The Challenge: write 12 chapters/oneshots - one for each month of the year. Claim a character or pairing. No slash, and please try to keep it T or lower. Try to use either the prompt or the quote for each month. Due date - if you can, finish it by January 1, 2010.

The Prompts/Quotes:

January - new; “I’m used to being lonely. It’s the only thing I can rely on these days.”

February - heart; “I don’t want to be your whole life – just your favorite part.”

March - spring; “I didn’t say it was your fault.”

April - rabbits; “Yes, I’m short. Tell me something I don’t know.”

May - family; “And so begins my life as a nun.”

June - friends; “I have a redheaded temper and an ADD attention span.” July - fireworks; “If a week goes by and your friends are not completely confused or terrified by one of your actions, you’re not doing your job.”

August - beach; “No one is nicer than I am. There was once, but I took care of that.”

September - school; “It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.”

October - cat; “You know everything about me, so if we stop being friends I’ll have to kill you because so help me… you are taking it to the grave.”

November - food; “Can you imagine if I was deranged?”

December - lights; “Remember, as far as anyone else knows, we’re a nice, normal family.”

Have fun!

And here I go again, taking another challenge. But I really like this idea, so... I'm in.

As of now, I'm going to claim Draco.

Hmm, sounds good. (: Draco/Hermione, please.

Molly/Lorcan

Okay, I'm going to die from all these challenges I'm claiming, but I like this one too much to let it go and so I shall claim...

Ginny, and possibly it'll turn into a Ginny/Harry at random times. :)

-toffeecakesxox.

Hm... I can I do a non-HP claim?

If so, I claim Doumeki/Watanuki from xxxHolic (I read it two days ago and I'm hooked)

Can I claim and decide the pairing later?

NOTE: Apparently I forgot to mention this is any fandom. Also, if you can't decide on a character or pairing, that's okay too.

Ooh, this looks really good! I don't know if I can stick to just one character, though... is it okay if I do different ones? If not, I'll take Luna.

If you can keep it to two or three different ones, that's perfect.

I'd like to claim Ron/Hermione please!

I can't believe I'm taking ANOTHER challenge. Someone should kill me. :D

Actually, I changed my mind- I'll take Tonks/Lupin.

Claims edited!

Don't worry, mustardgirl - I have 15 challenges and no idea what I'm doing for half of them (and the ones I have ideas for are ridiculous). You are not alone on the total-overload front!

I'm going to claim Percy/Audrey, please :)

This won't be started until I've finished Love Is, so it might be a bit of a wait, but I will do it! I've wanted to for so long, and this challenge seems like a good place to start for me.

Percy/Penelope, s'il vous plait!

For the record, though, this is the third challenge I've signed up for tonight, so I might take a while to finish. Good idea, though

can i claim tonks/charlie?

First challenge I've signed up for in forever...

Can I claim Rose/Scorpius, please? =)

I'm claiming Draco/Harry. this is sooo.... gonna rock.

Claims edited...

Wow, I'm shocked at how many people are doing this.

Posted - A Year In The Life Of Luna Lovegood

This is actually fiendishly long. I'm sorry. =P I just didn't want all that text on the screen at once. Personally, I hate that.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4781050/1/A_Year_to_Return

I think I'm going to claim Draco/Lavender.

omg Another challenge im taking

Id like to claim Charlie/OC

Can I claim just Hermione? I might add a pairing with her later, but for now no.

Claims edited! Single character claims are more than welcome.

I'm claiming Ginny/Harry.

Great challenge btw.

Edited.

Could I claim Luna/Professor Sinistra please?

Don't ask about the pairing. I think I've gone absolutely crazy.

(:

Sorry, didn't read the no slash rule.

):

Would you mind awfully if I used your prompts anyways because I really like the challenge (but I wont actually enter)?

Could i please claim Hugo Weasley?

God... what am i getting myself into....

Hmm, I'm not sure what pairing I'll use as of yet - possibly Hermione/Severus, although I'm not 100% sure. Should have it up soon, though.

sunbeams - someone else didn't catch the no-slash rule and claimed anyways, and I added that, so I'm okay with slash claims. What I SHOULD have put in the rules is that slash is to be avoided if possible. If you want to do it, go ahead.

Yay! I may write a Katie/Ginny then. The prompts are perfect (:

Much love.

Ah... opps, didn't catch the "no slash" rule... er... well, here's my first chapter anyway (sorry)

Nan Gatsu?

The entire fic will probably be aimless for the year I'm writing it, but whatever. I'm just trying to get through some writer's block right now; we'll see how that goes, ne? (Nan Gatsu just means "what month")

Will you accept a claim on a pairing already taken? If so can I please claim Draco/Hermione. If not, can I claim Draco/Ginny? Really not my normal thing but we'll see how it goes. x

SOS - I already explained to someone else that what I meant was no slash IF POSSIBLE

Pride-Of-slytherin2 - double claims are totally okay.

Claims edited!

Mine's started.

Timeless Continuation

Would it be OK if I posted it another site to begin with - and then posted it up on FanFiction.Net -- because the uploaders not working for me at all on here at the moment. love the challenge.

Could I claim Pansy/Draco?? I've never done anything like this so I thought I would try something completely new...

I am stuck on my own stories, maybe something total different will help.

George and Katie please.

alwaysuptonogood - go ahead.

Alright *deep breath* I'm going to have a go at this with Lily/Scorpius, if that's alright?

Go ahead. I do not judge claims (most people on here don't).

I claim Severus/Harry! Although, I'm probably not going to post it until it's completely finished.

I really like the idea for this challenge.

I'd like to claim Draco/Ginny.

Does anyone mind if I first write it in Dutch and maybe after that I will translate it to English??

I wanna try it. I can't think of one single character so can I do maybe two or three characters?

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4972436/1/Remember_a_Year_in_the_Life_of_Friends

That's the first chapter.

I've got it now! The pairing is Luna/Harry. The story is mostly Luna but I might do a few of the chapters as a Harry chapter.

Claims edited.

Angel of Revenge - go ahead.
