Week Three Prompts
Welcome to Week Three of the second round of mp_ldws! Voting was ridiculously close this week and sorting it out just about gave one of your mods an ulcer! And just quickly before we get on with business, in order for your vote to count, please remember to include the name and number of the drabble you are voting as favourite/least favourite. Thank you!
Week Three Prompts
This week, the prompts are:
Genre/Cliché: Lie Low at Lupin's (your story must be set in the time between GOF and OOTP when Sirius was told by Dumbledore to 'lie low at Lupin's'. What happened once he got there?)
Word: furry
Word Count: 300 words exactly
Remember, your drabble must fit the genre or cliché, and you must use the word prompt somewhere in your drabble. Any drabbles that don’t adhere to the exact word count, deadline, or prompt use will be eliminated. (On some word processing programs, html coding is included in the final word count so please be careful to ensure your number of actual words is correct. If in doubt, please use this word counter to check.)
Teams
Teams for this week are as follows:
Team Moony
ali_wilde
gorthead
whitmans_kiss
escribo
lotherington
writerofictions
Team Padfoot
anothersaturday
danikos_realms
dragon_gypsy
chlare
eprime
huntingsnarks
You must write from the POV of the character whose team you are on each week or you will be asked to resubmit your drabble or be disqualified. This is not a permanent allocation so please check for your name each week.
All drabbles are due by 7.00pm Sunday 27th (EST--think New York), and there will 2 eliminations this week - one from each team.
We are using a simplified header. Please do not make any reference to a beta as we will not publish their names (you can thank them later!). Please use the 'Contains' section for any warnings or to provide any information a reader might need to make an informed decision about whether they wish to read on. Eg: Contains: angst, oral sex, naked Hagrid.
Copy and paste this header for your drabble:

Send completed drabbles to the mods at mp.ldwsmod@gmail.com, with your username and the week you're participating in included in the subject line. The drabble can be submitted as an attachment (.doc or .docx only please) or pasted into the body of the email. If you do paste your drabble, please ensure you include < br > codes (without the spaces) wherever you want a hard return as copypasting tends to mess up your line breaks. For example:
"Just a little bit more... That's it! Oh, yes, right there, Moony!"
< br >
"I've never seen anyone so excited about rearranging the furniture."
We will respond to your submission email to let you know we received it. If you don't hear from us within 24 hours of submission, please let us know through a PM.
Any questions? Poke the mods: dogsunderfoot or remuslives23 either through the email address above or a PM through our journals.
Happy drabbling!
