Challenge Overview

[prisca]

This community offers various kinds of challenges every regular month. Three times a year we will have an amnesty month.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, here is a short introduction.

Monthly Prompts
On the 1st of every regular month, you will get a list with 20 prompts. Your mission is, to grab at least 10 of them and create something for it.
You can mix up various fandoms and work types. You may make 10 single works, or mix up prompts in one or more works. Of course, you are always welcome to use more prompts, up to 20.
Allowed are fics up to 500 words per prompt, small poems like haiku or tanka, icons (100x100 px), and small graphics up to 500 px width x height.
All fandoms, genres, and ratings are welcome, as are original work and real-person work.

Comment Quicky
On the 8th of every second month, we will have a little comment fun. I will leave you a starting prompt, and you will answer with a little fic or one icon (other works are not allowed).
For fics, your work should not be longer than 100 words. Icons should fit DW standard = 100x100 px, < 60kb.
After posting your work, you will have to leave a new prompt.

All challenges run until the end of the month.

This sounds incredibly fun & well thought out! I need this to jumpstart my muse. I am definitely in! :)

[prisca]

I hope we all can have a bit of fun together. That's the point of the community, low-pressure, everyone can jump in at any time.

This looks up my alley! I will share it with some of my drabble-writing friends, too.

[prisca]

Thank you for sharing.

I hope we all can a lot of fun together.

Can I make a request please? Can you put the link to the prompts where it's easier to find. I've wanted to do somem of the amnesty challenges, but I keep having a hard time finding the link again.

[prisca]

I'm sorry. I should have thought about this myself. The prompts are linked in the link list now.

[siberian_skys]

Thank you so much. Sometimes old age catches up with me.

Where do you find the icon prompts? New to this commmunity so trying to figure stuff out.

[prisca]

The prompts are usually not icon-specific but can be used for different media. Some are from various prompt lists you can find on the internet. Others I create randomly by using a prompt generator like https://randomwordgenerator.com.
