Hey guys!

Now, before I go on with what I have to say, I have an announcement…

It has been ONE YEAR EXACTLY since my obsession with SWAC began! WHOOT! *has a little party*

Anyways… because it has been ONE YEAR EXACTLY, I thought I would finally post my very first challenge! And, I thought I'd make it themed to the whole ONE YEAR EXACTLY thing…

So… your challenge for this is to make a story based on the theme "ONE YEAR EXACTLY"… See what I did there? Ha, Marshall moment…

So, here are the rules…

- Must be based on that theme above, if you missed it, the theme is One Year Exactly :)

- Must be SWAC, as this is a SWAC contest, but it can be a crossover. PM me if you want to do a crossover, and tell me what you want to cross it over with. I'll tell you whether you can do it or not.

- Must involve Channy, but can involve any other SWAC couple if you want (Tawnico, Meldy, Chawni, Sonnico, etc…)

- It can be any genre, except Horror – I'm not a scary story person, so sorry.

- It can be any rating between K and T – NO M's, because this is a kid's show you're writing about, people!

- Can either be a one-shot/two-shot or a multi-chap, but if it's a multi-chap, try and get it finished for the closing date, so it'll make it easier for me to judge.

- You can sign up any time between today (10th September 2011) to 10th October 2011.

- All entries must be on FanFiction by the closing date – 10th November 2011 – which, according to my profile, will be my first anniversary of being a member on FanFiction! :D I will post the results on 17th November 2011, so it gives me time to think about it.

- When you post your entry, put "for MusicChannySkyscraper's One Year Exactly Challenge" in the summary and PM me that your entry is up.

I suck at prizes, but here they are!

1st prize – Favourite author, a review on every chapter of whichever of your stories you want, and I will write you a one-shot dedicated to you! I will also dedicate a chapter of one of my most popular stories, either Living with My Sonshine or Quite The Opposite, to you!

2nd prize – Favourite author, a review on every chapter of whichever of your stories you want, and I will dedicate a chapter of either Living with My Sonshine or Quite The Opposite to you!

3rd prize – Favourite author, and a chapter of Living with My Sonshine or Quite The Opposite dedicated to you!

Every entry will get a mention in the final chapter of Living with My Sonshine, which is soon to come!

Any questions, please review or PM me. Please either review or PM to tell me that you are taking part in the challenge, and I'll check it out when you post it!

And just a quick hint. If there's one thing I wanna see in the entries, it's creativity. This will be a big thing I will be noticing. Since the theme is "One Year Exactly", you can do anything you want with that. It could be your own re-write of Sonny's first year at So Random, or it could be Sonny and Chad's first anniversary… but I'm hoping you can be a little more creative than that. Go for something that no-one else will think of writing about… that'll get you more points!

I will not take too much interest in how many reviews your entry has… but I will want to check out what people have said about your story in their reviews. When I take reviews into consideration when choosing the winners, it will not be the quantity of the reviews but the quality of the reviews.

Remember to PM me if you have any questions. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
