February Challenge: 40 FICS!
From Chanchito:
I am abusing my mod-dom to appropriate this month's
foxriver_ficchallenge. I’m having a birthday in February that I would love to repress celebrate with PB fic! I will not confess what milestone that birthday is, only that I am calling this the 40 Fics challenge for a reason. {{groan}}
Here’s the challenge!
Write a fic with these pairings and prompts.
Any fic is good! Angst, humor, fluff, dark!fic, drama, pwp, crack!fic, AU, poetry, epic novels, drabbles, ficlets, etc. Any size, any kind.
Yes, it seems easy. But wait! This is a 40 Fics Challenge - that means we need to generate 40 fics by the end of the month. 40!!
But there is incentive!
There will be a random drawing for a Prison Break Goodie Bag complete with “PB: The Classified FBI Files” and PB deck of cards.
Write fic, get a chance at the prize. The pairings are divided by levels, so the “more difficult” fic you write, the more times your name goes in for the drawing. Write multiple fics, get more chances!
Don't write? You can still play!
Take the pairs and prompts and generate plot bunnies. Post them and get your name in the drawing. If someone writes a fic with your bunny, get your name in the drawing again!
Do artwork? Use the pairs and prompts to create something, post it, and get your name in the drawing. We'll call that a "visual bunny" and if someone writes a fic about it, get your name in again!
The prize winner will be drawn after March 1.
(only brand new fic and bunnies qualify)

*Aren't sure if your fic qualifies for one of the categories? The answer is "YES! It does!" Rules are crap and fic is fun. You write, you're in the drawing. Seriously! Did you get a bunny from this challenge? Then your fic qualifies. Do you have a story on the backburner that might satisfy a category? Pull it out and finish it - it qualifies. Still not sure? I am. It qualifies. Post a link and you're in the drawing. No probs!
THE PROMPTS:
Pick a number between 1 and 40 then scroll down to see what your prompt is. Don't like it? Pick another. Don't like any? Don't use one. They're here for inspiration only.
There's no exclusivity to these, everyone can share the same prompts, and there's no obligation to stick to yours. Have fun!

How to post your fic!
Normally, we just post links to a challenge in the challenge post, but since this one has so many questions, to make it easier for readers to find your fic, I have a separate post for story links to be posted
here. If we're lucky enough to get lots of fics, I'll round them up, repost and you can link there, too. Bunnies, as always, can just be posted in “Plot Bunny” posts. That will make it easier for writers to find them!
Need a bunny? Post with your pairs /prompts and ask com members for ideas.
Go forth, write fic, and save Chanchito from the dreaded 40!
And feel free to cross post this challenge!
