Challenge Housekeeping Post

[rainbowmods]

Please post your claims for the Valentine's Day Challenges here.

Also! We have another (little) challenge available for the next week.

Daffodils of Wales
-Post a story on St. David's Day (March 3) using as many prompts from "Daffodil" as possible; it must mention St. David's Day and/or daffodils. Three novelty beads will be issued for the first prompt used and then one more for any additional prompts.

Since this is a special event, Daffodil will not count towards your five colors. You are also welcome to finish it at any time after the event if you don't quite use every prompt this week.

Anyone who mentions welsh rarebit in any fic posted in the next week will get pictures of Grumpy Cat to use as novelty beads.

We now have twenty new prompt lists for you to enjoy! There may also be a completion banner catch up post (the person who usually makes those hasn't had reliable internet access and we do apologize for the delay).

The claims for the Valentine's Day Challenges have actually been made in the original post. However, if you still have one, post it here!

Botherbotherbothersauce. I only saw the one and OBVIOUSLY I NEEDED MORE COFFEE THAN I GOT TODAY.

[bookblather]

Don't worry about it, my love! Better too many claims posts than too few. <3

Yay, new colors!

But one of them is azure and there's...already an azure? Here, posted back in March 2012. Might cause some confusion.

Note to self- it would help if the accents showed up in the font.

Thank you. BACK TO THE ENCYCLOPEDIA.

[shipwreck_light]

Fixed!

Thank you so much!

Did you just add a Community colour? I love you and curse my lack of an open slot.

[shipwreck_light]

YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO WRITE MORE.

It's all bookblather's doing. I just made the banner. :X

Umberto Eco! The X-Files! Johnny Cash! The Beatles! Community! Things to add to my long list of stuff I wanna do eventually. And a delicious new challenge.

Hell, I might be able to lure someone into Rainbowfic with a Community color.

Speaking of fresh new colors, is there going to be a post for the 99 Colors challenge or should we put prompts used back on that post? :3

ETA: Also, let me make sure I've got this right for St. David's Day: one fic, as many prompts from Daffodil as you can? Can you add non-Daffodil prompts a la a Saturation or no?

[shipwreck_light]

I would have bet money I... wait, no. I didn't answer this because the reply went to the mod account's email and that's why I don't post challenges with it.

I'm really sorry.

Saint David's day is about being stubborn and together and awesome for any reason whatsoever. So- mix your colors, jam your prompts together. As long as you don't burn the place down, it's cool.

Please let us know if there are any other hypothetical themes which could be used for luring purposes. Some of us live to make cracky lists.

As for the 99 colors- the person who was running that is indisposed currently. I will have to get back to you. Do you have a preference for novelty bead theme if I can't get a hold of said person?

[greenling]

All good, I wrote something I enjoyed either way. :3

No real preference, though color/rainbow themed beads seem like they might be particularly appropriate.

[greenling]

Oh, also- with regards to luring, and since it happened to be mentioned during the meme- if someone wanted to perhaps do a VNV Nation color, hypothetically, that might result in luring. And I and at least one other person might snatch it regardless. (And I might have also made half of one in my head already under the title of Arclight, if anyone would be interested, hypothetically.)

[shipwreck_light]

/Theoretically/ is usually do colors in batches of 5-10, so it might not be tomorrow BUT that would make four and having a partial around would help.

So, if said part of a list appeared in my inbox it would be treated as a welcome guest.
