It's February, which means we're getting close to Valentine's Day. So, spin up your best friendship speeches and break out the chocolate, it's time for the pink and fluffy Flash Challenge...
You're welcome to play the love straight, but the more cynical of you might want to twist this and make it funny or dark...

Visual and written works (artwork, stories, articles)
Most works will be submitted via the Creative Corner in the usual manner. In order to mark your entry as a Flash Challenge entry, you should put the hashtag #flashchallenge in your work. In order for it to be searchable, you should place the hashtag in the summary of a written work (in other words, not the work itself), or the description of a visual work. It's also helpful to post a link to the work in the comments for this article.
Trainer Cards
To submit trainer cards, just link to them in the comments for this article. If you're not sure how to do this, there is a guide here.
And finally, an apology - the Flash Challenges kinda disappeared due to a whole bunch of real life hitting me at once towards the end of last year. In order to keep the challenges going clearly, I'll be updating them on a fixed schedule now - each challenge will run for approximately two weeks. So, as mentioned above, I'll be ending this challenge and posting a new one on February 15th.
As always, best of luck!
