If you ever want to do the challenge too, I'm going to update this list every week. So like every sunday after I spinned my wheel with all the ideas I have.

Week 4: Write a fanfiction in a Circus Alternate Universe.

Week 6: A ghost that is on his millionth haunting that is showing up for the paycheck.

Week 14: A baby is thrown into a lagoon by their parents. The lagoon is magic and transforms the baby into a mermaid. She's a human by day and mermaid by night. They live in the cave behind the waterfall connected to the lagoon. (Original idea from Impulsesanders on Wattpad) Or Mermaid AU if you want a more broad prompt.

Week 15: The hero shows up at the villain's doorstep one night. They're shivering, bleeding, scared. There's also a slightly dazed look in their eyes-they were drugged. They look like they were assaulted. Looking up at the villain, swaying slightly as they're close to passing out, they mumble ''... I didn't know where else to go...'' Then collapse into the villain's arms.

Week 16: A writer that doesn't have any idea what to write.
