(I keep forgetting to do these, so feel free to poke me via DM or on the discord. You can also keep posting to the most recent one.

This is the place for any questions or suggestions you have for [community profile] rainbowfic , [community profile] rainbowlists , and [community profile] rainbowlounge . This includes 'how does this work?', 'does this supply or style count for this?' and 'what are the limits on this?'

There are a good amount of things that have fuzzy limits or definitions and that's okay. You're allowed to use your judgement of how to use a list, supply, style, etc. But I also want to acknowledge that not everyone is comfortable with ambiguity and that some people need more concrete answers. So this is where to get those (and then it'll be added to the appropriate page). But there are no tag/prompt/writing police here

Anyone can answer (please, if you've been here longer, jump in and help). Please take time to check what the different [community profile] rainbowlists pages say because they might have the answer, but don't be afraid to ask something that seems obvious: it may be that I need to clarify a description or q&a. Checking the tags on [community profile] rainbowfic to see how something has been used is also a good way to get answers, or at least precedent.

I'll be using these as a resource to find things that need to be added or improved in the q&as on Rainbowlist

If you're motivated by banners, take a look at ALL the things you can earn. All you have to do is comment with what you've earned - it's all on the honor system. I'll make a banner for you no matter how long ago you earned it! You can also just grab one of the generic banners (not available for all colors or color/style combinations). Need help figuring out what banners you've earned? Try the Auto Counting Tracking Sheet

I hadn't done the generic for Tempera, so here it is:

Warm Heart #2 [The Fulcrum]

Jan. 19th, 2026 04:33 pm
[personal profile] paradoxcase posting in [community profile] rainbowfic
Name: A Concerning Request
Story: The Fulcrum
Colors: Warm Heart #2: Worry
Styles and Supplies: Novelty Bead ("train whistle", given here), Panorama, Reimagining, Feathers (January 19, 1975: Establishment of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission)
Word Count: 2687
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Characters: Setsiana, Qhoroali, Cusäfä
In-Universe Date: 1912.4.5.3, 21st century, (approximately) -10,000
Summary: Qhoroali pays another visit to Cusäfä.
Notes: I decided the first Cusäfä chapter was entirely too long and had way too much stuff in it, so I removed all of the worldbuilding that was not immediately relevant to that earlier part of the story and moved it into this later scene (about 1500 words of dialog, which has since been neatened up and expanded with more action beats). So if some stuff in here seems like it something you already read before, it's probably because you did. There is some new stuff in here, too, but since a large chunk of it is rewritten from the previous scene, it gets the Reimagining tag.

Name: Practical Magic
Story: Tales From the Neighborhood
Plot Thread: Grant/Scott/William
Colors: Warm Heart #5: Need
Styles and Supplies: Life Drawing, Silhouette, Gesso
Word Count: 1923
Rating: PG
Warnings: Deadnaming and misgendering of a trans character from their own POV, because they don't really figure themselves out until the end of this piece (their real name is a spoiler until the end of this one, hence the grey bar in the plot thread name and the character list)
Characters: Grant Thomas/Scott Hanby, Bethany Ramirez
Summary: Margery Thomas had always been different.
Notes: New plot thread, about a different part of the neighborhood. See the sim notes for how these sims are related to the existing ones. Please let me know if I messed up any of the trans stuff in here, this is mainly written based on having talked to other people about their experiences, rather than based on my own personal experiences.
