I'll be throwing out fandom/character challenges to the sngle fandoms lists hopefully sometime this week, maybe over the month. I'll bundle them and send them to the multi-fandom lists in bundles of 10-12 fandoms You can find these challenges as I come up with them on the
news secton of the archive: http://www.squidge.org/peja/cgi-bin/news.php
The AdoptAPlotBunny list: http://lists.squidge.org/wws/info/adoptaplotbunny
The AdoptAPlotBunny LJ: http://community.livejournal.com/adoptaplotbunny

Remember, the challenges are just a jumping off point. No need to be to focused on the holiday,  although that could be good too, but I encourage you to use them to brainstorm something vague, or go for the jugular, its all up to you. These challenges will be added to the challenge page http://www.squidge.org/peja/cgi-bin/challenges.php for use at any time
