Having never finished a chow here, my view counts for crap all, however, I totally second Patrick's view. If youu mixed up the topics each time you might get a more consistent overall participation. That way people who want to practice things other than just character after character, will get a chance, and can be pushed out of their comfort zones.
Saves you having to have multiple threads on the go as well like on CA (CHOW, COW, EOW, IOW etc) that would probably need multiple moderators.
The reason the ChoW died a bit I think was that over the holidays there was a large gap in challenges, so people wandered off onto other things. Keep the model simple. Keep it manageable. Help people engage with it as easy as possible. For all its faults the facebook challenges like brainstorm are simple and consistent, though I think they have become exceedingly boring: Redesign "insert beaten to death IP here".
