36K sounds awesomely long :D I don't do challenges with deadlines, mainly because the minute someone slaps a time frame on it, my brain shuts down and my muses flee for the hills.

Normally I have the same opinion of challenges, but the Trek one was too tempting and I needed something to distract me from real life. It worked a little too well.

I think plot bunnies must actually be some sort of carnivore.
