    Time Event
    12:58a
    Drabble Day Hour 20: Razor
    Are we all still alive out there? Your mods are holding it together somehow barely and the end is in sight. This hour's prompt is designed to stir your muses or disturb your sleep. Feel the touch of the...

    2:00a
    Drabble Day Hour 3: Fair
    Yay, you guys are doing great! We're making serious grabby hands at all your shiny contributions. Keep 'em coming!

    Also, since the hours are apparently always extra-short on Drabble Day, here's your next prompt already!

    2:52a
    Drabble Day Hour 22: Sheen
    Of all living creatures in Middle-earth, the Elves are the most beautiful and gifted. You know what that means for Drabble Day, Y/Y? That's right -- nobody does sheen like the Elves do sheen!







    3:59a
    Drabble Day Hour 5: Roots
    Hi, can't stay, gotta drabble, gotta read. Have a prompt because I'm sure you're all not busy at all!

    4:51a
    Drabble Day Hour Fucking 24: Wig
    Jupiter's Cock, we're almost done! Gratitude to all who have honoured this incarnation of Drabble Day - and to anybody who wasn't able to write drabbles, remember that comments are love and gold and chocolate all rolled up into a cuddly kitten of rainbow joy. Please just drop a quick thanks when you enjoy something you read.

    YOU GUYS TOTES ROCK!!!!

    And finally, we humbly offer your last prompt:







    6:00a
    Drabble Day Hour 7: Streaks (+ bonus prompt Cut)
    Carry on lovelies. Your mods are stuck in an accelerated time vortex but we're sure it'll all come right in the end. Send drabbles, it's the only way to save us!



    Have a bonus one as well because we were clearly insane when we made MORE THAN 24.







    6:00a

    We hope you've enjoyed this crazy time! It's been 24 hours of madness and mayhem (and unspeakable amounts of caffeinated beverages) and everybody who's participated will be dripping with extra sparkles for the entire year.

    Aside from the sheer number of drabbles we had (especially in the wee hours - what are you people thinking?) We had a spectacular number of fandoms represented, many old standards but just as many new and unfamiliar. Thanks to you all for sharing your creativity and imagination in such new and surprising ways!

    We'll have a final masterlist and fandom/drabble count tomorrow in the future, after your mods recover. While they won't be included in the official count for 2015, you can still add drabbles for any of these prompts at any time. And of course, you can always leave a comment That would be cool.

    And now, we bid you adieu. Mods out!
    8:00a
    Drabble Day Hour 9: Groom
    Amazing stamina, people! You guys are rocking this thing! Keep 'em coming.

    And for your latest prompt:



    (two banners because Spartacus has too much good hair, lol)

    10:00a
    Drabble Day Hour 11: Beard
    HOW ARE WE NEARLY HALFWAY??? I think my bloodstream is pretty much 80% coffee by now.

    No rest for the wicked. You know the drill!



    Have a terrible pun as well. #sorrynotsorry

    12:00p
    Drabble Day Hour 13: Bad Hair Day (+ bonus halfway prompt: Hats & Ribbons)
    HALFWAY, LOVELIES!! Your mods are currently stumbling around in semi-delirium and have no idea how we're going to maintain this level of insanity for another 12 hours. OH I KNOW. IF YOU COME AND GIVE US MORE DRABBLES. (and maybe set up a coffee/wine drip. yes.)

    Anyway, time for some crack:





    Bonus prompt because I crave girlslash and/or period:

    2:00p
    Drabble Day Hour 15: Dreads
    I think this would normally be the past-halfway slump but we see no slumping! Everyone's on fire and bringing it and we love you for it. CAN'T STOP THE DRABBLING!

    This hour, give us some Penny Dreadful, dreadful puns, horror, Dread Pirate Roberts, or y'know, just play it straight.

    4:00p
    Drabble Day Hour 17: Locks (+bonus prompt: Red)
    Still coming down from all the delightful crack! Let's have something fairly mellow for this hour (but don't fall asleep, we need you for another 7 hours after that!):



    Bonus prompt brought to you by the power of OH HEY LOOK PRETTY:

    6:02p
    Drabble Day Hour 19: Part(ing)s
    Welcome to Drabble Day: The Witching Hour. Everything's quiet, everyone's exhausted, and the timezones are a fucking mess. It's about 74 o'clock on Neverday and you've forgotten how to talk without counting words.

    It's all good. Relax, sit back and listen to some HAIR-y inspiration. There's no rush, you've got hours yet to fill those missing prompts.

    Talk to us, lonely hearts. And by "talk", we mean "empty out your tasty brains in exquisitely phrased 100-word instalments."

    Your prompt for the hour, unless you want to go with anything HAIR-soundtrack-related, is:



    Need more inspiration? Have some throwback heartbreak with Tom McRae and For the Restless (and who might they be if not us?)
    8:01p
    Drabble Day Hour 21: Bald
    ...how many nights have passed since we started this? idek but surely we can keep it up for just 4 more hours!



    Additional Oenomaus is highly necessary *shifty eyes*

    10:00p
    Drabble Day Hour 23: Grease
    PENULTIMATE PROMPT, people! \o/ We are extremely super-proud of all our lovely participants - you've been so crazy prolific and wonderfully supportive of each other's contributions. You're all absolute fucking stars!

    And now... let's do this one more time! *Nicki Minaj singsong* (yes, and then one more time after that, we can count. kinda. not that well anymore, tbqh).





    (a.k.a. what happens to your face when you basically spend 24 hours non-stop drabbling.)
