wintercompanion | CHALLENGE: Summer/Winter Holidays, Round Four

*\o/* Happy Holidays! *\o/

It's that time of year again - welcome to Summer/Winter Holiday 4, The Touring Edition! Fifteen wonderful authors have written fics of 500 words or more to different sets of prompts, and six artists have put together amazing works. Now it's July, and we're delighted to showcase them, one day at a time, for everyone to see.

This year, we're taking a trip across the universe - every creator was assigned a (fictional) location, a time period, a landmark, and something the place is famous for. For the whole month of July, all of these prompts will be open for anyone in the comm to write or create to. As always, they're meant for inspiration - you don't have to include anything explicitly, just use the prompts to get the creativity flowing.

Please, please let our authors and artists know how great their creations are. And while you're applauding their efforts, we hope you'll offer some of your own.

The prompt groups are listed below, and they're all open for the taking. We've included the dates that we'll showcase each prompt, but you all can post your responses any day this month. They run the gamut, and so, we hope will your responses. Take us on your very own tour to see the sights!
