Hyperspecific week continues on, and today we look at another AU! Relax after the stage or before, and get yourself limbered up, because it's a Swannie AU!

On another hilly day, those fighting for the fanwork classification and the respected maillot scintillement will make their way through another Alternate Universe: the world of acting!

They could be big-time stars in Hollywood, part-time actors at the local theatre, or anything in between. Will they win an Oscar? Will their motley cast create an unexpected hit? Will someone fall off the stage? It’s all up to you, as you write, direct, and produce the Actor AU of your dreams!

It's the first flat stage of the tour and the first word prompt of our challenge! And of course, what word is more important to the Tour de France than yellow?

Whether that means the coveted maillot jaune (not as coveted as our maillot scintillement, of course), the yellow sunflowers by the roadside, or something else entirely. Anything and everything yellow is fair game! 

(Oh my god, they were roommates). The peloton fights their way through the mountains, dreaming of the rest at the end of the day. Our competitors dream of rest for the peloton as well- for them and their roommates, real or fanon.

It’s another challenge stage! Get out of your comfort zone, and create a fanwork in a media you don’t traditionally use! Further explanation can be found here.

The mountains approach, and so does another trope! This stage is about the Wishbaby trope, with an explanation found here.

Returning to a flat stage after the rest day, our competitors get another chance to pull ahead in the fight for the glitter jersey. The prompt for this stage is Remember.
