Woody's Place

Just one final reminder, everyone, that your submissions are due in a little over 24 hours unless we've spoken about an extension.

If you feel you're going to need an extension, please PM/email me as soon as possible. For those of you who are considering dropping out, please remember that dropping out without an email to the community account (woodysmod@gmail.com) will prevent you from participating in future fests.

Finally, for those of you who have already sent in your submissions, I will confirm that I've received them soon.

If I fail to receive your submission by Saturday morning EST and we haven't spoken about an extension, you'll be receiving an email from the mod account. Sometimes emails fail to send, so if you've already mailed me your submission and you receive this email, it means that for whatever reason it didn't make it to my inbox. I just ask that you resend it if that's the case. No harm done.

Anything else? Just ask in a comment below.

There's roughly twenty-four hours left until Sign-Ups close for Pride in the Pitts. We have a wonderful group of participants so far, but we'd love to have more of you!

Because there are very few symbols more iconic in the LGBTQ community than the Rainbow Flag, and especially during Pride season, the mods decided to base all of this summer's prompts on a color and meaning on the original rainbow flag. I think that everyone will agree that the inclusion of hot pink and turquoise will add to our fun!

For those who are curious, the colors and symbols from the original flag are as follows:

Hot pink - sexuality
Red - life
Orange - healing
Yellow - sunshine
Green - nature
Turquoise - magic/art
Blue - serenity/harmony
Violet - spirit

Each color has four subcategories under it: place, image, quote, item/concept. Our fourth category is sort of a catch all for anything we thought might be fun, from a word to an event! In selecting these prompts, the mods did their best to find prompts that would be concrete enough to provide a specific idea but flexible enough to go a thousand different ways with it. And for those of you scratching your heads at a few of the selections for our more abstract or hard to place categories (serenity or sunshine, for example), we ask that you just go with it! Our first priority was creating useful prompts, and sometimes we had to play with words and feelings.

Finally, when selecting your prompt for this fest, you will be selecting a color and subcategory. When asked for your prompt on the sign-up post, you'll need to put, for example, violet-quote. You may not choose only a color.

Alright, did you find the perfect prompt? Then head over to the Sign-Up Post.
