It's time for our Drabble-a-thon! We had an excellent drabble-a-thon last time, and we're very excited to bring it back for round two. Check out the rules, pimp it to your flists, and get ready to drabble!

Rules

1. Your mods will post a prompt every hour, on the hour.

2. The prompts may be anything that your autocratic mods choose - a word, a character, a quote from one of the books, song lyrics, a quote from another source, a picture, anything.

3. Long prompts and photo prompts will be placed under lj-cuts, but anything that is shorter will appear outside of a cut.

4. Drabbles must be exactly 100 words (not counting title and header information). Drawbles should be quick sketches, approximately 15-20 minutes worth of work or so.

5. You may produce as many drabbles or drawbles as you choose, for as many prompts as you choose. If one prompt inspires you - you can write or draw five, or as many as you like. If the next five prompts don't speak to your muse - no worries! It's all about having fun.

6. All kinds of drabbles and drawbles are accepted - het, gen, slash, any pairing, any genre and any rating. We do ask that you post accurate warnings when necessary.

Drabbles and drawbles can either be posted in their entirety as a comment to the prompt or you may post them to your own journal (IJ only, please), then post a link in the comments - be sure to include the header information and any necessary warnings when you do so. For NWS drawbles and NC-17 drabbles, please post them to your personal journal under an lj-cut and make sure that the warnings are clear in the header info that you post in your comment.

7. Please use the following header for every drabble you post:

Title:
Author:
Word Count:
Rating:
Pairing:
Prompt:
Warnings:
Disclaimer:

and the following header for drawbles:

Title:
Artist:

Rating:
Pairing:
Prompt:
Warnings:
Disclaimer:


8. We encourage you to write and post your drabbles this weekend, but late entries will be accepted all though next week.

9. Read the other interpretations of the prompts and leave comments and love for your fellow drabblers ... and above all, have fun!

10. We'll post a masterlist of all submissions and also create a gift for the person(s) who created the most drabbles/drawbles during the weekend and the week following.

It's going to be a lot of fun! Pimp this to your flists, clear your schedule for this weekend, and sharpen your pencils!

Feel free to use the following banner and icon if you wish when pimping or participating:

Please also note that posting for the fest will be suspended over the weekend so entries don't get lost among the 48 prompts posted.

Any questions? Feel free to comment here or email us at festmods at yahoo.com

Thanks!

Hi guys,

As previously announced, submissions for our drabble-a-thon, which has been a great success so far (thank you again to all who participated!), will close at midnight EDT. So you still have a few hours left to submit those last drabbles.

On Monday we’ll post a Masterlist, and we’ll also announce the winners.

Thanks again, everyone, for your enthusiasm!

Okay, that's it, the last prompt for the Drabble-a-thon has been posted. We've been pleased and amazed by your wonderful and creative responses to them, so far. Thank you all for making this event a success!

We also want to thank two volunteers who made a huge difference, helping us post the prompts and making the drabble-a-thon run smoothly: snapesgirl and ivylady, thank you both so much!

It's not over yet, though. You can still continue to write drabbles for all the prompts throughout next week, but make sure you post them before this coming Friday at midnight EDT to be included in the competition. We'll compile a masterlist and announce the winners shortly thereafter.

Thanks again, and we hope you keep watching and commenting on the wonderful fics and art that have yet to be posted!

Forty-sixth prompt:

Hagrid's Hut

Forty-fourth prompt:

Don't dream it's over

Fortieth Prompt (a blast from the 80s):

"Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you"--Heart, "Alone"
