bethefirstThe collection is live! I didn't think we could possibly beat last year's amazing record, but wow, we did! We have a total of forty-three stories this year — that's more than double the amount of fics this challenge had in its first year! Well done, everyone! *claps*
As usual, please do not check the fics out via the fandom list page on AO3. Only a couple of fandoms are listed there, due to AO3's wrangling policy, so most of the stories will not show up on said page. Instead, there's an alternative fandom list below.
