sunshine_challenge | Welcome to the 2021 Sunshine Challenge!

Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2021 challenge posts.

Welcome to the

sunshine_challenge! Our aim to provide a little bit of sunshine as everyone takes part in creating and sharing the content each prompt inspires.

We will post seven challenge prompts throughout the month of July. You are encouraged to complete as many of the prompts as you feel comfortable doing: whether that’s one, all seven, or some number in between! You can do them on your private journal or in public posts, the choice is yours. If you’re shy we have places for lurkers, too. We want you all to have fun and enjoy the challenge in whichever way works best for you (this includes swapping out prompts and themes that aren’t inspiring you! We encourage conversation and creativity here, so please do join the fun in whichever way suits you).

Your 2021 moderators include me,

enemytosleep, as well as the wonderful

enemytosleep: Third time’s a charm? I feel like we’ve gotten better each year. I’m so glad to bring this challenge back once again, and I look forward to seeing what everyone has to share with us!

bemused_writer: This is my second year modding for Sunshine Challenge. I enjoyed reading everyone's takes last year and I look forward to the diversity of responses this year as well!

autobotscoutriella: I’ve enjoyed this challenge over the last couple of years, and I'm really looking forward to meeting new people and seeing everyone's responses this year! This theme is one of my favorites, and I can't wait to see what everyone does with it.

kate: I'm a newbie to Sunshine Challenge, but my favorite fandom is fandom itself and I can't wait to see what kind of creativity and mischief we can all get up to! Looking forward to everyones takes on the prompts!

impala_chick: I'm so thankful for my fandom community, especially this past year! Sunshine challenge is the perfect opportunity for us to come together and celebrate each other, so I look forward to basking in all the fannish creativity.

mythicmistress: The Sunshine Challenge has been a bright spot for me these past two years. I wanted to lend a hand and give back to something that has given me and so many others so much joy. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

paulamcg: Last summer was my first time at the Sunshine and I enjoyed doing all the challenges. This year I'm glad to participate by helping out a bit, too. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the creative, subversive, inclusive and encouraging community that is fandom.

tellshannon815: Fandom has kept me going this last year, and I'm looking forward to giving something back with this challenge - can't wait to see what you all come up with!

The

sunshine_challenge is about celebrating the DW community and the awesome people in it. One way we can do that is by interacting with each other. Every time you visit the journal of a fellow participant and comment on what they're sharing, you are helping to grow this community and make it better. We all could use a little sunshine in our lives. ♥
