finminer - 2026-01-03 11:50 AM We greatly appreciate your efforts - family comes first though! Really wish I could help with the simpler stuff. In the meantime...some friends & I have decided to read all the Hugo & Nebula nominated short stories for the 1960's. They all appear to be in WWE, so I've created a challenge to facilitate easy tracking. It will need some sort of banner, but no hurry. If this is successful, I may follow on to this challenge in future years. Is there a way to lock what books apply to a certain challenge? Just wondering, as this new one has specific entries. Thank you for all you do!

Great idea for a challenge! The only built in restrictions are the genres you pick and the number of reads for each level. If you mark it as SF only readers won't be able to add fantasy or horror books to their list. Sounds like an upgrade might be in order. We could easily add some checkbox selections for book types. We'll keep that in mind for future upgrades, thanks!

Hello again everyone. I have managed to get caught up on the switch over from 2025 to 2026 with the new logo and images. I may have missed a 2025 image here or there so if you see one please let me know.

Next for me is to re-up the challenges I host every year: WoGF, Number of the Counting, Tor.com Short Fiction. Should get to those tomorrow -ish.

Also, if anyone wants to pick up the challenges that the late, great Charlesdee hosted please feel free. Those are: In Translation, The WABAC Machine and The Weirdness -- all were last seen in 2023 before he got really sick. They were pretty popular as I remember.

I will pick up The WABAC Machine and In Translation. Do think anyone would mind if I copy/paste Charlesdee's definitions and explanations? They are so much more entertaining that what I can think of myself.

Can you update the old WABAC and In translation banners for 2026?

I think that would be great and it's exactly what I would do. Thanks.
