So - to celebrate I am throwing out a challenge. This is to everybody- whether you write in the IF or not. If you have a Gatchgal or would like to be part of the universe - you are welcome to participate. The challenge is simple: Write your OC's first meeting with Mark and Thunderbird. It can be funny, dramatic, or a complete and utter disaster (for whom is up to you!) Post your efforts as a Gatchamania sidebar. The challenge runs from now until the end of March, and your offering can be written or a picture. Have fun!

Still a brilliant idea, Maddy, to celebrate the IF's first anniversary!

Hmmmm.... looks like the whole post didn't actually post!! Oh well - the important bit about the challenge is there!
