dracoharry100Happy Ho-Ho Holiday everyone! It's time once again for our annual Christmas Challenge.
As in prior years, we will suspend our weekly challenges (the current one concludes tomorrow, Sunday, November 30) until the New Year in order to host our traditional drabble/ficlet/art Christmas challenge. And, as always, the prompts are a mix of words, phrases, and themes.
The table below contains thirty-one prompts. Your challenge is to write a drabble or ficlet or draw one picture for each prompt, and post one a day, starting Monday December 1.
If posting daily sounds too intimidating, you can take part in the second challenge, which is to write a fic or draw one pic incorporating all 31 prompts.
Or do both! Or do some other combination that includes all 31. And for those of you who like to take on multiple challenges, feel free to combine our prompts with the ones posted at other prompt communities.
There's no pressure to play, though. If you want to continue to post once in a while, or only have time to do so, then take your pick of the prompts below to work with (more than one is fine too); we want everyone to have fun!
The word limit, as in previous years, is suspended (no minimum or maximum word count), so you don't have to keep to 100 words unless you really want to. The prompts need not be used in any particular order, and there's no need to state a team affiliation. Or, of course, you may draw art instead. We love art! Everyone loves art!
Any posts you make need to be tagged with christmas challenge 25.
And so, without further ado, here are this year’s prompts:
All clear?
I will post the 2025 wrap up post for the weekly team competition tomorrow, and then we can get started!
Happy creating!
