Festivals come and go, leaving certain memories behind. Yet stories do not, they remain, telling the tale of what once was. Join us on AmbassadorsJP and FreeTheLGBT this Pride Month on Wattpad, with the elements of love and acceptance!
PROMPTS
AmbassadorsJP
It's the time when Pride Month is lighting up some celebrations in Japan. You look at the bustling crowd of people gathering at markets or walking with their dates before the summer festival begins. Your eyes focus on one specific couple. You think of two sakura blossoms that fall together, both unique yet beautiful like the couple...
FreeTheLGBT
You meet someone at a cat café. They give you an exclusive pass to a Pride event in the heart of Japan, and an offer to meet again.
