12 DAYS OF WHUMPMAS. December 25, 2024 to January 5, 2025.

Anyone up for a mini-challenge for the holiday season? It's during a busy time but I figured it might be a nice distraction from family shit and something fun to do if you're lucky enough to have time off. It's the perfect length, it's not too overwhelming but not a sprint either.

There's three prompts for each day, two words/phrases and one dialogue. You can pick and choose or use all three. You can make something in any media, any length, it's up to you. You win the challenge if you create something and get inspired for the new year. It's that simple!

You can use the tag #12DaysofWhumpmas to share your stuff!

NOTE: Whump-typical dark content under the cut. What is 'whump'?
