The Contest Challenge

Uh, well, so the short contests like this aren't supposed to count for regular-length month contest months like March and April, but this is what I get for not being around. Okay, so while March and April 2023 do have nothing open, so you can choose alternate contests, I need you to choose regular-length contests.

But, in the 1st year of the challenge, there were a lot of learning points, to include that I couldn't mix short and regular-length contests. Now, it didn't take me TOO long to figure this out, but I'll pretend it took me longer than it really did. I'll give you credit for July and December 2017 because both of those months have nothing open and it's my first year, so I did a lot of ridiculous things. So, your entries aren't counted for what you wanted, but they didn't go to waste. I hope you can better understand how I want make-up contests chosen. If you're unsure, feel free to ask!
