January 2023 Challenge: Jubilee

[grundyscribbling]

Every January, we kick off the year with a challenge to nudge us to recommit to our creative lives by creating a fanwork for one of the previous year's challenges. Whether finishing that epic novel for the challenge that ran away or making a sketch or writing a drabble, the idea is to make something fannish during the month of January with one of our challenges as inspiration!

This year we are doing something slightly different. This January, any challenge from January 2017 onward is fair game. Is there a challenge from before your time you think would have been fun? Do it now! Did you start a fanwork for a challenge long ago but never completed it? We hope this gives you motivation to finish! If you have no unrealized or unfinished projects (congratulations, we are in awe), choose from any of the past challenges—just pick a prompt you haven’t done before. And if you’re utterly exhausted after the past year and/or the holiday season but ready to go on a reading binge or appreciate some art, this challenge includes commenting stamps!

You will receive a stamp on your prior collection(s) for any challenges you complete or comment on now, as well as a stamp for the Jubilee challenge on your 2023 collection. (Please note that we will not be making new stamps for previous challenges—you can receive any existing stamp.) When you post to the SWG archive, please make sure you select the prior challenge you're completing and the Jubilee challenge.

In order to receive a stamp for your fanwork, your response must be posted to the archive on or before 15 February 2023. For complete challenge guidelines, see the Challenges page on our website.
