Re: A Little Drabble Do Ya (Reposted)

[colonial-teapot.livejournal.com]

For a period of time, anamaryarmygram and I engaged in an ongoing prompt exchange where every week we each formulated a prompt for the other to write (with about five days notice) a drabble based on. She has moved on to bigger and better things, but if anyone else would be interested in such an arrangement (or one at less frequent intervals - maybe biweekly or monthly), please let me know - I should be available at least through mid-August. I thought it was a great discipline that really stretched my creative wings.

Just to give you an idea, here are some of the prompts we exchanged:

• Someone else winds up in Mrs. Waverly's apron.


• Write a hurt/comfort with no dialogue or em dashes.


• For once, Illya is reluctant to do paperwork.


• One guy takes on the soup while the other handles the nuts.


• Write a piece based on, sequelling, or inspired by another author's work.


• Mr. Waverly is the only character.


• An Admiral English (or an admiral, English) is involved.


• Use the AO3 tag "Illya's Souffle."


• One of the guys must make a friend or idol decision.

I like a lot of these prompts! Would you mind if I tried some of them on for size? My life is in such flux now, I don't think it would be fair of me to say I would be your partner, but if I can get it together, I would like to try, just not now.

Help yourself! We always had a lot of fun coming up with them. If you're ever at a point where you'd like to do it as a regular thing, just let me know.
