Feb. 1st, 2024

Welcome to the 2024 Half A Moon Fest!

Today's prompt is black / white / shades of grey. It could be any or all of the above.

Here are some ideas to get you started: Writers can embrace the prompt as colors, degrees of certainty (not everything is black and white…), or maybe exploring a female character in a certain book about a certain number of shades of grey. Artists could work in monochrome or put together a picspam of women in your favorite black and white movies. Reccers: how about an appreciation of a woman of note who takes black and white photographs?

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Reccer's Notes: What better fit for today's theme than a love/hate frenemies sort of rec?! :)
I love the editing and sense of timing in this vid. The vidder uses several editing techniques and they feel organic (vs. forced). Also, I love the parallels and interactions between these two women and this vid highlights them so well.

Since I have been preoccupied by writing an epic fic for this fandom far exceeding all of my other fics in word count (currently 105K words, lmao), I am not writing this year or at least not for now. We'll see on other days, but I love the prompts because they lend themselves to graphics just as much as to writing.

For this first day, I made a wallpaper. I had to work a lot today, so just one. I will see what I'll do on the other days, I really want to participate on all days again.
