Welcome!

Welcome one and all.

This community is a multi-fandom for those who want to play the drabble game or do drawbles for Advent/December. It is modelled after the live journal community of the same name created by

beren_writes with her permission.

Fandoms included thus far (now alphabetized, thanks to

bonfoi): 30 seconds to Mars, Alex Rider, Angel, Anita Blake, Arrow, Avatar, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Ballet Shoes, Batman (Nolanverse), Black Lagoon, Bleach, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Captain America, Chalion, Conviction, Criminal Minds, Doctor Who, ER, Firefly, Gakuen Heaven, Glam RPF, Glee, Good Omens, Gravitation, Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, Highlander, Hikaru No Go, History Boys, Iron Man, Jane Austen, Jrock rps, Letocest, Lord of the Rings, Law and Order SVU, Love it or List it, NCIS, Oz, Pirates of the Caribbean, Queer as Folk, Saiunkoku Monogatari, Saiyuki, Sanctuary, Sharing Knife, Sherlock, Silent Hill, Star Trek, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1, Supernatural, Swordspoint, Teen Wolf, Temeraire, The Avengers, The Bible, the Black Jewels 'verse, The Chronicles of Narnia, the Hulk, the Vorkosigan saga, The Walking Dead, The West Wing, Third Watch, Thor, Torchwood, Twilight, Walking Dead, Weiss Kreuz, White Collar, Women of the Otherworld, World War Z, and X-Files.

More are always welcome!

drabble: a short story of exactly 100 words (but we won't shoot you if you want to just go with short stories either :)).
drawble: a piece of art or sketch taking between ten and twenty minutes to complete (but again, art in all forms is appreciated, no matter how long you spend on it. ;))

General Idea

Write 24 drabbles/short stories, draw 24 drawbles, or do any combination of the two, and post them one a day throughout December in the run up to Christmas. You don't have to be Christian or celebrate Christmas to play; just go with a Wintery theme if it suits you better.

Rules

01. Be nice to the other members, flames will not be tolerated
02. Please place all R or NC-17 rated drabbles/drawbles behind an lj cut
03. All other drabbles/drawbles may be posted as is since they are so short
04. Please use the following template, or something similar when posting your drabbles/drawbles:

Subject line: Day, Fandom, Pairing, Title (if it has one)
- e.g. Dec01, Harry Potter, Harry/Draco, Mistletoe Madness
Main body of post:
Title: (if it has one)
Fandom:
Pairing:
Rating:

05. Please tag your drabbles/drawbles using a tag of your LJ name and the day in this format: Dec01, Dec02 etc. Once you have posted your first entry I will add a tag for you with your name and tag that entry for you and you will be able to tag your own entries from then on. The day tags have already been created (you just may not be able to see them in the tag list so you will need to type them in). The tags will make it easy for a reader to access all of your drabbles or drawbles at once or all for a day. If you have any problems with the tags just ask and I will be happy to help.

06. Because this is a drabble/drawble comm, the disclaimers may be bigger than the contents of the posts, therefore there is a Disclaimers post. If you are posting for a fandom not yet listed please comment on the Disclaimers post with your usual discalimer and it will be added to the main post. (If you would rather post your disclaimers with your entries you are most welcome to, this is just an idea for a short cut.)

Notes:
You may post more than one drabble or drawble a day if you would like.
You may post in as many fandoms as you like.
You may post in fandoms other people are posting in.

This comm is open to all who would like to play, and don't worry if you can't do all 24 31 stories (we post prompts throughout December) or drawings, just do your best, this is all so we can have fun.

If you will be posting for a fandom that is not listed in the interests then drop me a note and I'll add it in.

And above all, enjoy yourselves! :)

	Odds are at least some of mine will be from one of the following: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, the Vorkosigan saga, and the Black Jewels 'verse. ::squints at directions:: I'll go post disclaimers for them in the disclaimer post. (Though if anyone else does Vorkosigan or Black Jewels I'd be shocked.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2007-11-29 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	You got it. And may I add, I adore Firefly. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You got it. Thanks. And may I add, I adore Firefly. :) Me too! Though I swear I've had this net handle since 1996, long before the tv show. I only just finally got the DVD's and watched the series a few months ago. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	firefly124 2007-12-01 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	Ooh, I've got a question, because today's prompt spawned multiple bunnies. I thought I'd just pick the one I like best to post and hold onto the others for days when I either don't have any ideas or don't have time to write. But how do you want the subject line and tag handled in that case? Should I use the day I'm posting or the day of the prompt? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alisanne 2007-12-01 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	Just use the day you're posting, because I think that's how we'll keep track. As soon as I figure out how to link to tags. sigh (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	firefly124 2007-12-01 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Cool, thanks. What do you mean how to link to them? The one for today is just "http://asylums.insanejournal.com/adventdrabbles/tag/dec01" for example. The downside on IJ with tags is that you can't just click them from the list, you have to either type them into the field or copy-paste them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alisanne 2007-12-01 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	This layout won't allow a list of tags to show up on the side, which would be ideal. Anyway, I was toying with the idea of making links to each tag, but that will be a PIA. But, now that you say that, maybe I'll just do a wrap up post at the end of each day... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh! Now I see what you mean. Hmm, were you wanting to do all the author and prompt tags as well as the day tags? I can see how that would get cumbersome. Though if you (or someone) did a daily wrap-up, as you say, and then carried it forward, eventually there might only be one or two new authors to add, as most would be repeats and already accounted for, and then the day and prompt tags.

	Oh great modly one - is it kosher to keep posting here through Dec. 31? I have holiday drabbles/ficlets for another week... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2009-12-24 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	Go for it, babe! I'll prolly be posting thru at least Christmas if not beyond. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	entrenous88 2010-11-27 05:23 am UTC (link)
	Apologies if this is somewhere clear as day and I'm too sleepy to see it -- but do we only get to see the prompts the day-of (when the drabble/drawble is technically due) or do we get a list before the due dates dawn? (Reply to this) (Thread)

LOL! Well, let's put it this way. If I were organized enough to know what each prompt will be before 5:58 pm (my time) every day before I post at 6 pm, I could do that. *g*
Right now I post them at as close as I can manage to midnight GMT. Depending on where you are in the world, that could be a half a day ahead of when it's due. Not that we're that draconian about it. You can post 'late' and we won't even yell. ;)

	Oh, yay, thanks for the answer! I just wasn't sure if everyone got a sekkrit list in advance or something. I've intended to do this challenge before, and have, uh, been distracted by shiny things and RL. I'm hoping this will be the year! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	entrenous88 2010-11-28 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Also, OMG, I did participate (though I didn't finish) in 2007! 0.o I had completely forgotten. Um. Spiked eggnog, maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sanctuary please? Hopefully my muse returns and lets me play. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2010-11-27 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Ooh yes! Will add. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dani_meows 2010-11-28 02:52 am UTC (link)
	:-D Yay! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	inoru_no_hoshi 2010-11-27 03:48 pm UTC (link)
	Because obviously I need more to distract myself with... Could you add Bleach and Glam RPF into the fandom list? Any other fandom I'd write in is already listed - unless my muse goes completely off the deep end. eyeroll (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2010-11-27 11:58 pm UTC (link)

Your list gave me conniptions, so I alphabetized it:

30 seconds to Mars, Alex Rider, Angel, Anita Blake, Avatar, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Ballet Shoes, Black Lagoon, Buffy—the Vampire Slayer, Chalion, Conviction, Doctor Who, ER, Firefly, Gakuen Heaven, Good Omens, Gravitation, Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, Highlander, Hikaru No Go, History Boys, Jane Austen, Jrock rps, Letocest, Lord of the Rings, NCIS, Law and Order SVU, Pirates of the Caribbean, Queer as Folk, Saiunkoku Monogatari, Saiyuki, Sharing Knife, Silent Hill, Star Trek, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1, Supernatural, Swordspoint, Temeraire, The Bible, the Black Jewels 'verse, The Chronicles of Narnia, the Vorkosigan saga, The West Wing, Third Watch, Torchwood, Twilight, Weiss Kreuz, X-Files

This also meant I got rid of the duplicates you had.

And, since

firefly124 asked me so nicely, I think I'd like to play too this year. Good exercise for the brain, eh?
