Drabbles

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I'm sort of fixated on drabbles recently.  We've been enjoying them by the bundle over on ff.net, and I highly recommend that you go there and visit if you haven't already.  
Now, how many of you who don't frequent that site would be willing to write a drabble and post it here?
One hundred words, related to an episode perhaps, suitable for our public relations/propaganda responsibilities.
Don't think of it as a challenge, just something that will be welcome if you decide to drop it into your file.
And don't turn it down just because you don't write regularly.  It's fun.

I tried my first drabble last night, in keeping with my plan to try out every style. It was hard! Exactly 100 words--wow, what a challenge. I enjoyed the porcess, and will definitely try a few more.
The drabbles over at FanFic are wonderful. I'm amazed at the variety, and the skill of the writers. We MFU fangirls are a creative bunch!

Feel free to post your drabble here. I'd love it all of our drabbles from ff.net ended up on lj at some point, they're all very well done. I think they are a great tuning skill for word usage.
If you want to post a drabble that's already completed, let's just start a new thread for each one... each writer take your own space for your work, just like you would post anywhere else.
I hope everyone tries a drabble.

I have been considering having Carriage Hill Press create a drabble zine. Maybe we could do one on-line? People could send you or me their stories and then we could publish them as an ezine like Incognito. It would be open to all to read.

I like that idea. There are really nice ones going on over at ff.net and they are being posted as chapters of a continuing drabble series. Because of that, they're looking themed, tying them all together.
I'm inexperienced in zines of any type, so let me know what to do and I'm in. If it's just a matter of submissions, here is good, tagged with drabble. I can announce it here as well once you have a plan.
Unless, of course, this is the plan ;) Fill me in please and I shall go forth.

Could we do it that submissions are sent to you, but not posted, like we do with Down the Chimney? Then I can collate them in the zine and we can post it all at once.

Or, if you'd rather, you can let stories be posted and then I'll collect them for future readers. It's your and Carabele's contest, so it's your call.

Artwork or screencaps are nice too.

Yes, that works. Would people send them via PM, or is there a way to have them post without it.. posting? Not sure about the mechanics on some of these things. PM me if you want, and we'll work it out. I like the sound of this.
