our Spring Comment Challenge that we are trying it again! This time there's a little twist!
The Mods at Many Paths to Tread (this community's archive) would like to announce our Summer Comment Challenge. This comment challenge will be a scavenger hunt! You find a story with one of the following elements in it. You then leave a comment for the author at Many Paths to Tread , and when you have found your items, you then post to the group. Do comment on the story, and not just on the item you find! You may set your own goals of finding 6, 8, 10 or 12 of the items on the followng list:
1. A harp
2. A ring that is NOT a Ring of Power
3. A goblet
4. A scabbard
5. A ribbon
6. A boot
7. A pan (or a pot)
8. A book (or scroll)
9. A stone
10. A baby
11. A horse (or pony) mentioned by name
12. Clouds
If you locate six of the items, you are a sharp-eyed Ranger.
If you locate eight of the items, you are an expert Elven archer.
If you locate ten of the items, you must be looking through a palantir.
If you locate all twelve of the items, you are proclaimed to be a Lord of the Eagles!
Those who reach their goals will get a special banner!
The challenge begins now, and will run until July 31! We hope everyone will have fun trying this out!

BTW, it was Dawn's idea!
Actually, I could cover quite a few of these with some of my own stories, but I suppose that doesn't count...
Actually, one of the things we mods figured was that if many of those elements could be found in *our* own stories, then they probably were in other people's too-- we tried for things that would be interesting, but common enough for people to actually *find*!

Comods, what say ye? :)
This challenge was almost obsessional for me. I'd like to see it done again, but not *too* often. lol
We want this to be fun, not a chore! And it's not fun to read something you don't like.
