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

No, sorry. Any of the sources that are specific prompts (brush, acrylics, watercolors, etc) aren't eligible for the more generic sourced ones (modeling clay, oils, and palette knife)

From the Q&A:
Can these overlap with Brush, Acrylics, etc? Sorry, no. These should be from other sources.

ah, not even after the day passes? (for example: if i write something today (7/23) with "emoticon", the word of the day of 7/11/23)

what about other dictionaries or sources not intended to be prompts like word-for-today?

Any source that isn't already linked to in eligible for modeling clay, oils, or palette knife

From the Q&A:
What does 'updates regularly' mean exactly? We don't want to use extremely old prompts for those supplies. It should be from a source that updates at least monthly or has updated no more than two months ago.
If I have a piece that used a daily or weekly supply, how late can I post it? We know writing takes time and the muse can be fickle. You can use a prompt that is current to when you started writing or when you post it (not both).
