CHALLENGE: Summer/Winter Holidays, Round Seven - The Wonderful World Edition
It's our SEVENTH year of Summer/Winter Holidays - that's pretty amazing!
For those who are new: we have a terrific group of authors and artists who have spent the last month creating works for a special set of 15 prompts, and now it's time to showcase them, one by one - and to let you all loose on them as well!
We think seven's a pretty fantastic age, and so this year, we're taking our theme from Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World," the song that starts "Don't know much about history/ Don't know much biology/ Don't know much about a science book/ Don't know much about the French I took," and ends "But I do know one and one is two/ And if this one could be with you/ What a wonderful world this would be." (Have a listen!)
Each prompt contains an art form, a science, a book title (some real, some made up), and a language (again, some new, some made up). How much the Doctor and Jack know about any of these is up to you, but we all like the one plus one part. :D
Every creator was assigned one of the prompts, and we'll be posting their works over the course of the month. In addition, for the whole month of July, all of these prompts are open for anyone in the comm to write or create to. As usual with Winter Companions challenges, you can interpret any of these however you like. You're not required to use all of your prompts - they're just meant as something to get your ideas flowing. You're not required to create the art listed, write the book, or speak the language.
Please let our authors and artists know you appreciate their work! And while you're at it, we hope you'll offer some of your own. Come and join our party!
The prompt groups are listed below, and they're all open for the taking. There's no particular order to them, and you can post your responses any day this month.
The first showcased entry will be up in a moment - enjoy!
As a gentle reminder, please don't crosspost stories for this challenge elsewhere until the challenge closes about one month from now. And don't forget - leave a comment in THIS post that we can use for voting in our next regular challenge poll!
