    Drabble Day Tally!
    The results for Drabble Day 2015 are in, and they are magnificent! Although we had a smaller pool of contributors this year, there were 154 drabbles submitted in a total of 54 fandoms, Drabble Day's largest number of fandoms to date. Absolutely fucking fabulous! We've also been super-impressed with how you've approached the prompts - yes, there was a fair amount of hair drabbles (AS WE HOPED!) but you also went incredibly creative in your interpretations and brought some very varied themes (AS WE ALSO HOPED!). Win-win.



    These are all the fandoms we had contributions for:

    Spartacus, Vikings (incl. Punk Band AU!), The Americans, Once Upon A Time, My Little Pony, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Hook, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Demon’s Lexicon, Stargate Atlantis, My So-Called Life, The Hunger Games, Disney (Frozen, Wreck-It Ralph, Mulan, Rapunzel), Sugar Rush, Please Like Me, A Song of Ice and Fire, Harry Potter (Shoebox Project), Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Legend of Korra, Gattaca, Doctor Who, My Mad Fat Diary, North & South, Firefly, The Good Wife, Teen Wolf, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek TNG, The X-Files, Night Vale, Fringe, Slings & Arrows, Orphan Black, Merlin, Star Wars, L.A. Complex, Dance Academy, Wentworth, White Collar, Poldark, Community, Fingersmith, Otherland, Penny Dreadful, Les Miserables, Bletchley Circle, The White Queen, Freier Fall, Latter Days, Sense8, Billy Elliot, Mistresses (UK), The Scarlet Pimpernel, and original fic.

    In the "Most Drabbles Per Person" department, [info]amyriadfthings was the Girl on Fire this year with an amazing total of 33 drabbles and one or more contributions for every single prompt - we bow before your drabbling prowess! That Vikings Punk Band AU is definitely going places! (next up: pls to be getting the cast on board so we can get this on our screens, Y/Y? CANON FIX: NAILED IT!)



    Second and third place went to your very sleepless mod [info]aldiara with 27 drabbles and to [info]amo_amas_amat with 26 drabbles - a very close margin indeed, too bad we didn't notice at the time, lol! (special props to Anna for her North & South series - one of my personal favs, period hooray - and for rocking the comments throughout the challenge! Such a star.)





    Aaaand the rest of the tally was as follows:
    [info]spaghettitoes - 24 drabbles (showed fabulous commitment to her Disney theme and made us snorfle coffee on our keyboards with her mad crack skillz!)
    [info]lilithilien - 17 drabbles (while modding/organising, making gorgous banners, keeping a tally, commenting, chatting with co-mod, and prepping prompts - how many Lils are in your Clone Club?)
    [info]notoriouslyuniq - 14 drabbles (incredible achievement considering she just finished a thesis and wasn't sure she could participate at all!)
    [info]antiteb - 6 drabbles (proud lone representative of mainland Europe - we loved seeing her bring the Teen Wolf back!)
    [info]alsha - 5 drabbles (drabbled and got major supportive commenting game on despite having just returned from a brutal 15-hour night shift!)
    [info]geekchick1013 - 2 drabbles (sprinkled some very welcome last-minute angst sparkles on the challenge with 2 new fandoms!)

    YOU'VE ALL DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE! (I'd apologise for the Sparty spam but triumphant gladiators really do express this best)













    Thank you all SO MUCH for joining us in this wonderful creative messy madness - not just for churning out the drabbles and slaying us with crack and pain and poetry in exquisite 100-word morsels, but also for being fantastically supportive towards each other, cheering and commenting and being stars in every way. It's been an honour and we hope to see you next year!

    Drabble Day 2015: Masterlist
    Ok sweets, you will have to forgive us if we list this by prompt rather than individual drabble, because 154 drabbles is rather a lot and we have a total of 8 animals to feed.




    Still, this should make your drabble scrolling pleasure somewhat easier:
