Seems the answer to my question is here.

Okay, not quite sure what your question was.

Having not read the first posts about this challenge, I was wondering if it was an invitation addressed to writers so they could "pimp" their own stories. Well, since the only complete story I wrote for the MFU fandom is taking place at Xmas Eve, I'd be tempted to do so. It's long though and not very Christmassy (My first idea was to set up poor Napoleon (and Illya as well, but especially Napoleon) in the worst Xmas environment I could imagine. It's gen and half dramatic/half humorous.

Firstly it's not a challenge, it's an invitation. And seriously the word 'pimp' has such negative connontations. Writers can post links to their own stories, or ones written by their favorite authors....ergo the name "Writer's Choice."

You do have the option of adding your Christmas story to our "!2 Days of Christmas' here on Section VII. The more the merrier, and your story sounds very interesting.

The last Writer's choice is post Christmas, so the "12 Days of Christmas" invitation might work out better for you timing-wise.

Basically the during the 12 Days of Christmas, writers are invited to post their stories each day from December 12th to the 24th. You don't have to have 12 stories to join in, if you have but one story to post, that's fine. Whatever you want to do is fine. I look forward to reading your story!

OK, I'll post it but when? Any day I choose?

I'd like to rec other authors' stories but cannot think of any Xmas MFU story just now though I certainly have read a lot of them on line or in zines, but too long ago; my only excuse being I'm currently struggling with a no-end epic wip in another fandom, which has made me scarce in the MFU community (not by lack of interest but so not to mix up voices and "climates").

By the way I keep seeing the word "pimp" used humorously all the time to qualify the fact of calling others' attention to one's own stories or works.

Yes any day you choose to post your story. Just indicated what day of the 12 days it's for in the header.

Writer's Choice rec's don't have to be Christmas stories, just your favorite fics, we're really trying to keep the 12 Days bit for holiday fics... but again whatever you want to rec is fine. We only ask that it be gen stories as Section VII is a gen site.

I've never seen the word 'pimp' used humorously, so I guess I'm sort of stuck with it's usual meaning and connotations. lol.
