3 Weeks for Dreamwidth 2025
Remember, anything you posted between April 25th and May 18th (tomorrow) will earn you novelty beads! But only if you comment with a link on the original post!

(If you've started Dreamwidth Red, you can keep using it until you complete it, no matter how long it takes)

And don't forget about Bookblather's May and June Challenge

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:

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.

ysabetwordsmith has suggestions for things to do for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth on your blog and she posted stuff on

allbingo for it as well

I'll be continuing to focus on getting through my to-do list to revamp RainbowFic. Please let me know if there's something you'd like prioritized.

Halloween is in a week, and whether or not you celebrate, let's trick or treat on RF.

How to participate:

1) Post a picture or a description of a door in the comments.
2) Comment beneath other doors to knock.
3) The owner of the door will give you a novelty bead. Use these anytime.

Happy Halloween!

I promised you a game with our wonderful affiliates

getyourwordsout. So! Here's how this works.

#1: Write up the following and post it in your personal journal.
--A brief summary of a story you wish to write
--2-3 choices you'd like your audience to make regarding your story. They can be characters included, how events turn out, the color of someone's scarf if it's important (but, do try to choose significant items).
--A date and time for your poll to close.
>>> This doesn't have to be a formal poll, but you probably want to set it up so that any user can vote.
Here's mine as an example.

#2: Link to your poll in the comments here and/or at the

getyourwordsout post. Don't be shy to use both.

#3: Once your poll closes, you have until April 26th to write your story to audience specifications. On that date, there will be roundup posts to share your work in all of its glory.

GYWO Challenges ~*~ RBF Challenges And Spring Art Movement

"Well, I think that's it." Robin announced as he slid the last of the glass beads back into... whatever it was that held them suspended.

The noise of all the visitors died down sharply, and he assumed that meant it had worked. Phew. Robin couldn't believe his luck, that he'd gotten all that fixed before-

"Not bad," his teacher said from behind him. "But there are better ways to learn the principles of interdimensional boundaries."

And the Labor Day RP is now finished! Feel free to take your time winding up threads, but please don't bring any new characters.

Comment here with who you brought to get yourself three shiny novelty beads per character!

Click on the comments to this post to get your DELICIOUS BIRD CANDY.

I mean prompts, not suet.

You may ask each bird for candy only once! ...until you post a fic back to that bird using your previous candy from the bird in question. Candy does not expire. You may use as much candy in any fic as you want. GO NUTS. I mean, it's all candy. One more piece probably won't hurt.

Feel free to start your own candy thread- these must include a bird in the top thread and have a theme.

At around 7:30PM Sunday, August 11th (Arizona Standard Time), you will be issued a final prompt (or three, depending on how many are left) with the comment subject "Lantern's Out"). Everyone with an open thread will get a Lantern's Out.

You will have until the midnight between August 12 and August 13 to post stories for any remaining open prompts. Well, you're welcome to post them for amnesty too, but the tally for completed prompts is happening on August 13.

On the evening of August 13, a post will go up anouncing the winners.

Winners must appear in the comments to claim their prizes, so keep an eye out!

shipwreck_light

Up early because it's 110 out already where I live and I will be damned if I'm going out of the house.

Here's how to join the celebration...

1- Post a comment with the subject "Lantern- [Your Author Name]".

2- You will be given a prompt. You may specifically request "no n00dz" or "no dead d00dz" for prompts, if you like.

3- You have one hour to write and revise a story based on that prompt; posting/generating a header doesn't count for your time. Now, obviously you're not going to be at the computer all day, so you're on the honor system for having taken an hour or less.
> Midsummer Night's Dream prompts count as graffiti.
> You can use any other colors and supplies you can get your mits on. Glitter highly recommended. But, you can also post without a color if you desire. Hey, you only have an hour here. Do what you must!

4) When you have gotten your fic into the community, reply back to your prompt with a link to the fic. Specify if you would like another prompt. Repeat as desired.

5) You can mulligan on any given prompt, but you should wait twenty-four hours from when it was given to you. Just reply back to the prompt requesting a new one.
> Prompts do not expire unless you muligan or the event ends.

6) The person who uses the most prompts gets a prize. The prize is not more prompts. There will be a tie-breaker [based on total posted wordcount] in the event of multiple winners. The prize has no monetary value except to my Mum. because I have a bet with her over it. You can only eat it under certain circumstances. It also does not conflict with the Supreme Whumpmaster title awarded at the end of The Summer of Whump.

7) Please post questions with the comment subject "Mushroom".

ETA: The post limit per day has been raised to *7* if you are doing Midsummer Night's Dream.

ETA2: We have officially cleared the first page of prompts in less than twelve hours.

ETA3: 36 hours in = finished the second page of prompts. NICE GOING! KEEP IT UP.

ETA4: We are now on page four of prompts where the art starts to shift.

ETA5: And the lanterns are out! Stay tuned for the winners.
You may have been issued extra prompts based on your post count bracket. Enjoy them or sleep off the party as you like. But remember, you only have until 12:01AM August 13th.

The Gate University RP is now closed! Feel free to continue playing, but please do not bring any more characters to the game.

Post here with the names of the characters you brought to receive your novelty beads. You will get three per character, and the host gets five extra.

Thanks for playing! We'll see you next time.

In the US, at least, the day after Halloween, there tends to be a huge sale on bags of candy. In this here comm, we're going to say that's why we're doing a candy bag exchange on November 1.

Leave a comment with the names of at least one of of your characters and how they dressed for Halloween, and other people will leave you Novelty Bead prompts. Please try to leave prompts for everyone who prompts you. Prompts can be as general or as specific as you'd like.

Have fun!

The Hotel of the Lost is now closed. Please note: this does not mean stop playing! Play as long as you and your partner are having fun. Just please do not bring in any new characters.

You can pick up your reward prompts here! Leave a comment listing the characters you brought in, and a mod will leave you three prompts per character.

Thank you for playing! We hope you enjoyed yourselves.

It's that time of the season once again! The Community Roleplay will take place this weekend, starting Friday, October 19th as soon as the post goes up and ending Sunday, October 21st at midnight, or whenever the mods feel like closing the post.

For those of you who haven't participated in one of these before, the basic idea is that portals are opening everywhere in the worlds of our stories. Characters are being transported to a predetermined location, in this case the hotel that my character Paige manages, where they can interact with the others transported there. Any powers remain intact, but characters cannot kill or seriously injure one another in any lasting way, and it's polite to clear minor injuries with the player ahead of time.

A few guidelines, as originally written by Sara:

--You don't have to create separate journals for your characters (though you can if you'd like), but it would be helpful if you could use an icon approximation for what they look like. It just makes threads easier to follow.
--Threads are self-contained. If character X is talking to character Z, and character Y tags in below to also talk to character Z, those are happening without any knowledge of the other. It's sort of like the second thread, in-universe, doesn't start until after the first is over, even if both are being played simultaneously.
--Now, on the other hand, if you want a three (or more) person thread, that's cool too! Just work out the order of tagging amongst yourselves to avoid confusion. If IM contact isn't available, a small OOC note works just as well (Example: "OOC: Order: character y-character x-character z?" means character x will always tag after y, y will always tag after z, and z will always tag after x.)
--Please stick to writing tags in third person. Either past or present tense is fine.

You will receive three prompts for every character you bring into the RP, and of course it's tons of fun! Previous RPs are here and here, if you'd like a look at what we've done before.

Hope to see you there! Feel free to ask any questions in this post.

rainbowmods

If you participated in the Bar at the End of the Universe RP, comment here to receive your novelty bead prompts. Remember, for every character you brought to play, you are entitled to three prompts.

If there are still some threads dangling that you'd like to wrap up, feel free to do so--it's up to you.

I hope everyone had fun!

Hello, lounge!

Just glancing over the threads in the RP game (which, damn, guys, 1,100 comments, nicely done!), it appears to me we'll need more time to wrap everything up. Therefore, I was thinking about continuing the game through Wednesday, the 25th.

Does anyone have any thoughts or questions on the matter?

rainbowmods

Things are shifting. Points in space and time are connecting in ways they’ve never connected before. Bridges are materializing where there once was nothing.

There are cosmic signs appearing across the universes. They’re all pointing to the same place.

OOC: Sorry for the delay! If any questions come up, remember there’s this post where you can ask.

rainbowmods

This is just a friendly reminder that the Bar at the End of the Universe RP starts tomorrow! The game post will likely be up around 1:00 PM EST.

If you have any last-minute questions, feel free to ask them here.

rainbowmods

Hello, Lounge!

I like to RP, and I love to drop my characters into new situations to interact with other characters. If any of you do too, I think you may be interested in this game. The official game post will be up on Thursday, April 19, and tentatively run through Sunday, April 22 (depending on how active it is).

Basically, portals are opening everywhere, in every city, state, country, world, universe. If your character steps through one of these portals (opens a door, walks outside, etc) they end up magically transported to Dan's, a bar in present-day Brooklyn, New York, owned by the eponymous Dan. (Dan's is a part of the Polyfaceted 'verse that Kelly, Geena, and Sara write, but you don't need to follow the story in any way to take part.)

They have no idea how they got there. Neither does Dan, but that won't stop him from offering them a drink and a sympathetic ear.

Powers do remain intact, with one minor exception: think of the bar as an interdimensional safe-haven, where your characters can't inflict lasting damage on anyone else. So while they could still levitate a cup with their mind if that's their speciality, or even smack or push someone, they can't shoot or Crucio them, or anything that might kill or injure them for an extended period of time.

That's the premise. What happens next? Who do they meet? It's up to you.

( A few guidelines: )

This is an official game, so participation will of course be rewarded. For every character of yours who stops by and plays, you're entitled to three novelty bead prompts. And, if things go well, for the next game, we will open up a suggestions post so our characters can visit other universes too!

It's Valentine's Day, and that means sending valentines!

Open your mailbox here by leaving a comment, and other members can leave you prompts. These can be quotes, pictures, videos, song lyrics, song links, or a random word or phrase! If any of your characters are in the Valentine's Day mood, they can also open mailboxes of their own. Just add their names to your original comment. Authors and characters can leave messages or gifts for other characters, but they can't be used as Novelty Bead prompts.

Please try to reciprocate prompts for anyone who gives you one and has an open mailbox. This is open for as long as people want to participate, not just today. And most importantly, have fun!

Hello, writers! Welcome to the first special occasion challenge for Rainbow Fic!

Valentine's Day is approaching quickly, and we the mods are great big fans of love. President's Day is also approaching, and we the mods are great big fans of Presidential Pickup Lines. Therefore, we're holding two challenges, one for each day. Each challenge will earn you graffiti credit for the story itself and a novelty bead prompt for a future story.

Valentine's Day: Write a story based off a post from Not Always Romantic, and post it on February 14th, Valentine's Day. You may take graffiti credit for this story, as long as you include a link to the Not Always Romantic post. Comment to this post with a link to your story, and a mod will reply with a novelty bead prompt.

President's Day: Write a story based off a post from Presidential Pickup Lines, and post it on February 20th, President's Day. You may take graffiti credit for this story, as long as you include a link to the Presidential Pickup Lines post. Comment to this post with a link to your story, and a mod will reply with a novelty bead prompt.

Happy writing! If you have any questions, just give us a shout.
