Mahi | 93 comments I'm doing this challenge for the first time! I was originally planning to do the regular prompts only, but the advanced prompts are so on brand for 2020 that I can't pass them up. So I'm just going to do at least 40 of the 50 prompts total and not worry about their sections. It would be great if I can do all 50 prompts though!

Edit (1/9/20): I've also decided that I won't let myself include rereads in the challenge, because I'm rereading Harry Potter this year and it feels like cheating to use them.

Edit (1/19/20): Because I’m including short stories and novellas in the challenge now, if I complete it this year, my challenge 2.0 will be to replace those with full length novels.
