Happy May, everyone! Hopefully you have not been too haunted by Justin Timberlake on this fine day.

May and June contain Mother's Day and Father's Day respectively. For these two months, write about parents. Good parents, bad parents, absent parents, parents who are too present- pick your poison and get writing. You'll get one novelty bead per each 500 words or fraction thereof.

Enjoy writing!

We did this in 2023 and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't do it again.

3weeks4dreamwidth is celebrating Dreamwidth's anniversary!
Come join in for fun, memes, activities, and more ♥

Three Weeks for Dreamwidth runs from April 25th to May 15th in celebration of the site's anniversary, so that calls for a challenge. Anything you post to

rainbowfic between April 25th and May 18th (so it ends on a weekend) will earn you two novelty beads and can be counted as graffiti (threeweeks). I've added 'three weeks for dreamwidth' as tag for it as well because there's a feed for the site-wide event.

In addition, here's a special color you can use even if you already have five colors going:

Dreamwidth Red

You'll get two novelty beads for every prompt from Dreamwidth Red you use from now until May 18th. You don't have to finish the color before May 18th to get a completion banner for it. Fills can be fiction, non-fiction, art, crafts, videos, icons, blog posts, etc - anything but fanwork (you can use it for fanwork and just not post it to RainbowFic; I'm not in charge of the internet).

That's up to four novelty beads per piece. You'll only receive novelty beads for things that you link to in the comments of this post. Because this is for a Dreamwidth-wide event with an ending date, pieces also count as resin.

Not a member of RainbowFic and not interested in joining? Use the prompt list above for inspiration for the posts you make for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth (or anything else)

Hello, everyone!

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling rather nostalgic this March. Thinking of simpler times and happier days and sillier stories. So this March, write some songfics. That's it, that's the challenge.

Stories written for this challenge earn the graffiti credit. If you end up going super old school and adding the lyrics into the story, I'd call that interactive art as well. Earn one novelty bead for each 500 words or fraction thereof.

Questions? Ask 'em here!

Did you know that January is named after the Roman god Janus? He had two faces, one looking forward and one looking back, and was the god of, among other things, beginnings and endings. Let's honor Janus this month by writing canvases and frames.

For every canvas and frame you post in January, earn 1 novelty bead per 500 words or fraction thereof.

Hi all!

For December, let's have an eraser challenge. Write an AU of your story. Set it in space, or change one little decision. Maybe your protagonist breaks up with their soulmate, or your villain wins. Previously established AUs do count, but new ones are more fun. Earn 1 novelty bead per 500 words or fraction thereof.

I can't wait to see what AUs arise!

ETA: Deadline for this challenge is 11:59 on New Year's Eve in whatever your time zone is.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to our October Challenge!

My brother, whose birthday is in October, told me recently that it annoyed him that October is entirely about spooky things. And I thought, you know what, that's right, there's lots of other things going on in October! So in honor of my brother, this year we will be doing Pasteltober.

Choose from one of the many October challenge prompt lists- I've linked to a selection below, but feel free to use any that you find useful. You do not have to use the prompts in order, nor do you have to post them on the relevant days. For every story you write using a prompt off your list, you'll receive one novelty bead per 500 words or fraction thereof, PLUS one novelty bead per number of prompts you've used so far. So, for example, if you've written one story, you'll receive one extra bead. If you've written two stories, you'll get two, and so on. All stories for this challenge may also use graffiti and pastel prompts.

You do not need to use only one list, but extra novelty beads will only accrue per list. Please specify which list you're using in each story so the novelty bead mod does not lose her mind. Again.

You do not need to finish the lists, but let's see how far we can collectively get! Ask any questions here, and happy October!

Sample Lists:

1) Flufftober

2) Unofficial Kinktober (as the official account does not appear to have made a list)

3) Whumptober

4) Creeptober

5) Fictober

6) Angstober

Did you know that June is the most popular month of the year to be married in? Let's get some of our characters hitched. Will an uncle get drunk, or an ex object?

This month, write a story about a wedding to earn 1 novelty bead per 500 words or fraction thereof. I look forward to seeing your stories!

Hello, everyone! It's time for another challenge!

Did you know that, in the US, April is National Food Month? In this month, begin any food-themed color. Get two novelty beads for every prompt you complete, and twenty more if you complete the entire color.

Go go go! I believe in you!

Good evening, writers! It's time for a February challenge! Or actually, two. From today, February 4th, through Monday, March 4th, at 11:59 PM, you may complete one or both of the following challenges. You may complete them as many times as you like. There are no restrictions on the saturations; you may write a pointillism or a mural for each prompt, up to you. Each completed story will earn one novelty bead per 500 words or fraction thereof.

1) Valentine's Day. Pick a red or pink color and write a saturation.

2) Bitter and Single Day. Pick a green or yellow color and write a saturation.

That's it! I look forward to seeing your stories!

Anybody have any ideas for games or challenges for the new year?

Welcome to the last days of Rainbowfic's 11th year! Here is your final anniversary challenge.

Write a story about an anniversary or birthday celebration- not a holiday unless it is also an anniversary or birthday. One novelty bead per 500 words or fraction thereof as usual. This is due by 11:59 on December 31st in your time zone.

Have some good days, and I look forward to seeing your work!

Zebradorite is our 400th list and I think that calls for a party!

Parties need games, so here's some options for you:

Raffle: Sign up with a goal - a word count, number of pieces, lists you want to finish, prompts you want to use up, etc. Hitting them gets you 10 novelty beads
Comment-a-palooza: comment on any rainbowfic post from this year that has less than 4 comments to get a novelty bead
Ice-Breaker: Use any list that hasn't been used to get 2 beads per prompt used (up to 16 beads) You can see what hasn't been used on the spreadsheet. There is also at least one supply or style that hasn't been used; I'll let you figure out which ones on your own. That would also get you 2 novelty beads.
Pin the Tail on the Donkey: Earn a banner that hasn't been made yet! It can be a Color, Paint-By-Numbers, Retouch, Saturation, or Tapestry. The only color that has all of the banners is Salmon and any banners that exist will be on the color's entry. (There are a few that I've made banners for that no one has done yet, like Cyan)
Paper Chain: Use a prompt that was posted or reblogged on the Tumblr to get a novelty bead
Three-Legged Race: Set up a collaboration and get 3 beads each
Twister: write a 400 word fic, or ask or leave for prompts in the comments for one
Host Gift: let me know about a mistake (in the spreadsheet, on a color list, in the resources folder, etc) to get one novelty bead. Convince somebody to join RainbowFic for five beads
Any more ideas?

The party runs until January 1st

Don't forget that 11 Years of RainbowFic Part 11, Poetry. is running until December 11th as well!

Last minute edit: for Pin the Tail on the Donkey, each new banner gets one novelty bead. Twister gets two beads each.
