Judging of your entries will get under way soon, and I'll be announcing the winners in next Friday's post. I could still use a few more judges if anyone is interested - judges will be eligible to win the prizes (I've worked out a little trickery to make sure of that *grins*). We'll be letting people know if they're on the shortlist as the week goes by.
A couple of things to bring to your attention:
The Crusader Group List has been finalized, so have a squiz at your final groups if you haven't already. And now that admin is over, check out my earlier post, which includes my thoughts on where to from here for Crusaders.
I've started making Crusader announcements at the top of my blog, so make sure you pop back to check here and there for any new ones. If you're holding a blogfest, let me know and I'll pop it on Rach Writes... so everyone knows about it.
We've set up a Yahoo Group for Crusaders to meet and chat, just click on the link and join the group. And there's some great Crusader chatting on Twitter, at #amcrusading.
Otherwise, keep on having fun and getting to know your fellow Crusaders!!!

Thanks Rachael. It was a great start to the Crusade.
Thank you for all of your hard work, Rachael!
Great! I'll reveal my lie. I've already added a page at the top of my blog with my three (you read that right) groups with links to all of them. That way, I'll be able to hop around easily. BTW the page isn't my idea. I saw it on someone's blog. Darned if I can remember who now. ; )
Woot- the first challenge was a blast- Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Can I just say, holy heck, I only just finished following every single Crusade blog except the very few who didn't have an RSS feed OR follow option. And I've even organised Google Reader, finally. Big job.
But I'm now feeling VERY virtuous.
Time for a little break now I think!
This was a fabulous idea. I've met so many nice people that I'm satisfied just networking with the ones that I've found on a regular basis.
I'm not participating but I am reading the challenges. Must say I had a hard time finding the lies of the bloggers I know well.
Wow, I can't believe how organized you are:) I'll be sure to participate next year!
This was my first crusade challenge. What a blast! Thanks for all your hard work.
We can never say "thank you enough" - or "thanks a lot, what the hell have I gotten myself into!" :p
I've read more blogs in the last 14 days than ever before. I do thank you so much for introducing me to such wonderful writers! *throws confetti*
You Rock, Rach :) Oh, and I might be a little behind, but what is the shortlist?
It has been fun reading all the challenge entries - and really difficult to pick out the lie in some cases! Thanks again a gazillion times for organising it all. And congrats on reaching FIVE HUNDRED followers!
(I didn't already congratulate you on that, did I? I'm sure I would have remembered... but then again....memory problems!)
It was indeed a great start, though I admit I couldn't bring myself to read all of them. Talk about buuuurnout! hehe
Looks like I missed this one - hope to be apart of the next. :D
That was a great first challenge - so much fun. Thanks Rachael!

Yes, I was a failypants and did not make the first Challenge! :( Ah well...but I do have a blogfest coming up: my race to 200 Blog Contest with rizes galore! Link here:

Thanks for all your awesome work you did on our behalf!
Thanks for all you do, Rachael!
Thank you so much for all the hard work, Rachael & judges! The level of participation in this first challenge was awesome!
I have now finished following everyone and also created a page on my blog for my 4 groups. Woot!!!! I'm so pleased to meet new friends and looking forward to getting to know my fellow group members! Hugs to all! :)
This first challenge was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see what you'll have us doing for the next challenge. :)
Wow, this is super cool!!
Just wanted to say I'm co-hosting a blogfest with Tessa Conte on the Nature of Magic, in case anyone is interested. Thanks! :)
I am catching on this Crusade thing. I am diving in on the third round!
Yes i've read some impressive entries too. Great fun! :O)
Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for all of your hard work, Rachael--you are awesome!! :-)
