Feel free to comment here if you have any questions. I still need to update the Rules/Guidelines/FAQ to reflect the Monthly Challenges, but if anyone thinks of something please don't hesitate to ask!

Check out below for more information about the Monthly Challenges if you have any questions:

Now for how this is going to work, you'll receive 10 points for using the "pairing" prompt and/or "character" prompt on TOP of the normal bi-weekly prompts. If you just write one or the other, you'll receive just 10 points, but if you do both that's 20 points on top of the normal 10 points per drabble.

The monthly Challenges will last from the 1st to the last day of the month at 11:59PM EST.
Please also be aware of the current "bi-weekly" prompt.
What if you don't like the pairing or character? You don't have to write them! They are just suggestions and a way for to see more mixture of characters/pairings. But if you want to try your hand at them, that's perfectly fine too! Encouraged even! Same thing goes if you write a poly ship, as long as two of the characters that are part of the "pairing" prompt appear, that's acceptable.

What if the work reads as more gen than a "pairing"? That's fine! That's kinda why I put the "&" instead of the "/" on the prompts themselves, so long as both characters show up in the work it would count! Also as long as you tag and/or mention that your drabble(s) fit the monthly challenge so I know to count them.

What if the character is more background/side character? Again perfectly fine and that would be acceptable, as long as you tag and/or mention that your drabble(s) fit the monthly challenge so I know to count them. 

Do I have to use the universe the picture presents? As always NO - Always use whatever universe you want to or some sort of amalgamation of canons you want to use. Most of these "pairings" won't be canon, more than likely, they will be two characters in the same frame.

When & How do we receive the monthly challenge banners? You'll receive the banners when I put the new Monthly Challenge next month, just like if I would be posting for the bi-weekly prompt. This time, however, anyone who participated in the Monthly Challenges will receive the banner.

i am just realizing i have probably read these rules wrong; if i'm reading this correctly the monthly challenge is always supposed to go on top of/with the currently active biweekly prompt, and one can't simply write a fill with just the monthly prompt? if it is like this then i have done it wrong in the past, my apologies, but i'll keep it in mind from now on!

You are correct, and no worries! Honestly I'm just happy for anything to be written, - so maybe I should change the rules to allow the write a fill with just the monthly prompt?

The biweekly can be interpreted as loosely as you want it to be, so hopefully that makes it easier?

i think it would be fine to allow it, but it would also be very fine if you don't want to allow it, i don't mind either way...! i tried to read the rules thoroughly but i just misunderstood this part it seems so i wanted to ask and make sure :P whatever you decide i'll follow it; the biweekly prompts are always fun so following them is not a hassle or anything.
