Process:
https://perchance.org/beautiful-people I copypasted another button and made it 'action'. Then I came up with some starting action words like 'exhilarating' and tried some artist combos from my big artist list. I collected maybe 10 artist combos in to the action button and made action words appear at varying frequencies in prompts. Then I generated some images until getting a black horse looking at racecars and i knew what an epic prompt would be.
Prompt: (((fantasy racing in the style of speed racer mixed with f-zero x lead by an exotic absolute goddess riding an imposing epic supernaturally black unicorn bareback in a magical supernatural storm))), (((absolutely beautiful))),
this is in addition to all the action words the action button adds and the artists.
Then I generated a ton without really getting what I was going for. But I got some decent ones including this pic, which i think cool but could have more apparent race vehicles and the black unicorn pwning them all. Then I upscaled and did a blurglow effect to remove some pixelyness. and thus picture and new ability on my generator.

For those of us who are impatient to get started, please be more patient? :)
The previous winner thinks up the new challenge and is responsible for scoring and picking a winner at the end. Giving everyone a proper score, and maybe a kind word about their submission, is a nice way to show appreciation for their participation. It also signals the end of the challenge. The highest score wins and gets to host the next challenge.
I guess I could’ve been more clear about the rules. Most winners are old hands at this, so I kind of assumed you knew what to do :)

Not all the elements are there, especially from my addition at the end, but I'm pretty happy with this result
