We're pretty excited about Draco's upcoming birthday!
It's not every day a boy turns the big 3 0.
Of course, there's a Big Bang planned - which got us to thinking - wouldn't it be fabulous to do something special here at dramione_ldws that would lead up to (end by) and generate (more) excitement for the Bang?
Which brings us to: Draco's Birthday Invitationals Rumble.
There have been six rounds of dramione_ldws, which equals six "winners."
The "winners" have been invited to participate in a five challenge Rumble, which will start **May 1st**.
Six times Five equals Thirty, get it?
Each of the five challenges will feature a re-worked prompt from the previous rounds (excepting Round Six, which just ended). These challenges will be posted every Saturday in May, with the final results being posted on June 5th - the day the DBB goes live - Draco's Birthday.
Our participants are:
Round OneRound Two

Round ThreeRound Four

Round FiveRound Six

Since this is a rumble, there will be no weekly eliminations. Because of this, we would encourage you all not to skip a week, as the more you write, the more points you will get. The more points you accumulate, the more likely it will be that you win.
Points Chart
Turning in drabble: 1 point
Turning in drabble first: 2 points
Each MF vote: 1 point

In a perfect world, each of you has the potential to earn 11 points (or more) each week, for a score of 55 points (or more).
In OUR perfect world, the readers, voters and lurkers ALSO have a chance to win. By predicting the rumble top three!
Just enter your top three in the poll below before the results of the first challenge are posted on May 8 (Noon eastern time, give or take) and root your choices on! Who knows, you could be the proud winner of an extra-special sparkly banner!
Poll Round 7 Predictor Challenge
Author-Participants, feel free to participate in the poll - your votes will NOT be counted in Predictor Challenge, but may be used to embarrass you at a later date.
And speaking of sparkly, our graphics gal, kali_elecktra went nuts making comm icons. Feel free to snag a few, but please be sure to credit Kali (and mention pimp where you got them from)!
So, get your noisemakers and candles ready! Put on those party hats (we can't let Draco look like a dork alone)! Sneak a taste of the buttercream frosting and leave a prezzie on the table by the door! We're counting down the days until our Dragon's birthday!
