As July draws to a close, it’s time to wrap up this year’s

sunshine_challenge. I don’t know about you guys, but this month seemed to fly by in no time at all. Though July may be over, please keep in mind that there is no deadline for any of our prompts; feel free to answer any prompt or comment as you discover it.

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 (and believe me, they are still coming in for earlier prompts!). 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 2019 challenges linked at the 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).

Finally, here are a few words from each of our 2019 moderators:

enemytosleep says: This has been such a great time, both as a moderator and as a participant. My helper mods were all wonderfully attentive to everyone, and I could not have done this without their help. ♥ As a participant, I met quite a number of lovely folks whom I look forward to interacting with more in the months to come. Thank you everyone for making this such a wonderful event. I look forward to doing this all again next year!

oldtoadwoman says: I would like to thank everyone who made this an enjoyable challenge by sharing their joy. This has been so much fun and I'm already looking forward to next year.

autobotscoutriella says: Thank you to everyone who joined us! I had an awesome time, and I hope you did too. I'm looking forward to seeing you again for next year's Sunshine Challenge!

sodium_amytal says: This has been a lot of fun for me and, I hope, for you as well. Thank you all for participating, and I hope to see you again next year!

Many of you here are familiar with the

snowflake_challenge, and so a lot of what we will be doing here will be similar — if you aren’t familiar with Snowflake then please go subscribe to them right now! Our aim is to provide a low-key way to continue the fun and warm fandom feelings half-way through the year.

We will post seven challenge prompts throughout the month of July. Some will be pretty simple and straightforward, and some will be a little more involved. You are encouraged to complete as many of the prompts as you feel comfortable doing! 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.

Although

sunshine_challenge is being hosted on DW, if you don't have an account here, please feel free to comment anonymously and sign your (fan)name. You can also sign in with OpenID, which allows you to use your LJ (and other platform) credentials to comment. We want everyone to be able to participate, regardless of where you hang your fandom hat.

Your 2019 moderators include me,

enemytosleep, as well as the wonderful

autobotscoutriella,

oldtoadwoman, and

sodium_amytal.

( A brief hello from your 2019 mods below the cut! )

A very special thank you to

cornerofmadness,

respoftw, and

sharpiefan for their help in prepping everything for the 2019 event!

The

sunshine_challenge is about celebrating fandom itself 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 create this community. Fandom is about love: love of books and writers, movies and actors, music and musicians, comics and their creators, etc., but it's also about being with and appreciating other fans, and letting them know they matter. We all could use a little sunshine in our lives. ♥
