Greetings and salutations Nine Lives family, Caryl and McReedus fans everywhere! We've got a couple of crazy things to throw at you over the next few days: the team lineup for the Team Write Holiday Challenge, the 2nd event in our Holiday Shenanigans series, an ode to our Round Robin, and so much more! Today, it's time to kick things off with the lineup for our Team Write Holiday Challenge!

Without further delay, here is the list of teams for our Team Write Holiday Challenge! (Note: Not all teams have picked a team name yet, so those teams are numbered until further notice.)

Team Sugar Plum Fairies: Illusianation, Liddym2113, meeshie

Team SweetNotLamptron: sweettooth7, Not Laura, Lamport, Stephtron312

Team 3: halohunter89, Haitus80

Team 4: lovesdaryl, bedlinens 

Team 5: Argent Gale, heyansky99

Team 6: krissyg927, DaisyG80

Team 7: mikymowse, ChristiLynne

We are so excited to see what our brave challengers cook up! All teams have been sent their official info PM from FM, with all the details of when and how to post their stories. Its now up to each of our teams to get together, plot & start writing the best holiday/winter-themed Caryl story they can.

Here's how the timeline of events for this is going to work, since we're doing things different this time. Instead of having a single Posting Day like we have in challenges past, our challengers have from December 1 - December 18 to post their story. They don't have to start posting on December 1, but their story has to be completed and published in its entirety by December 18.

That's it for this one! Everyone show our challengers some love. Good luck to all of our valiant teams! Stay tuned, everyone, because we have so much more headed your way! 

Stay cool & Caryl on, my ducklings!

-FM
