RainbowFic Questions & Suggestions July 16 - 22

[silvercat17]

As I said on the discord, I'm making a weekly post (more or less) where people can ask questions about how things work. This includes 'does this supply or style count for this?' and 'what are the limits on this?' This is also a place for suggestions, including games, colors, styles, etc.

There are a good amount of things that have fuzzy limits or definitions and that's okay. You're allowed to use your judgement of how to use a list, supply, style, etc. But I also want to acknowledge that not everyone is comfortable with ambiguity and that some people need more concrete answers. So this is where to get those (and then it'll be added to the appropriate page). But there are no tag/prompt/writing police here (I don't have energy for that shit)

Anyone can answer (please, if you've been here longer, jump in and help). Please take time to check what the different rainbowlists pages say because they might have the answer, but don't be afraid to ask something that seems obvious: it may be that I need to clarify a description or q&a. Checking the tags on rainbowfic to see how something has been used is also a good way to get answers, or at least precedent.

I'll check these posts at least once a week and I'll be using these as a resource to find things that need to be added or improved in the q&as.

So ask away

I would like to absolutely toss some crap at the wall and ask what people would think of the possibility of:

1) alternate prompt lists for the really basic colors (ROYGBV etc.)
2) people bringing up "hey this is such a cool color/name and nobody's touched it ever, maybe we would like to refresh/remake the prompts here" alternate lists maybe for voting?

I like the basic colors for the most part. Violet and Indigo don't fit the theme and imo could be changed (but I don't know if we could make them fit the theme of 'phrases with the color name')

I did enjoy making banners for colors with that theme :)

Speaking of alternates, I did add to Rich Black with the note that people can omit the additions

I am okay with these - I do think a couple of colors are just a bit dated. (Mostly the meme one.)

[silvercat17]

Yeah... I find the Harry Potter and How I Met Your Mother ones dated as well

The How I Met Your Mother is at least funny to me, as I know nothing about the show itself, but yeah, agreed on the HP ones.
