Christmas 2003

This year's Christmas Challenge was in two parts.

Part one: We asked past featured authors and artists to give us a scene or a picture that they would like fanart or fanfic for. They did!

Part two: We asked armchairers to sign up for their favorites and put their drawing/writing talents to use. They did!
