Sunshine 2020: Prompt Six

[enemytosleep]

Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2020 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 6: Indigo
Indigo is a rich color that is associated with a variety of things including: magic, experience, truth, dignity, virtue, dreams, profanity, inferiority, imagination, luxury, wisdom, spirit, destiny, elegance, intuition.

The world is full of magic things,
patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper —W.B. Yeats

What magic have you experienced in your life? Have you come to appreciate it differently as you grow older? What experiences have brought you wisdom?

Please feel free to answer in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it a memory you share or an artwork you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: write a letter to your younger self about things you’ve learned that relate to the indigo theme (can also be a character writing to their younger self).

I put a snippet in Grace Notes, my home for outtakes and gapfillers from my longfic The Ways of Paradox. (The snippet probably won't make much sense without the context of the longfic so I'm not expecting comments, but I just wanted to say I did it :D )

[autobotscoutriella]

Thanks for joining us!

That snippet made me very interested in reading the rest of the fic - I'm going to check it out this weekend when I have time to read it all.

[enemytosleep]

I'm glad we could give you an excuse for a bit of comfort writing!

[pauraque]

Done! I shared a quote from Oliver Sacks about seeing a vision of indigo in a hallucination, and some thoughts about things we can think about but can't see.

[autobotscoutriella]

Ooooh, that was super interesting! Thanks for joining us!

🤍

[oldtoadwoman]

I remember him describing that and it's literally one of the first thing that pops into my head when I think of indigo too.

[bemused_writer]

Loved the topic here!

[writedragon]

I did the thing! My blog is open for visitors. Indigo for me = Project Indigo (Doctor Who); indigo skies (chasing comet Neowise); indigo dye; and The Indigo Girls. https://writedragon.dreamwidth.org/12718.html

I seem to have left things until the last minute, but I have written a new short fic for Samantha Shannon's Bone Season series of dystopian novels.

My Dreamwidth post is ready for visitors, and you can also go directly to AO3 and read the fic there.

[enemytosleep]

Thank you for the links! I haven't heard of this series before, but Bone Season is such a grabbing title.
