	Awwww!! applause for foreverbm. She is definitely a B/M/Hunter/JR kind of drabble writer. :-D I'll have to get back to you on ideas. Since I'm usually having to find someone to send bunnies to me, as you WELL know! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	OMG...I don't believe it. Thank you so much! I'm not that good with words except when they come out of Ben/Michaels mouth but I truly appreciate being welcomed into this asylum with my Ben/Michael love and feel very honored to have met and made so many new friends. Thank you all so much (Reply to this) (Thread)

OK, lame as they may be, here are some drabble ideas:

All of these could be "use the word" or write about the theme...

1. Vacation

2. Poker/Cards/Board Games

3. Traveling

4. New York

5. Bridges

6. Coffee (did we do that one already?)

7. Morning

8. Weekends

Another idea is Quotes. The author has to pick a short quote and write a drabble that was inspired by it. We did something similar with song lyrics early on I think.

Also, how about season-specific challenges? That would cover five weeks! :)

Oh, or the dictionary challenge. The writer opens the dictionary and points blindly to a word. They then must use that word in their drabble.

Well, I said they were lame. LOL If I think of any ideas that are, you know, good I'll post again later. :D

	I would love to see a series of drabbles of the take on the B/J relationship (day in the life stuff) told from other characters POV. Kind of like Mel's POV in the first chapter of Xie's plans. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I really enjoyed the challenge where we had to write for episode 216-220. I think it would be cool to focus on certain episodes for challenges. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I've been thinking of drabble-gapfillers for a bit so now that I know others are interested... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	queerasfruit 2008-01-15 03:35 am UTC (link)
	How about lips, the letter "Q" (or any other letter), leather, She, He, envy, the Big Q, Burger Queen, or motherhood/fatherhood? And crack x 3000. Crack will always be my favorite to write. ;) (Reply to this)

Dictionary - open up the dictionary, pick three random words and must use all. This is kinda like Ellen's but X three!

I second the Bridges challenge. Pittsburgh is a city filled with bridges as is NY.

Also, Pittsburgh has cliffs which go down to the river and tunnels too!

Hunter sleeps over

Minor characters again

Vacations

In the slammer - someone gets arrested

I have an idea for a challenge for next week (the week after the angst challenge)!!

These comments between court1429 and catcayman gave me the idea. Next week the challenge should be schmoop (like cat says) and everyone who wrote an angsty drabble this week should try to fix it next week! Everyone posts a link to their angsty drabble along with their new drabble that makes the hurt go away.
