January 2026: 10 out of 20

[prisca]

to all of you.
And we have reached the year 2026 with hopefully more prompts, works, and lots of fun around here.

Let's start with our first challenge:
10 out of 20

Under the cut, you will find a list with 20 prompts. Your mission is to grab at least 10 of them and create a little something for it. Keep in mind, even if it is not the meaning of the challenge, no one will punish you when you only grab one or two prompts. Every work is welcome.

To complete the challenge, you can create up to ten single works, or combine one or more prompts in one work.

Allowed are fics up to 500 words, small poems, icons (100x100 px), and small graphics up to 500 px width x height. Please stay to the maximum, even if you use more than one prompt in your work.

All fandoms, genres, and ratings are welcome, as are original works and real-person works.

When posting directly to sweetandshort, please use a header of your choice and put bigger works under a cut. You can also post your work elsewhere, but please leave a header and a link here to keep the community running.

When posting your works, please use any appropriate tag. When a tag is missing, use 'tag needed'.

This challenge runs until January 31, midnight in your timezone.
