Advent Challenge was an advent calendar challenge that ran from 2007 to 2013, and was briefly resurrected in 2017. Despite the name, it also had a summer round. There were 1,493 posts and 2,495 comments recorded in the LiveJournal community as of 2022.
About
By 2010, there were three difficulty levels to choose from:
BeginnerThe easiest way of doing the challenge we've found is to use the prompt lists (Winter round here, Summer round here) and to stick to one fandom for the duration. To qualify for this level though we only ask that you use the prompt lists and use no more than two fandoms. You can pre-write your posts weeks in advance if you choose to.
Intermediate This is where most people taking part in the challenge will fall. You can pre-create your entries and use as many fandoms as you choose. For this level we reccomend that you gather prompts from other people (For an example of this see ddraigcoch's prompt table for advent 2009 found here) but we're not going to make you. Basicly find a way of fulfilling the challenge that works best for you!
Expert (or Old School)
This is the Challenge as it was originally played, and the hardest one to stick to. We don't care whether you use the prompt lists, collect requests from other lj users or simply come up with your own. You can use as many fandoms as you want (although we reccomend only one or two). The catch is that the work you post must be created on the same day that you post it, for the whole of the 25 days unless circumstances stop you posting (in which case let the mods know).
