Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational

[rabidsamfan]

So many fandoms, so little time.

If you've been enticed by tiny canons or letters with prompts that only give you itty bitty plot bunnies the Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational is back to meet all your "I don't have time or ideas enough to do 1000 words, but that is still keen" needs.

How does it work?

Write drabbles or drabble series for Yuletide Madness. Proper ones, where the text of each drabble is exactly 100 words, please. Ficlets are fun, but they aren't drabbles.

Give them to people.

Add "yumadrin" or "Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational" to the tags.

And of course, have fun!

We're up to 561 fics with the tag now, and I'm hoping we'll get past 600 at least!

Point of as much order as hopeful curiosity: Are we allowed to essentially treat people with additions to the drabble invitational? I haven't signed up for Yuletide itself, but I'd still love to get in on the drabbling.

[lferion]

Not a Mod, but yes, as long as you have an AO3 account, you can post treats for people, without being signed up for Yuletide. I have done this for several years.

[chanter1944]

Yay! :D Cheers! There shall very likely be drabbling afoot. :)

[rabidsamfan]

Remember to add them to the Yuletide Madness collection, so they'll be hidden till reveals. I'm looking forward to all the drabbles.

[rabidsamfan]

Glad to have you aboard! The more drabblers the better! The year I missed sign ups I wrote a whole lot of them. LIke, er. um... 44.

And some of them still get the occasional kudo!

It really is a lot of fun, both for the writers and the recipients.

I was just getting ready to post this... I think we can crank out 39-40 ficlets!

[rabidsamfan]

I sure hope so! I have had a horrible dry spell, and I need to start writing again.

[desertvixen]

I just cranked out 10K in Fic in a Box, so I’m feeling pretty pumped.

Wheee!

[rabidsamfan]

Yay! There are already two works in Yuletide Madness and at least one of them is a drabble!

"5 + 1" type fics where all parts are drabbles count too, right?

[rabidsamfan]

Yes, of course! (Sorry for the late reply. It was an... interesting... month.)

[choirwoman]

Good! Then I won't have to change my tags. (That's 3 drabbles and a 3+1 in the drabble collection)
