I think going in chronological order might be nice going forward. I’m not watching the series with anyone (my partner can’t stand 90s alien makeup; she loathes Quark and calls Odo “burn victim guy” *cries*), but it’d be nice to use this as a DS9 rewatch for myself. I think it might help me watch episodes I’m less interested in too since it’ll be in context of a rewatch versus a randomly selected episode that I’m not that into. It would also allow me to plan ahead if I know I’ll be missing a week for whatever reason.
I like the idea of writing challenges! What popped to mind for me is perhaps every so often (maybe every two months?) there would be a week without a new episode and we could use that opportunity to write a drabble or small fic for one of the episodes watched during the previous period. And/or maybe an episode bingo where we could get bingo cards of episodes and write fills that way. I’m not sure what ideas you had, but I didn’t want to make things more difficult for you, so I was trying to think of relatively low maintenance ideas.
However, I would like to note that I just started a new job that is turning out to be quite a large adjustment, so my fandom participation will possibly be sporadic for a bit. My work schedule is in two week blocks, and for some reason my manager thought it’d be great to have me work 7 days for the first week and 3 for the second, so I’ll be relatively out of pocket every other week then have a decent amount of time the other weeks. But I did enjoy discussing the episodes with you when the challenge started, so I’m hoping I can get back into it again!
