First off, the usual PSA... please please please, if you're paired with someone who is MIA (missing in action - hasn't posted in several days... or WEEKS!), or who does not issue you a challenge by Tuesday night, do NOT suffer in silence...
even if you're cool with sitting the week out without a challenge, if i don't know about it, they will be paired up with someone the following week who may end up being frustrated and disappointed...
so please - let me know if you're partner is MIA...
*********************************************************************************
on another note, please let me know asap if i've messed something up (left you on the list when you should be off or left you off when you asked to be one)... the sooner you let me know the easier it is to straighten things out and make sure everyone who wants to play is partnered up...
tx! and now back to your regularly scheduled programming...
-- Saturday / Sunday, August 31st and September 1st - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday September 2nd thru Sunday September 8th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-59, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, September 9th - the winner of week 58 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
as noted above, IF YOU ARE PAIRED UP WITH SOMEONE WHO IS MIA:
(hasn't posted in a couple weeks or does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), then:
(1) please let me know by responding to this thread... AND
(2) PLEASE TAG THE PERSON IN YOUR RESPONSE... this does 2 things... (1) it gives a little nudge to your partner and (2) it helps me because then i don't have to search thru my spreadsheet to see who you are partnered with before going to my master list spreadsheet to note that they are MIA :)
IF YOU NEED TO BOW OUT AFTER THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED please let me know in this thread AND please tag your partner... that way they know not to peruse your album, and if someone else pops up looking for a partner before i have a chance to check in, they will be able to sort things out themselves :)

How to play:
TO ISSUE A CHALLENGE
1. Find your partner from the list below and click on their name to get to their profile
2. Browse through the last couple of months of photos to get a feel for what they shoot and don't shoot etc.
3. Post an introduction on their last photo, and also issue the challenge you are setting.
RESPOND TO A CHALLENGE
4. You have until midnight next Sunday, to take and post your shot or shots.
5. When posting your shot write a short description about who challenged you, what the challenge was, what you found hard about it etc. You really should do this because if nothing else, it helps the previous week's winner when they have to choose this week's finalists... besides, if someone is cruising the photos with a "get pushed" tag, they like to see what the challenge was when looking at your photo :)
6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-59
7. Tag your challenger in a COMMENT (not just your write-up). You MUST tag your partner in a separate comment... tagging them in your write-up of your photo is not sufficient as it will not result in them getting a notification...
ALSO
8. it is nice to visit the photo that was made in response to your challenge and offer some comments and maybe even some constructive criticism...
9. On the Monday after the challenge is over, the winner of the previous week will pick 5 finalists for a vote, this can be based purely on their fav photos, who they felt best met the challenge etc, etc.
Hi northy, can you take me off the challenge list indefinitely? I am due with my baby any day now and don't want to worry about letting someone down. Thanks! @northy
@northy
Sorry for the neglect for the past few weeks, wifi has been glitchy, you would think that having a husband who installs the lines would keep us up and running, not the case this time. I would appreciate it if you would add me back on the list next week. Thank you.
@degarvey ugh... very frustrating for you! yes - of course i'll add you back in... do you want to play this week if someone else comes along looking for a partner?
@northy Hi Northy- It looks like my get pushed partner is mia for the past couple of weeks. @tammeray I'm fine to sit out this week unless you have an extra.
@northy hi there,
After issuing a challenge My partner http://365project.org/glendq still hasn't made contact or issued a challenge x think they are MIA dont worry about finding me another partner this week, leave it until next week, just thought I'd let you know for the next pairings xxx
