Drabble Fest

[siberian_skys]

You can either choose from the public card options or make your own cards from whatever list you want or use any card you want. This is a good time to finish a card that has been sitting around undone. This is meant to be a stress free fest. There's enough stress this time of year. You don't have to strictly stick to the definition of drabble. It's your choice. Pieces can be actual drabbles from 100 to 500 words in 100 incriminates or you can write short stories 500 words or less.

Winter	Summer

Maybe a dumb question, but are these open to non-fandom topics and art too?

- Cobalt Amber (he/him)

[siberian_skys]

Sure. :-)

Yes ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

They are. Most of what I write is original work. Even if a given fest is targeted for one fandom, you can use it for others or nonfandom works. Occasionally we get a host who only issues banners or other perks for fandom fills, but most are anything goes.

I didn't do the New Adventures bingo when I ran it, so thought I'd do so now:

Lord of the Flies	lighting	Midnight Bell
rose	prince or princess	choreography
story	hero or heroine	Romeo and Juliet

[siberian_skys]

Very cool idea. I love your bingo card. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

[fadedwings]

I made a card from various prompts I liked from a variety of bingo cards I didn't end up doing anything with this year :D

I made a card! I love writing Drabbles so this challenge is perfect for me!

[siberian_skys]

Very cool. I hope you enjoy this fest.

Might try the first Public card.

But quick question, are Drabble Sequences allowed?


As defined or explained by seasonsofdrabbles, it's a set of at least two drabbles within the same continuity.

[siberian_skys]

Of course. Those are fun.

Yes ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Per community rules, you can do whatever you want with your card. Individual hosts can set rules for banners or whatnot in their fests. A Drabble Sequence would work great with the "Diamonds and Dynamite" achievement, where all the works are small ones.

Done!

[ysabetwordsmith]

My card is here. I used some of the sample prompts.

I also made some of my own prompt lists, inspired by drabbles being small works.

Sayings
The ant goes under the fence that stops the bull,
For want of a penny a nail was lost,
Good things come in small packages,
Harmony makes small things grow and lack of it makes great things decay,
If you cannot do great things then do small things in a great way,
The little things amount to big things,
No step forward is too small,
Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs,
Notice the small things because the rewards are inversely proportional,
One sees great things from the valley and only small things from the peak,
The pen is mightier than the sword,
Perfection is no small thing but it is made up of small things,
Small things start us in new ways of thinking,
A stitch in time saves nine,
Without water drops there can be no oceans,
