This is a response from a newbie (only a couple months into QAF) and a reader only due to my complete lack of creativity. However... I've read enough fic over the past couple of months to earn me at least a little credit, I think. Hopefully you find these answers helpful.

Would you like to see more challenges incorporating graphics? Yes, and vids too. The talent is amazing. I can't imagine the time involved to make these.

Would you like a repeat of past themes? Yes What the theme meant to a writer years ago could be something completely different. And with new writers, there's always going to be something new. I'm boggled by the things all these minds on here can come up with!

Would you like to have a team challenge, with 2 or more participants tackling each theme? Yes. I read a LONG fic by 2 authors with one writing Brian POV and one writing Justin POV and it was amazing. Of course my memory will not let me recall the name of it, but I think it would be great to see this in a challenge.

Do you leave comments on entries? Why? Yes, just on the ones I like. Even if the authors don't reply (which is fine!), I like to let them know what I liked and didn't like, and what about the entry left me completely incoherent and drooling afterwards. Someone above said something to the effect of "I'd rather the authors spend time writing than responding to all the comments" - I totally agree!

Would you like to post your own entries? n/a

Readers, would you prefer to keep the challenges anonymous? Yes! I haven't been here long enough to recognize the writing or more than 1 or 2 writers, but I hope to get there! I wouldn't want to NOT read something just because I might not have enjoyed a previous fic by them and anonymity takes the possible bias out of it.

Your fave challenge so far, and why? Hurt/Comfort and Clusterfuck Challenge.

Hope it's okay that I stuck my nose in here and gave more detail. Tx!
