Greetings, rainbowficcers!

Today, we bring you two new Supplies (Glitter and Glue), four new Styles (Photography, Stained Glass, Fingerpainting, and Pointillism), and four new Palettes (Jewelry Box, Record Label, Weather, and Theatre). Our thanks to Mod Squad-er Nikki for, as always, making the lovely banners.

Have fun with them, and have a great day. As always, if anything is unclear, feel free to ask, either in this post or in the mod journal.

Can I just say how much I love this community and how much work you guys put into it? Because I really do!

Thank you! We love the comm so much (it's our collective baby), and it's great that others love it too. I want it to be fun for everyone.

Could you please clarify what might qualify as 'stretch[ing] your limits' for fingerpainting?

[subluxate]

Of course!

Say you always write in present tense; third or second would be a stretch. Or, in your case, maybe you'd write a modern-reality AU, or you make your characters ninjas; that would definitely be a stretch for you. Just pre-story or post-story wouldn't, but a completely different AU, like one where you alter the entire world and explore how your characters fit in this other AU, would count. So would a very different style; an example would be this fic, which is a traditionally mythological style, is very different from the more straightforward style Sara and I both usually write in.

It's largely a judgment call, really. If you think it's substantially different from how you usually write or from your canon, then you can tag it as Fingerpainting. Limit yourself to ten or so of each type of limit-stretching; once you get pretty used to writing that way, it's probably time to stop tagging it that way.

Okay, thank you. ^^
