New Year's Resolutions through October 4
There are two weeks left if you're writing a catch-up NYR; the collection will close a little later than that for those (like me) who just really, really want to get another story in.
In the most recent two weeks, ten authors have posted to the New Year's Resolution collection. One fic also fills a Someday My Fic Will Come prompt.
