QPQ: - Not done
Overall: Created on 12/22, 11778 characters, and all the basics seem to be checked off just fine. I personally find ALT2 most intriguing and ALT0 after that. I also added (pictured) to the hooks—I've only been around the DYK block a few times though so correct me if I did something off there. Just waiting on QPQ now!
