Drabble Day: Posting guidelines, theme, and rules Almost there, lovelies - Drabble Day starts this Saturday (3 October) at 12pm GMT! As in previous years, this will be a multi-fandom challenge - all fandoms, pairings, characters and ratings are welcome, including original stuff and crossovers. Give us crack, angst, character studies, canon repair, AUs, paincake, fluff, dialogue or smut. We wants it all, precious - as long as you can pack it into 100 words! And now for this year's theme... *drumrolls*  DON'T WORRY. We won't make you write about hair for 24 hours (although if that's what you want to do, go right ahead)! We've done our best to choose prompts that, while hair-related, also cover a variety of other meanings - for example, if you get a prompt like "tips," yes, you can absolutely write about Giles having a midlife crisis and getting his tips frosted, but you can also do anything involving fingertips, or tippy toes, or girlslash for Tipping the Velvet, or Spartacus giving Pietros self-defence tips, or Bronn and Tyrion having a tipple, or Ginny Weasley working a burger joint for minimum wage plus tips, or... you know what, I really wish we'd picked "tips" as a prompt right now. Point is, anything goes - we'll accept even the vaguest association, either with the prompt or the banner. The Rules:
- The challenge lasts for 24 hours, from 4am PST / 6am CST / 7am EST / 12pm GMT / 1pm CET / 10pm AEST / 12am NZST on October 3, 2015, until the same time on October 4, 2015.
- At the top of each hour, we’ll post a drabble prompt here in the Drabble Day asylum. You will have until the end of the challenge to write a drabble based on that prompt. The only rule is that your contribution must be a drabble. NOTE: A drabble is 100 words, not including the title. No cheating on this one, peeps, it’s pretty much the only thing we’re firm about. (Also, I seem to recall some people counting words manually last time, which sounds like Purgatory, tbh. If you don’t have MS Word, please use an online word counting tool like Word Counter.)
- Post your drabble as a comment to the prompt post. Please put the name of the fandom and the characters/pairing in the subject line so people will know what they’re reading.
- You can write as many or as few drabbles as you like. You can write multiple ones for the same prompt. You can write one for every prompt. You can write one single drabble for the entire day. Whatever works for you.
- The challenge will close at 4am PST / 6am CST / 7am EST / 12pm GMT / 1pm CET / 10pm AEST / 12am NZST on October 4, 2015. No drabbles will be accepted for the challenge after that (although you’re still free to continue writing them for as long as you want).
- Drabble sequences, double/triple drabbles, etc. are totally okay, as long as you don’t abuse that to write a single drabble longer than 100 words.
- ???
- PROFIT!!! (ok, profit means mostly getting to read other people's drabbles and throwing glitter all over everything, but that totally counts!)
If you have any questions, please let us know in the comments! Otherwise, enjoy some more gratuitous hair porn and come join us on Saturday!

And so it begins... Drabble Day, Hour 1: Spikes! (plus bonus prompt: Tips) Welcome to the 3rd sometimes annual Drabble Day! We're about to post the first prompt. Take a quick look at the rules again – there aren't many, but please heed the few there are: (1) Post your drabble as a comment to the relevant prompt post. As all fandoms are allowed, please put the name of the fandom (and the characters/pairings if you wish) in the subject line to avoid confusion. (2) You can write as many or as few drabbles as you'd like, as long as you post them within the next 24 hours – the challenge ends tomorrow at 12pm GMT. (3) All drabbles must be 100 words exactly. Drabble sequences (double/triple drabbles) are allowed, as long as they are true drabbles. And our first official prompt is: SPIKES! ...aaand because it seemed like such an easy one, have TIPS as a bonus/alternative ;)  HAPPY DRABBLING EVERYONE!
