2023 Wrap Up

[enemytosleep]

Though July may be over, the sunshine_challenge has no deadline for any of our prompts; feel free to answer any prompt or comment as you discover it. There are definitely still folks answering the prompts now, so feel free to check back on the prompt posts for any shares you haven’t yet seen.

If you have already answered the challenges and would like to follow any new replies that may come in, you can choose to “Track This” by clicking the little bell icon at the bottom of each prompt post. That will then send you an alert anytime someone new comments there. If you are finding the sunshine_challenge after July, please go ahead and attempt any of the challenges that appeal to you and reply to anyone there. We all came here to have fun and meet new folks on DW, so don’t be shy simply because you found us at a later date.

♥ You can find all of the 2023 challenges linked at the Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2023 challenge posts.Master List.

♥ If you create any fanworks, feel free to add them to our AO3 Collection (and don't forget to check out what others have already added as well).

There were a lot of thoughtful, creative entries this year, so I would like to call this challenge a success! If you haven’t had a chance to investigate everything just yet, please take some time to go back and enjoy them now. The goal of the sunshine_challenge is to provide a little bit of sunshine to the community here, which we hope to do in the form of prompting discussions between community members and shining a spotlight on all the creative souls who call DW home. We hope we made your 2023 just a little bit brighter.

Stay subscribed to this page so that you don’t miss us in 2024. ♥ Be sure to follow snowflake_challenge for their January event. Take care!

Thank you very much for running this again. I've really enjoyed it, especially because I was able to post photos of flowers as well as having the opportunity to knit a few, something I wouldn't normally do as a challenge response!

[enemytosleep]

I enjoyed seeing both! Thanks for taking part and trying something new :D

Your link to the master list is like, half wrong. The first half of the link points nowhere.

Thanks for letting me know. It should be all set now!

Thank you! This was my first time participating, and I hope to answer more prompts and check out more of what everyone else has done.

Thanks for joining us! We usually have a handful of folks still posting in August, so definitely don't worry about continuing the fun ^_^

Thank you!

I did all my prompts for Eloquent Souls, and they were quite popular.

Thanks for hosting this challenge.

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service. I enjoy this fest, and I try to support the big events to encourage activity on Dreamwidth.

Thank you for running the challenge this year. The prompts always help me reflect and think more about what's going on, and getting to see others' takes on it makes for opportunities to find community, or at least say hi to others on the site.

Thanks for running the challenge! I really enjoyed it even though I only had time to do the first couple of prompts. It was really fun to see what everyone else was posting about too 😊

It's my first time doing any challenges like this here on DW. It's so fun to see where everyone takes the prompt and everyone is so kind! And I got to make new friends and follow new journals! Thanks so much for setting this up!
