Advent table
*taps microphone and clears throat*
Hello, all!

So, as we all gear up for our drabbles/drawbles/ficlets that we're hopefully planning to start posting in three days, it occurred to me that maybe people would like an advent 'calendar' of sorts to provide inspiration, in the event you need some. :)

To that end I've picked twenty-four (24) prompts and an extra, if, like me, you decide to do a Christmas/Yule/Whatever fic at the end. Each one will be revealed on the appropriate day of the month and anyone is welcome to use the prompt in any way they'd like in any fandom they'd like. And of course, you don't have to use the provided prompts at all, I just figured it'd be a fun thing. *g*

Here they are, but the prompts are still a seekret. ;)

01.	Dec01	02.	Dec02	03.	Dec03	04.	Dec04	05.	Dec05
06.	Dec06	07.	Dec07	08.	Dec08	09.	Dec09	10.	Dec10
11.	Dec11	12.	Dec12	13.	Dec13	14.	Dec14	15.	Dec15
16.	Dec16	17.	Dec17	18.	Dec18	19.	Dec19	20.	Dec20
21.	Dec21	22.	Dec22	23.	Dec23	24.	Dec24	25.	Dec25

I hope this encourages more people to play! *g*

*Edit: Each day's prompt shall be revealed as close as possible to Midnight GMT so that everyone has a fair shot at them. :)

	Such a good idea! It'll be the first time I'll try to participate and the prompts will certainly help! (although it'll be evening in my time zone when you reveal them).... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hmm, I should prolly pick a certain time each day to reveal them, shouldn't I? Wonder if it would work better if I said Midnight GMT or something? ponders And yay that you're playing. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well... to compare -- it's 9.17pm where I am right now. And since it sometimes takes a while to come up with something works... And yes I do realise I'm, like, way in the minority here since most of the people playing are closer to your own timezone.. Heh yeah -- seemed like fun and this year I'm not battling a thesis...

	I think it's a good idea to centralize it a bit more, actually. As an American I do sometimes forget that there are other parts of the world sheepish but I have no problem revealing them at say... midnight GMT, which would be about an hour off your time, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nefernat 2007-11-28 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	Oh that would work brilliantly! I'd have most of my day to work on them, or at least have the idea run around my head nods excitedly :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alisanne 2007-11-28 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	K so, just to be sure, it's almost 3pm where I am, and that would make it almost 9pm GMT, right? So I'm aiming for 6pm my time to post each day's reveal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nefernat 2007-11-28 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	I just checked on the online World Clock and yes, it's almost 9pm GMT. So, just to be clear, if you were to reveal prompt #1 today at 6pm your time, I would see it tomorrow -- would it be the prompt for tomorrow? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alisanne 2007-11-28 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I'll reveal the prompt for Dec 1st at 6pm my time on Nov 30th, so it'll be up at 1am your time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nefernat 2007-11-28 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	In that case you get the silly-happy-dance icon :D [and, of course, I won't be at a computer until evening my time on Saturday, but I'm not complaining!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	LOL! counters with sexy Alan Rickman dance icon Hee! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ooooooh!! That's from Texas' In Command video, if I'm not mistaken :D [yes, I'm the geek who gets all the pink Trivial Pursuit questions right sigh] Wheeee!!! uses other dance icon (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alisanne 2007-11-28 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	Hahahaha. I love House. g More Alan will have to do, though. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And I counter you, icon-wise, with my SPF icon nods Can't wait for the drabblemonth to begin! wonders if she'll be able to keep up (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm going to give it a try as well. I just posted my first story on my journal, too! I'd love to work on some drabbles as well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2007-11-29 07:31 pm UTC (link)
	Excellent and welcome! :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	firefly124 2007-11-29 12:25 pm UTC (link)
	Great idea! And the rules seem pretty open-ended, but I'll ask just in case: are crossovers okay? Because I have a tendency to make characters play in each other's worlds. Yes, even in drabbles, though those tend to be cracky as there's no room to really set it up. :-) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2007-11-29 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	Crossovers are great! In fact, do see the current challenge over at snarry100 for my opinion on that. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yay!! Should I just jump in, or try to catch up with past prompts/days? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alisanne 2007-12-09 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Whichever you like, my dear. We're pretty relaxed around here. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
