We also currently have this wonderful New Year's Resolution challenge up.

Besides our current art movement, have you considered GYWO 2016? All your fiction counts!

Speaking of which...

Art Movement: RBF Romantic Nationalism

Welcome the new year with a new challenge!

Sign up by leaving a comment in this post with your goal—make sure it's a challenge for you! It can be a word count, number of prompts, lists you want to finish, plotpoints you want to reach. Whatever keeps you happy and on your toes.

Sign-ups are open from now until January 15th. You will have until March 20th to complete your goal. Meeting your goal gets you twenty novelty beads, and exceeding your goal by one third or one quarter (whatever's easier to calculate) gets you five more.


***ETA: corrections made to color & plant lists.

The Color Party makes a good showing, but I feel that the Meme Party really has what it takes to lead this comm into a new era of rare and well-curated Pepes.

Challenge:
-Clear out Blue Opal, Angel Cake, Sherry, Rose, and Goddamnit Green
-Three Illustrations, not counting "But Devils cannot mend" because that's done already and I just haven't posted it
-New Year's Resolution thing for at least one character
-Have a less shitty year, in general


Also, did I miss the October LGBT History roundup thing?

[shipwreck_light]

Ah, possibly. May offer you a pile of beads now :D?

You goals are good goals and I look forward to reading your vote posts!

[greenling]

Whoo. I posted six. Thank you. :3

[rootsofthestories]

I am still so, so tired and not braining so hell knows if I will like these plans later but screw it, here you go.

- Five fics for any color I already have goin
- At least three being more than 500 words
- New Years resolution game for one person.

[shipwreck_light]

THOSE ARE FINE GOALS I BELIEVE IN YOU

[finch]

Finishing Monolith... Again...

Clearly it's challenging because I still haven't DONE IT.

[shipwreck_light]

YOU CAN DO IT I HABEEB YOU

[auguris]

Ahaha. Hi. Lesse, March 20th... let's make it 15 stories. Should help me get back into the swing of things, and kick out some of these VERY old prompts I still have hanging around.

Also, Color Party. I used to support the Plant Party, but I always seem to kill my houseplants. Fundamental differences, I suppose.

[shipwreck_light]

I believe in you and I would love to see more of your fic!

[bookblather]

Hey, good to see you again!

[auguris]

Hey, likewise! Gotta say, I really missed this comm. Just had to take care of some personal shizz, but now I"m back. :)

[crossfortune]

I'm going to say 7 stories. It's undergrad thesis semester.

I'm voting for the plant party.

[shipwreck_light]

YOU CAN DO IT ON ALL COUNTS

[crossfortune]

...actually, wait, thinking about it too: I think I missed the LBTQ roundup.

[kay_brooke]

Same as always: finish my outstanding colors (Antique Brass, Blue Opal, Celestial Blue, Nacre, and White)

Oh, I'm voting Plant Party.

[shipwreck_light]

*EPIC FROFIST* YES YOU CAN ON ALL COUNTS

[shipwreck_light]

Finish Arc 4 of Jealous of Roses

I mean it this time >(

[shadowsong26]

Welp, I failed the last challenge, but here goes for the new season:

1. Write at least one piece per week, no matter how distracting/pressing fanfic deadlines are. (I stumbled back into writing fanfic relatively recently, and my original fiction writing has kind of been neglected as a result...)
2. Participate in all challenges.
3. Complete and post at least one saturation.
4. Actually clean up and start posting either 2014 or 2015 nano project. Both if possible, but definitely at least one.


Also, question: do the party lists count as a special sixth color, and if so, if there's another special-challenge color, would we still be able to do that if we already started the party list?

[shipwreck_light]

Party lists are a sixth color.

ALL HELL YES NEW YOU FIC HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME

[balsamandash]

I need to ponder my parties for a bit, but that looks like fun. XD

Art movement goals:
- Write 5,000 words.

Because setting a number of stories hasn't worked very well; maybe I can combine it with GYWO a little easier this way and hit my goal.

[shipwreck_light]

DO IT

KICK ALL OF THE BUTT

[mortalcity]

The election event looks like a lot of fun! I am going to have a hard time picking a party, though... (Question! When it says "250 words each"... is that at least 250 words, or exactly 250 words?)

Stealing balsamandash's goal, because that seems more reasonable for me than setting a number of stories:
- 5000 words for this comm, one way or another

[shipwreck_light]

At least 250 words.

A GOOD GOAL IS A GOOD GOAL AND I FOR ONE LOOK FORWARD TO YOURS BECAUSE YES YOU!FAE

[mortalcity]

Thank you for the clarification! :D

And I will make sure to write more fae soon, just for you. ♥

[novel_machinist]

My goal is to finish a color a month and to write daily. Since I'm coming off hiatus I want to take it slow. Goal is to write 3500 words a week.

WE WILL SEE

[shipwreck_light]

I CAN POKE YOU ABOUT WRITING DAILY

:D

[novel_machinist]

PLEASE DO!!

[shipwreck_light]

*POKE*

:D

[feline_scribe]

Considering my epic fail in all things writing related after March of 2015? I have to be very realistic about goals, I think: finish Bittersweet. Finish that prompt color list completely.

No particular word count. Just finish prompts 7 - 10 on that list. And then we'll see from there.

[bookblather]

Hiiii glad to have you back <3

[feline_scribe]

Aww, thank you! I'm glad to be back. :)

[shipwreck_light]

I MISS YOUR FIC

IF YOU POST MORE

I WILL FROLIC IN IT

Because more you is still better than more you~fic, s'much as I love your fic.

Thank you for being here!

[feline_scribe]

*blushing like mad*
I shall do my best to post more fic, most definitely. And just be around more, in general. Those are 2016 goals for me. :)

[bookblather]

Oh ooh oooh Color Party, I am voting for Huealry Colorton of the Color Party. Such pretty words.

My goal is to finish six colors of any shade and complete two saturations.

[shipwreck_light]

Yes.

YES.

[dark_kana]

I completely failed last challenge, so I'm signing up for this RBF Romantic Nationalism. In the hope 2016 will be better writingwise than 2015. ^^
It's going to be an easy challenge, seeing I haven't written in... More than a year...? *sweatdrop*
- Post at least 10 fic
- Finish at least 1 of my current ongoing colors

[rainbowmods]

Sounds excellent! We look forward to seeing your new fic :D.

[kay_brooke]

Oh, FYI, the plant party list is missing a #12.

[rainbowmods]

This has been updated. Sorry about that!

[starphotographs]

...I'm late to the party, but those lists count as 6th colors, right? And still available and everything?

(Just trying to get back in the swing of things here, ack!)
