I originally wasn't planning on participating in the Challenge Month, but this particular challenge caught my eye, and here we are, only a little *cough* late to the party. To be honest, I don't know if it even counts as participation, 'cause there's no way in hell I'll get the whole thing written before the end of October, but I'm glad to have been inspired nonetheless. :)
