Modding to-do list

[silvercat17]

This is mostly for my reference, but please feel free to point out other things

Currently working on:
- Prototype achievement art
- add links as examples to the Custom Palette Color

In no particular order:
- give out completetion banners that are owed
- take photos for a few of the supplies since I can't find a picture I like (we're artists and crafters here so we have, like, all the supplies)
- do a proper mod introduction post (I'm bad at talking about myself, but in short, I'm 41, I'm a graphic designer, and I have way too many hobbies) Done
- update the out of date supplies Done
- close old completion post and make a new one
- tweak the Around the World accomplishment changed it to any six of the World ones, and tagged some more lists as world. It was the largest palette with 8 requirements.
- Maybe tweak some other accomplishments?
- on Rainbowmods update Dial-a-Mod - Done
- on Rainbowlounge make an updated Welcome sticky - Done
- fix the repeat on White Opal - added 'woolgathering'
- fix missing prompt on Outer Space - added 'comet'
- make a post somewhere to crowd-source prompts on DW, websites, tumblr, instagram - comment with them on supplies, noted on the RainbowLounge welcome post as well
- go through rainbowmods and make sure there isn't anything else - done
- give out novelty beads that are owed from previous challenges - done
- improve the rainbowlist color list colors (I'm a graphic designer and the imperfections bug me) - done!
- categorize colors so it's easier to know what color things are (I'll need some opinions on a few of the ambiguous colors) - done except for three that may need an additional hue tag
- link to discord https://discord.gg/dHddKKAN3h - linked on RainbowFic intro post and a few other places
- AO3 collection - created, need to link - linked on RainbowFic intro post
- revamp styles, supplies, palette & achievement pages to be mobile friendly - DONE
- add some more supplies/styles and accomplishments? - new everything added!
- check links on the lists that have links
- create promotion tumblr (probably a sideblog of mine) - linked on RainbowFic intro post
- make a Q&A -  added Q&As to the appropriate pages
- make generic achievement banners - generics for everything  are up

Be careful not to burn out! <3 (And otherwise good luck. When you have a post for dumping prompts, I'll let you have a bunch.) And thanks for the great start you've made.

If you're looking to re-promote the comm, it's been a very long time since anyone did so here, and there is still dw_community_promo & fandomcalendar (I think this place would still be ok at the latter, and certainly at the former) and maybe some other places.

Btw, is the Discord link supposed to go to a Rainbowfic Discord or to the Just Create one, because I just accidentally joined a Just Create one when I clicked on it. (I didn't see a Rainbowfic channel there or anything, but I may not be fully awake yet, it's true.)

[silvercat17]

I have very little else going on (although I should start working on my stories for the WIP Big Bang) and I expect getting through the list is going to take a good amount of time.

I do want to do some promotion, but not quite yet. I'd like to get us caught up first.

They're the same discords! If you look in the general channel, I said I was going to invite Rainbowfic folk.

It's been a versatile discord - it started as a place for me to host tabletop games

No, of course! I just meant, when you get to that point, well... there they are. <3

Oh, thanks! I somehow did not see that bit when I looked earlier and I was just unsure whether it was the right link or you'd been switching between comms or something.

I don't have anything to point out, just wanna say I'm a little excited for a couple of these. (And this is me trying to interact more.)

The colors thing, the ambiguous ones are more ambiguous to me then I'm willing to admit.

More supplies and styles sounds amazing.

I'm extra excited for the AO3 collection. All my stuff is there and I'll crosspost there and I think it'll be pretty cool to have a collection to add them there.

I'll patiently wait because I'm aware it takes time, but I'm excited for new stuff anyway (even if I'm new here).

[silvercat17]

There are some colors that I'm literally not sure what color they are (my spreadsheet has them marked with things like 'black?') and they may end up being categorized as multiple colors, and that's with me having excellent color vision.

I'm a graphic designer which means I have an art degree (it's not really mandatory, but it's basically mandatory), so brainstorming stuff is fun.

The main thing holding up the AO3 collection is me deciding on how I'm handling my name there and aliases (I currently have my smut nom-de-plume as my id)

I'm excited to have new people and I'm hoping you'll stay!

[analogbasilisk]

"Is this blue, green, black... the color of my soul?" I'm a little happy I'm not the only one confused with some of them.

Brainstorming is always fun.

I understand that. I never pay attention to that, but I assume collection mods do mind this kind of stuff.

That's good! I might have a list of colors and palettes I wanna complete, so I'll stay around. Perhaps not the most active – since I have too many WIPs, but I like to have found a community that doesn't have deadlines and not that many rules.

[silvercat17]

Yeah, I tend to post in spurts. I have a lot of hobbies and sometimes it's not writings turn. If you want some more prompts allbingo is good too - while events technically have deadlines, no one cares that much and every December is 'amnesty month' to post fills after the event ended.

[analogbasilisk]

I get, even if in my case it'll be more because I have too many WIPs instead of hobbies. I'm there too, never really posted anything, bingo cards are my favorite form of prompt lists. I always catch their events too late to participate.

[silvercat17]

You can always get a bingo card and use it whenever. You've probably seen me there - I've hosted several events and recently compiled a list of every event ever

[analogbasilisk]

I might do that. I currently have a few Tumblr cards and some self-made cards going, I'm just really slow at filling them. And you, I've seen you. That was quite a long list, that's some commitment.

[silvercat17]

Yeah, I can get a bit obsessive

[analogbasilisk]

I noticed, it was a cool list

[silvercat17]

There is now a Rainbowfic Collection - I've bookmarked on of your fics to it. It's just called Rainbowfic and my username on AO3 is the same as here, Silvercat17 (... it might also show up as RandiDBugger because I just changed it from that)

[analogbasilisk]

That's good to hear! Thank you, I checked, I'll add the one with poem fills. Hopefully I'll contribute with the collection often enough.

[analogbasilisk]

I'd like to say there's a missing prompt in the "Outer Space" list. It goes from "13. cluster" to "15. meteorite".

[silvercat17]

Thank you. I'll make sure it gets fixed (at some point...)

[silvercat17]

I should have said earlier, but it's been fixed

[analogbasilisk]

That's cool! Thank you. Since we're here: in ultramarine, both prompts 09 and 18 are "shell".

I intended to finish writing down the colors I intend to use before commenting again, but I'm almost done and haven't found any other error so far.

[silvercat17]

Oi! I'll add ultramarine to the list to fix

[silvercat17]

Fixed ultramarine
