Yuri Challenge

This is it! You have just over 24 hours to get your prompts in, before we finalize the list! If you've been waiting to come up with the perfect list, don't wait too much longer. ^_^

Here's where you leave your prompts!

And a bit of other business:

During the prompting period, we've heard from several people who'd like to see the challenge expanded in various ways -- allowing more fandoms, allowing more kinds of relationships -- and we're thrilled to see so much interest! We'll definitely take all these things into consideration when it's time to plan for round two. (Look at us -- we haven't even finished the first part of round one yet, and already thinking about round two. You've shown us so much enthusiasm!)

But we also worry about having this challenge get too broadly focused for us to be able to keep up with it or promote it effectively. We chose the current limits because these are parts of fandom where we have some personal investment, and because it's really important to us to encourage more representation of queer women's relationships.

So if this round isn't entirely meeting your needs, we'll see what we can do next time but we'd also like to encourage you to think about whether you could organize something that would provide what you're looking for yourself -- on your own or with a friend or two. The excitement people have shown for yuri_challenge shows that there's a lot of enthusiasm around DW for female-character-focused events. If there's something in particular that you'd really love to see, chances are you're not alone!

Your enthusiasm and creativity has been fabulous! We've been open for prompts for less than two full days, and we already have more than 60 fandoms represented in the prompt list. Keep 'em coming! :D

If you'd like to advertise us, either in your own journal or in communities you belong to (make sure to check community policies first and make sure advertising is okay!), you are welcome to use our banners:

Thank you all for your support! We're off to a great start. ♥

The mechanics of this challenge are really simple: from February 21 to March 4, we will collect prompts in all eligible fandoms. Then we'll post the full list of prompts, and people will have until the end of March to write or draw something that fits the prompts. Post whatever you've made in the community, and you're done!
