Starfall Stories 1

I've been doing a new (sff) canon for rainbowfic. I was originally thinking as I went on I'd sort of collect it together and put it on AO3 and so wasn't crossposting here, but I've realised lately any such collective edit is going to be a long way off, so I'd be better off just crossposting as I write. So I'll do a few posts of catching up as we go, in the order of me posting them. (Chronological order of any pieces completed so far can be found here, though, if anybody wanted!)

It's been really fun to do this kind of worldbuilding for the first time in I don't even know how long, and - having previously only written a Fake TV Show Canon (where it's like isurrendered - writing fic for a thing that exists, even if it's only an episode guide and in my head, lol), it's really interesting to try telling a story this way, all the more so when it would be impossible to do it conventionally at the moment. It's still all very new, but if anyone should want to try any of it, I promise I do have an initial plotline going on already that I'm holding myself to, but, of course, the format of rainbowfic is great for also allowing backstory and myths and odd bits and pieces like that as well.

Anything labelled "Colour of the Day" is flashfic.
