Sunshine 2023: Prompt One

[enemytosleep]

Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2023 challenge posts. Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time or go back and do any prompts you've missed!

If you are inspired to answer with art, vid, or other media, we’d love for you to share what you created. If you create any fanworks, feel free to add them to our AO3 Collection.

Prompt 1: Iris
They can represent faith, hope, courage, wisdom and admiration. Specific flower colors attach further meanings to the pretty blooms. Purple iris brings a message of wisdom and compliments, while a bouquet of blue iris blossoms speak of hope and faith.



Bonus Prompt: Pink Rose


Please feel free to respond in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it thoughts that you share or a work that you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: share a poem or drabble that reminds you of the Iris theme.

Thank you for sharing with us ^_^

I wrote a ficlet. I'm very excited about this year's prompts as they mesh perfectly with my personal Persphone/Hades modern dress.

[enemytosleep]

Thank you for sharing with us ^_^

I wrote an original F/F double drabble inspired by the prompt. Happy to have written some fiction since I've been having a dry spell!

[vriddy]

Oh, this was absolutely lovely! <3

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for taking part!

I migrated some of my Fan Fiction.net fics onto AO3 and did a little write-up on being Old(TM) and how much fandom has changed since I wrote those things.

[vriddy]

Fanfiction.net! :D What a throwback.

[enemytosleep]

Thank you for sharing with us!

I wrote a drabble of the Sixth Doctor and Peri tying the knot. Considering the Doctor dresses like that (points to avatar) the prompt was begging for me to write for it. “Iris” does mean “rainbow”!

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for taking part, and ooo what a fun fact!

[folk_melody]

I made a rec list for Iris West from The Flash! here: https://folk-melody.dreamwidth.org/8794.html

[enemytosleep]

Thank you for sharing :D

[stardewdreaming]

I wrote a little about how the themes of faith, hope, courage and wisdom are found in Stardew Valley - hope that's ok?

Thanks for sharing!

[komadori]

I did the thing! Find it here.

I am ready for visitors, but my journal does need to be fixed up a bit. If you visit, please watch your step.

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for taking part! Hopefully you'll find time to poke around what everyone else is doing, too. There's always such a fun mix of shares each year. ^_^

[facethestrange]

Posted 2 recs (Lost and AtS) here. :)

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for sharing!

[neonsnailcity]

Posted! Did a drabble for a fandom I haven't written for in many years :)

[tatty]

You said there was no deadline for joining in, so I hope it's ok that I'm just stumbling across the community now and responding to the first prompt. I shared a Green Day song that the prompt reminded me of and talked a little about my love for the band - https://tatty.dreamwidth.org/705.html
