September Secrets

[bookblather]

Let's have a quick challenge for the end of September. Write a story about a character and a secret. What character? What kind of secret? That's up to you. One novelty bead for every five hundred words or fraction thereof. The challenge will last from today, September 22nd, through September 30th.

Go forth! Write of secrets!

That looks great! I'm going to email the one former mod that I know does commissions and we'll see what she comes up with. :) Thanks so much for the suggestion!

Thank you! (And I am serious - if a banner is the only obstacle, I can make one if the ex-mod isn't feeling like it. ♥)

I'm sorry to bother you again about this Colour of the Day thing. The comm is quiet and I understand perfectly if you'd rather not!

But if you really are happy to do so and lack of a banner is the only thing stopping it happening, well, I have had a go at making one. (The font used in most of the comm banners seems, unfortunately, to be some variant on Core Sans G (probably outline or neon or cube, it's not clear) which is paid-only. However, Futura otherwise matches exactly in style - just no little outline. So, I thought, make it black instead of white in a This One's Meant To Be Different way! Size etc. is of course the same):

Black font (with slight white shadow):

White font with shadow:

(I can alter them or use a different pic of course).

This was the WotD site I suggested: https://www.dictionary.com/e/word-of-the-day/

Plus c+p sample coding for hyperlink button-y thing (although it'd probably be best to re-upload the image for your own use. imgur seems fine so far, but... ):

(Today's word is Snollygoster, so even if you would prefer not to use any of this, my time was not wasted because that is a great word.)

Oh, nice! I'll get this set up tomorrow and make the announcement.

Snollygoster! Ha!

Yay! ♥

And, lol, after all this I do promise to try and actually use it from time to time!! XD

[thisbluespirit]

I feel so sorry for badgering you! But, yay, we have a Colour of the Day! I've been having new boiler related stuffs, but when I pick myself back off the floor, I'm in a very in-betweeny stage where CotD prompts are a very useful thing!

[bookblather]

OKAY FINALLY.

Announcement and Supplies post.
