It's almost Three Weeks for Dreamwidth again! Here I was so focused on Archive April that I didn't even think about another blogging event that's coming up this month. I'm grateful that I saw ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
bluedreaming's Mastodon post about it or I wouldn't even have realised that it starts tomorrow.
After the event had finished last year, I came up with a blogging prompt idea that I really liked, but it was too late to use it myself, so I waited until now to share it xD (I know I could have posted it any time, but I thought it would have less chance of getting lost in the shuffle this way). It's a prompt for anyone who fancies writing about fanworks (though it can apply to original works, too!)
Here's the idea:
*Probably several dice depending on how many works you have. It's probably an advantage if you're a D&D player who has lots of dice with different numbers of faces xD
This could be done with any type of list, so you could do it with a list of recs, too, if you'd like to write about other people's creations. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share this idea for anyone who's looking for 3W4D inspiration (or general blogging inspiration!). For other ideas,ysabetwordsmith has created a really extensive list of prompts and questionnaires. I might also share some 'Blanket Boxes' from Pillowfort - lists of prompts to build your blog (known as a fort :D).
Is anyone looking to take part in 3W4D, and do you have a theme/set of prompts in mind?

Here's the idea:
- Make a list of all of your fanworks (or original works) - up to you what counts as a fanwork, it can be anything you'd like to write about! These don't have to be in a particular order.
- Give each work a number.
- Every day (or every other day or however often you'd like to do it), roll some dice* or generate a random number, and then look for the work that corresponds to that number.
- Write a post about that work - sort of a DVD commentary, maybe talking about how you came up with it, what it means to you, why you created it, how it came together, etc. Anything you feel like!
