New challenge is on its way.

Our new challenge is our twenty-second:

AMNESTY

During amnesty challenges, you can post works for any of the challenges we've had to date:

The Lost Hour, Triangle, Anywhere But Here, Stages, Five Things, Do-Over, Genre, Drag, Communication, Self-Portrait, Breakfast, Performance Anxiety, Double, Role Reversal, Win or Lose, Old Friends, Mythology, Wire, Cliché, Secrets, Borrowed Title, School, Ghosts and Gore, Warmth, Interruptions, Solitary, Apology, Season, Masks, Elusive or Ephemeral, Introductions, Diamonds and Pearls, The Other Side, Purgatory, Horoscope, Candles, Not What It Looks Like, Games, Comfort, Teaching, Technology, Dangling, Kids, Silver Lining, Stuck, Spicy, Bruise, Entertaining, Backward, Photo, Washing, Transformation, Trapped, Red, Teamwork, Z, Weather, Seven, Resolutions, History, Lost and Found, Telephone, Rough, Question, Revision, Jewelry, Element, Shinies, Flight, Fight, Drugs, Monsters, Health and Fitness, Hot Water, Family, Doorway, Puzzles, Enemies, Footwear, Exploration, Music, Sweet & Sour, Haunted, Choices, Mirror, Disaster, Contraband, Kindness, Sea Life, Burn, Fast-Forward, Fancy, Arithmetic, Stripes, Locked, Chemistry, Unidentified Object, Refusal, Wager, Punch, Midnight, Dancing, Flavor, United, Scales, The End of the World, Sleepless, Floating, Identity, Cake, Cheating, Date, Dirty

Of course, you're always welcome to post multiple works to any challenge if you finish them before the challenge closes, but that isn't always possible. So dust off those unfinished works and half-formed ideas -- now is the time!

In amnesty rounds, please include the challenge you are posting for in the subject line of your post (eg, Communication Challenge: Legend of Korra: Icons: Spirits).

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Sunday, November 1st. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom, media and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.
