OMG, it's a Challenge for February
I guess the January challenge went over like a lead balloon ^_~ I can't say it was that surprising, since I came up with it rather on the fly. I do also want to apologize for being so late in posting next month's challenge. I hope I can make it up to you all next month.
In any case, for this coming month I want to use our community to support another community that I believe is doing a lot of great things. While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure. For those who don't know, Yuletide is a massive obscure fandom fanfiction challenge which runs every Christmas, where people write fanfiction for each other in a Secret Santa exchange type of way.
Yuletide's Christmas exchange is quite well-known, but until I participated this year, I didn't know about the New Year's Resolution challenge that runs through the whole year. In this challenge, you can choose one of the Christmas requests that wasn't filled, and write it, and submit it to the archive.
February's challenge in![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
obscurefandom will be to participate in the New Year's Resolution challenge. Go through the list of prompts, choose one, and upload it both to the Yuletide archive and the community here.
One last thing: The list of acceptable fandoms in Yuletide of course differs from ours. Rather than forcing everyone to request the fandom they want here and try to harmonize our list with the much longer Yuletide list, I'm going to say that you can write any story in the list of prompts, without that fandom being on our list. After February, I will add any fandoms written for to our list of acceptable fandoms, but I don't want to hold anyone up by forcing people to request the fandom in advance.
If you have any questions, please post them here ^_^
