January 1, 2013 – February 1, 2014
It's that time of year again! I'm probably a little bit early, but better early that late. In light of the drama that transpired in blogland about The Story Siren situation (I'm not going to go any deeper than that), I am hosting an alternative to the current DAC challenge. Please note that this challenge was inspired by The Story Siren's DAC challenge. I did not like the genre limitations that were put on the "original" DAC challenge so I decided to open it up to ALL debut authors in ALL genre's.
