Superflat

[rainbowmods]

It's summertime in the northern hemisphere, and where at least one mod lives it is too hot to move outside. Let's give ourselves all something to do inside with a new art movement!

This season's flavor: Superflat.

Sign up by leaving a comment in this post with your goal--make sure it's a challenge for you, but otherwise there are no upper or lower limits. Sign-ups are open from today until July 15th. Once you've posted your goal, you have until September 30th to meet it. Meeting your goal gets you twenty novelty beads. Exceeding it by one-half or one-third (whichever is easier to calculate, as heat makes mods lazy) will get you another five novelty beads per half or third.

If you have any questions, ask away! We recommend the comments, PM, our Dial-a-Mod post, or the contact information listed on the rainbowmods account profile.

Enjoy!

Lilith Fair 1: July 1 through July 8

[rainbowmods]

Hello, lounge! Today begins the first of two Lilith Fair challenges we'll run this summer. This one runs from July 1 through... well, since I'm posting much later in the day than intended, we'll go with 11:59PM on July 8 your local time.

For this challenge, you have three options. You may use a female artist's song as a prompt (when it comes to bands, the majority of members should be girls or women); write about a female character's relationship to music; or write a song for one of your female characters. You may also use all three options. For each one you write, you'll get one Novelty Bead for up to 1,000 words, two for up to 2,000 words, and so forth. Each fic written for this challenge does count as Graffiti, as well.

Questions, comments, concerns? Feel free to ask here. And enjoy! We'll have a roundup post on July 8 or 9, where you can post links to your fics, as well as their word counts, and get your Novelty Beads in return.

(P.S. I should note that you may recognize this from a summer challenge a few years back from runaway_tales. For the record, that challenge was thought up and run by the same mod posting this.)
