NEW CHALLENGE!
Hello everyone, it's time for a new challenge! Announcing the Second Chance Challenge 2, with bonus prompts!

For those who don't know, the Second Chance Challenge is an opportunity for writers to tackle a past challenge theme. It's an amnesty for anyone who may have started a fic in the past and did not finish, or for anyone who just wants to write for a past theme.

I'm also going to throw in a few bonus prompts from

qaf_prompts for anyone who wants something brand new!

And I'm going to open this one up to the vidders and graphics makers again. You may submit vids, icons, headers or wallpapers for any of the themes or prompts!

Our past challenges are available to view in the memories HERE.
These are the themes available to use in this challenge.

What if...
Weather/Vacation
Justin
In Cars
Hurt/Comfort
Dare
Friends and Lovers
Christmas/New Year
Icon Challenge (fic inspired by the scenes in THESE icons)
Icon Challenge with a twist (fic inspired by THESE images, but not from the scene in which they're taken)
Challenge in Two Parts - fic inspired by headers. (Just use the existing headers, do not make new ones to inspire fic) Here's the HEADERS.
Small Things Made Large - fic inspired by drabbles. (Just use the existing drabbles, do not submit new drabbles to inspire fic.) Here's the DRABBLES.

And five bonus prompts!

It seemed like a good idea at the time
Rage and JT
Britin (the house)
Opening line prompt: "Brian Kinney, I'd like you to meet Justin Taylor."
At work/at the office

There's a brainstorm post HERE!

Sign-ups are open for 10 days, until January 12 and fics are due on February 6.

If you have any questions or you'd like to sign up, please leave a comment. You don't have to specify which theme you're writing for yet.

Thanks!
