With November now underway, it means that my the 5 Obstructions blogathon, which took 5 months has come to a close. I have to say that I am very happy with the amount of people who have joined. As expected with such a gruelling and challenging blogathon not all participants have me it through all 5 obstructions, but a nice amount did. I want to thank everyone who participated in this blogathon in making this a success. I appreciated you taking on the challenge and sticking with it, it has resulted in a lot of interesting articles and I hope you have picked up some new ideas to make your own blog even better.
I am happy to announce that I am already working on my next blogathon (which will probably kick off either in december or january) together with KaramelKinema.
If you are looking for another blogathon to jump into, you can as Mettel Ray has just announced her blogathon on Friday and it will start tomorrow. You can find details about it here.
If you participated I would like to know what your experiences was like with this blogathon and things which you think might be improved during a next blogathon (so I can make the experience even better)?
For those wanting to check out all the articles which have been written, you can find those after the jump.

All I can say is that it has been fun and challenging. I think I’ve become a better and more interesting writer due to this and I really thank you for creating that blog-a-thon. Let’s never do it again.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it too. Very happy to hear it helped you in becoming a better writer, glad this has pushed you a bit. 🙂
You x’d me out for the last obstruction even though I participated (and you commented on my post)!

🙁
And yes, this was challenging and a blast!
Sorry Andrew! Have just updated it! Thanks again for joining!
Awesome! Thanks 🙂
It’s been such a blast nostra! thanks for creating the 5 obstruction blogathon 😀
Thank you for particpating, a blogathon wouldn’t be anything without people joining in!
Well your blogathon triggered some new ideas for sure, thanks for having them. Interesting to see your next blogathon with Karamel Kinema 🙂
That was the point of the blogathon Andina. Happy you joined. Yeah, the next blogathon will be a fun one and we are working out the details now.
Great job, Nostra! I’m surprised that only eight of us finished. It was a lot of fun and pushed me into some new directions.
Nine 😉
Of course it would have been cool if more people would have finished, but it was a long and challenging one, so I can understand why not everyone did each and every obstruction.
I loved that it was spread over months and the topics presented unique challenges.
Yeah, it was a different approach which I hadn’t seen done before. Happy to hear you enjoyed the challenges.
