FAVORITE CHALLENGES: Sorry for the wait. I keep having to find replacement judges so it's not just me and Katie, or me and Evun, or all three off us just deciding. I want at least one more voice before I decide as I have stated before. So while we wait, I have a question for all those who competed!
1. Music Videos -- it was so much fun to put together a playlist of my favorite music videos and see a taste of the other contestants' music taste.
2. Artist Promotion -- I actually really liked the idea of a partner challenge, and I loved working with Edge.
3. Build-A-Challenge -- the entries were all so good this round, it was a really creative challenge and I think it was a really strong round for pretty much everyone.
1.) Artist Promotion - even though it was the challenge I ended up getting eliminated in, it gave me my niche on ATRL: stanning for obscure things. I also got to work with one of the best members on this site.
2.) Avatar Challenge - It was the only one where I got a top callout, and I did it without a moving picture
3.) Song Interpretations - Even though I didn't compete in it, I really liked the concept. Also boyonce slayed it, and that made me happy.
I found my favorite 3 challenges were the ones I competed in
1.Artist Promotion - I like the fact we were given actual promotion powers to promote, in my case Ke$ha. It also gave the chance to get to know a competitor very well
2. Avatar - this was fun for me since it gave me a chance to create an original gif to make my Avi and to express who I was as a person and in this contest
3. Base King - it gave us the chance to come up with intresting threads. It also brought my a-game to get some of my competitors old threads a bump just so their actual base thread would get less publicity
say in Collins case, the nicki minaj Christmas album thread
1. username/avatar: I know these were two separate ones, but I felt like they go hand in hand. They started the competition off, and more than any other challenges allowed us to show who we are as posters.
2. Base King: Loved this one. I think a big part of being a Top Member is understanding what ATRL wants, and creating quality threads.
3. Artist Promotion: I liked this one because I really had to step outside of the box...I think it did a great job of measuring who was a top member!
And Edge...I can't wait to hear the whole story of meeting Rihanna! Congrats!!!
While we wait, let's look at this time when Beyonce whipped her weave across my face...
1.Music Taste- I love music so much, it's a big part of my life, and I really enjoyed making a EP on a time in my life.
2.Music Videos- Sort of the same reason as above, but it really opened me up to videos I really loved in the past, and what the other competitors are into. I loved it
3. Artist promotion- "Promo" is a very widely used word on ATRL, and it was fun to be put in the promoters shoes, and push an artist's work, especially when it's someone, like Nicki Minaj, who hasn't had the best year. I really had fun working with Scene, and it allowed me to get to know her better.

♢ Artist Promotion - I feel like this was the one challenge where I really shined. Energy and I made a great team together, and I spent countless hours working on our "thread" because not only did I not want to let myself down, I didn't want to let Energy down either.
♢ Casting Challenge - Describing why I should be a Top Member was difficult because at the beginning of the cycle, I was still really new here on ATRL. Not many people knew me, and I didn't know all the terms people were using, etc. Still, I gave it my best shot and spoke from the heart. One thing I also like from that challenge was at that time, we were all grouped into two large teams. Everyone was being so messy, trying to prove that they or their team were greater than the other, and trying to make their personality stand out enough to get in the show.
♢ Music Taste - Even though I was eliminated before I had a chance to compete in this one, the entries that resulted from it gave me a clearer insight into everyone's lives. I would have loved to have been able to take part.
Username - I still kii with my friends about the conception of my name
Music Videos - I was...experiencing the effects as I compiled my list
Music Taste - Unexpected end results but my favorite piece that I did
I enjoyed other challenges for other reasons like Artist Promo (hated I was stuck with...her...but got to work with ethan), Smilies (got to know Devil intimately even though he won't have me) and Musical Chairs (I had no idea what was happening cuz I was trashed but I was still saved).
1. Music Taste
I love self expression via music, and sharing the reasons why I came I to this site in the first place.
2. Base Thread
I found this to be an important aspect to this game. And I enjoyed coming up with interactive thread ideas!
3. Artist Promo
This was mostly great because I had so much fun working with Zune, someone I may have not got to know as well. A great way to bring users together in the name of great artists!
That's a pretty heavy win...
(since it's technically the next day)
