Sunshine Challenge

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 2022 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).

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 2022 just a little bit brighter.

Stay subscribed to this page so that you don’t miss us in 2022. ♥ Be sure to follow snowflake_challenge for their January event. Take care!

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 2022 moderators include me, enemytosleep, as well as the wonderful autobotscoutriella, bemused_writer, seal_girl, kate, tellshannon815, and mythicmistress

( A brief hello from your 2022 mods below the cut! )

A special thank you to impala_chick, cornerofmadness, paulamcg, and oldestcharm for their help in preparing the 2022 challenge.

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. ♥
