Hello, everyone! I’ve been a long time watcher, but never really participated much in the community. I’m typically a lurker, so I probably won’t be contributing too often, but I’m looking forward to checking it out :-) Oh, and I’m thinking of trying a watch challenge. If y’all have any recommendations, I might give one a shot!
Welcome!
I’m doing 5 watch challenges. 2 really easy ones are the PTW Watch challenge and the 52 Week Watch Challenge. Basically anything listed on MDL that you watch for the first time in 2026 counts for the PTW challenge, and anything you finish in 2026, even rewatches, count for the 52 week challenge. Both mostly help keep further track of what you’ve watched this year, but they have some side challenges that could help motivate you to watch more than your usual fare.
I’m also doing the Alphabet Challenge which is mostly easy if you watch a lot, but does require some effort to fill all the letters.
Finally, since you’re here, you like BL. This is my second year doing the BL Watch Challenge. For this you have to watch shows that fulfill different requirements from genre to ratings to dates to tags to poster art. I watch tons of BLs so I was mostly able to complete it easily last year, but it did get me to watch some stuff I never would have otherwise, and I ended up watching some great shows. Plus you can always use other people’s challenges for recommendations.
theoretically I am also doing the GL Watch Challenge. This is a new challenge and I don’t know if there are enough GLs I want to watch to end up completing it, but I’ll fill it in as I go and see if I make decent progress.
Most people get really into producing cool graphics and links for their challenges but I’m still learning how to do that.
Anyway, good luck!
