Optional Secondary Objective: Anonymous Challenge -- Alright, we haven't had one of these in forever, but it used to be an annual staple of the CWC threads. Remember this is *optional* and you do not have to do this if you do not want. But if you do want in, instead of posting your story in the thread, send it to me via PM. I will standardize the formatting and post the entries, and then we can see if we can guess who wrote what!
On the Sunday during the challenge period, we have a regular writing hangout in the Discord server. Pretend to work on your alleged entry with a whole group!
