@ashley you should totally read more of sanderson's books!! they're so good! skyward and starsight are my favorite.
Natalie, so I had a question. My book is kind of told by the villain's perspective, but it's exploring what would have happened if the villain (Vlad the Impaler) was a girl. Does that count?

No problem! We are currently doing a poll to find out what is gonna happen with this challenge for the future, so we might end up doing it every other month depending on the results.
For signups I will open a new thread in this folder for that specific month, and you would just post that you want to sign up.
