I’ve been enjoying the early stages of the Spring Clean Challenge this year.  I’m trying to push myself a bit and do some things that I’ve not tried before.  I’m going to give my Goblin Hobbies stamp set a go for the first time on some shield emblems and even try my had at writing some supporting fiction.  The number of projects is slowly growing, currently 7 but it is still the first week.  On that topic:

Not planning on entering it into the project system for the Challenge as there are people far more skilled than I who will win any prizes

@pagan8th  You do you by all means.  For me though most of the point of being active here at OTT is to be part of the community and the more we all contribute the more we all benefit from seeing active hobby content. I’ll find and follow your project whether it is in the comp or not but it will be easier to find if it has the tag on it.  I’m not sure I enter the competitions here with any expectation of winning stuff.  I comment every week on the Weekender and haven’t won anything yet.  I’ve been in all bar one month of the PaintComp and haven’t won that either but I’ll keep entering because it is fun to be part of the collective and see what everyone comes up with each month.  The year RL totally overtook everything and I abandoned my SCC I got a runner up prize.  You can’t control what others will see in your hobby.  As you say, you are doing it for you not them.  I’m sure everyone here agrees with that.  We all still benefit from sharing with each other in the community and I’m certainly pleased to see a project of any sort if it is in an area of interest.
