Welcome to HalfAMoon 2020

[senmut]

The wonderful tamsin has chosen to step down, but entrusted us with the comm. The us in question are rose_griffes, singedsun, and senmut.

We want to host a free-for-all prompt fest, which will go up on the 1st, and people will be able to ask for their favorite ladies to be given fic, art, recs, or any other fanworks that celebrate the lady in question!

Around the 8th, we'll open another post to do a friending meme, where people can try and find like-minded people to gush over their favorite ladies.

And, of course, we'll do our best to throw a masterlist up on the 15th when we declare amnesty for the rest of the year!

We wanted to give people a chance to set up some works for the coming fest and have two new prompt tables. So even though the Prompts will go up individually on the appropriate days, here's a preview of the full sets.



New Table One:
Day One: Heroines and Heartbreak
Day Two: Aimless Adventures
Day Three: The Story Behind the Villain
Day Four: Legacy

Day Five:

Day Six: Rise Up
Day Seven: Making Enemies
Day Eight: Bawdy Ballads for Awesome Ladies
Day Nine: Rescuing the Knight
Day Ten: Well-behaved Women
Day Eleven: Rascals and Rogues
Day Twelve: Wise Women
Day Thirteen: Witches
Day Fourteen: Practical Women

---

New Table Two (Lunar themed!):
Day One: Shadow
Day Two: Silver
Day Three: Reflection
Day Four: Crescent
Day Five: Waxing/Waning
Day Six: Rising
Day Seven: Dark
Day Eight: Tides
Day Nine: Astral
Day Ten: Eclipse
Day Eleven: Phases
Day Twelve: Gravity
Day Thirteen: Ice
Day Fourteen: Dust


Bonus Picture Prompt: EARTHRISE FROM LUNAR ORBITER 1 On August 23, 1966

Bonus Quote Prompt: "Be both soft and wild. Just like the moon. Or the storm. Or the sea." —Victoria Erickson



Fills can be of any fanwork type, including meta, as long as they focus strongly on a lady (or ladies) within their canon.

Yay! Thank you for releasing the prompt list early - I will try to have some things ready.

That looks great! Thanks for picking up the comm!

[colls]

This is a wonderful prompt list! And thank you for sharing it early :)

[sidleypkhermit]

Thank you all for taking this on! Do you need someone to crosspost for those of us who use LJ?

[senmut]

I do not have an LJ, so unless one of the other mods do, yes? And thank you.

[sidleypkhermit]

Aight, I'm on it! :)

[thisbluespirit]

Do you think it would be possible to make this a sticky post, so the full list is easily findable while it's running?

[senmut]

We'd been linking in the daily posts, but it is now sticky.

Ha, sorry - and thanks from all the people, who like me, do not read things as closely as we should! <3

Hi! So I know this is a fandom/fanworks based thing but I know people have recced a lot of comics which are original works in here in the past and also there's been a lot of interest in the last few years in original works exchanges, which have been really thriving, so I was wondering if we could get a fandom tag for original works? I recced a few and then somebody said that honestly they're always looking for these so I'm planning to rec some others.

[senmut]

As an original fic writer, I concur. I had not noticed the lack, and we did have .original fic, but I renamed it to original works as fic is not broad enough at times.

Thank you!

[fhionnuisce]

Oh cool, I guess I didn't see that! Great! I will be reccing some more!
