[color=darkred][b]WHAT IS A DRABBLE?[/b][/color]

A Drabble is an extremely short work of fiction with exactly one hundred words. The purpose of the drabble is to teach brevity and test author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space.

[color=darkred][b]THE CHALLENGE[/b][/color]

100 Drabbles in twenty weeks.

[color=darkred][b]THE RULES[/b][/color]

[color=darkred][b]1[/b] [/color]Each Friday I'll post 5 topics. You will have one week to write a drabble on each topic.

[color=darkred][b]2[/b] [/color]Latecomers are always welcome, but you must start at the beginning!

[color=darkred][b]3[/b] [/color]To keep things neat and tidy, please start your own Drabble thread in the era you are most likely to write them for. Post all five of each week?s drabbles in a single post. I will create an index for our threads here in resource. Simply post a link to your thread in here when you first start it, so that I know where to find them.

[color=darkred][b]4[/b] [/color]You can write them all in one day or spread them out throughout the week, your choice. Just be certain to have all 5 drabbles for each given week in a single post.

[color=darkred][b]5[/b][/color] You can follow a thread through your drabbles. They can be canon characters, OCs, etc. You can use just one character, a different character a week, or a different one for each drabble.

You simply must remember one thing:

[color=darkred]These are drabbles! [b]They must be 100 words each.[/b] No more, no less.[/color]
[HR]

Oh, and in case you're wondering, you can find some background on drabbles on [link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drabble]wikipedia[/link]. Be sure to click on the links at the bottom. (We find the instant drabble generator particularly amusing.)

http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/24320043/p1/?0

 

I'll have to try this. Sounds very interesting.

KT

 

I think I'm in the Twilight Zone! lol...Feelings of deja vu...

I look forward to taking part!

Edited to say here are mine... http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/24320589/p1/?0

 

Do we post them here or in a thread or on our own?

 

Start your own thread in the era of your preference and link it here. I will add it to the index.

Just remember, post all five in their same post each week. Check out my thread and J_L's if you would like a visual.

Z

 

I'm in Z, but lets hope I don't get behind!

 

Here's mine!

[link=http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/24320884/p1/?0]His Life in 500 Words - Anakin Skywalker [/link]

 

I've indexed the brand spanking new threads of anakin_luver, Kestrel_Kenobi, and Jennifer_Lyn.

And as my good friends love to say...

May the Drabble be with you!

 

Are you going to be indexing non-challenge drabble threads as well?

- lazy

 

I'm afraid not, lazy, just those who choose to write within the parameters of this challenge.

I simply don't have that much spare time.

Someone should, though. There are several worthwhile ones out there.

Thank you for asking!

Zonoma

 

*cross fingers* I started to write.
This will be my first story,* scared newbie I have been reading everyones excellent stories, every story better the the last!! You are all talented authors!

 

WELCOME! And it's always scary writing and posting for the first time. Good luck! When you have it all posted, just link us in here and I will add your brand new shiny Drabble Thread to the index of participating authors!

Zonoma

 

Well, I've PMed a link to my thread to ya, Z.

Hope to see more people participating soon.

KT

 

Thanks, KT!

I am so very pleased with the responses being posted! It's incredible what you can do with a mere hundred words. Congratulations to all of you who have your Response Threads started and those of you who are still writing your Drabbles!

Anymore takers?

 

I'll see what I can do depending on how busy the awards keep me.

 

I'm game. My writing muse has been getting bored with me, so I'll take a shot at this.

 

Piggy ~ Welcome!

divapilot ~ Those are famous last words of Drabble Addicts, you know!

 

I've got 3 out of the 5 done. This is such a wonderful idea! It really got the old creative juices flowing. It took me less than 30 min with breaks to write the ones I've done so far!

 

Yippee! Done with set #1. You're right -- those were fun. Like little fiction Mcnuggets.
