Summary:
Higgins squared his shoulders and assumed an attitude of wounded dignity. “I object to your insolence. I am perfectly capable of looking after myself.”
“Well, prove it, then.”
“All right.” He folded his arms together. “Tomorrow morning, I shall take a cab to the most wretched, godforsaken region of the East End and attempt to survive there using nothing but my own wit and ingenuity.”
In which Henry Higgins gets his own Pygmalion, of a sort.
The New Year's Resolutions challenge/activity is part of Yuletide. Each year after a round of Yuletide ends, a new NYR collection is set up. This collection is for new works based on past Yuletide prompts.
Anyone can look at past Yuletide prompts and submit a work - you don't need to have participated in Yuletide before. Gifts must respect their recipients' Do-Not-Wants. However, if you're writing a NYR story because you are required to before you can sign up to Yuletide again, there are additional rules.
NB: When posting a work to the New Year's Resolutions 2023 collection, the collection name may not come up in the drop-down menu, even though 'nyr2023' will work when entered into the field. You can ensure the collection is incorporated automatically by going to the collection and clicking 'Post to Collection' at top right.

Prompts
2022's prompts are available on AO3, in a downloadable text file, in a google spreadsheet, and in an app. Prompts from pinch hitters who weren't signed up can be found here on the admin DW community. For older prompts, try looking at the dashboards of previous NYR collections, such as New Year's Resolutions 2022.
Someday My Fic Will Come
This is an additional mini-challenge, begun by swan_tower. Are there fandoms you just keep asking for, and never get? If you have requested the same thing in at least 3 Yuletides, and you haven't been given it yet, record your prompt at the DW post or LJ post, and also add it to the spreadsheet linked at those posts! Or, look for a long-lingering prompt that you can fulfil.
