And now, some fun art -- one above & two below the cut!

So sorry, everyone -- I was too busy and then too without internet access to post anything I meant to! So here is the list of the Drabblers, as promised, finally. (I'm sure I've missed somebody somehow, my apologies there too!) I've also asked magician114 to post the Exchange reveal, since she's probably more sure of who ended up doing what plus I'm obviously ( Read more... )

...here's the Christmas Eve prompt, our last Drabble Day for 2017. (I'm not ready, not in any aspect of my obligations, which is why among the drabbles below you will not find one where Blair is humming "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" all Christmas Eve day and making Jim nuts because he's thinking of it as a New Year's Eve song and that Blair ( Read more... )

You guys! *hugs you all* I'm actually all choked up looking at this day's post. We have a great set of drabbles that really get at what I was thinking when I said this for today's prompt: "Family and/or Friends (or 'friends as family,' whatever you're comfortable with ( Read more... )

Can I just reuse pieces of past years' Solstice posts to introduce us today? :-) Apparently so, with only tweaks to a few numbers. :-) Check out that tag for lots of great pieces from the past -- very educational as well as entertaining (e.g., my own solstice ficlet from 2009 is such a 1) personal favorite & 2) good explanation of the solstice, ( Read more... )

...but no one said it was easy. ;-) Gifting inspired our wordsmiths and we have *eight* drabbles tonight (two illustrated), including one serial picking back up and one serial (picking back up and then) concluding, and five pieces of stand-alone art. My apologies for the delay with it -- crazy day (not bad, just long), and I didn't already have ( Read more... )

In keeping with yesterday's American/British discussion about costume party vs fancy dress party, today's prompt is one that I gave two of the very many terms that there are for decorations that you hang on a Christmas tree... I think the top three are 'ornament,' which is the most generic, & the top American choice, as best as I can tell, 'ball,' ( Read more... )

I feel like I've used that subject line before, but when I search for "party" in my "Prompts Past & Present" file, I don't even see it... who cares, anyway ( Read more... )

Have you ever pondered, or researched, or been sure you knew, what the first name of "Mrs Claus"/"Mrs Santa Claus" is? Check her out on Wikipedia -- I'm not even going to list all the names she's gone by in various books/movies/etc., and she's had about as many tasks & traits as she's had names. I'll admit, I'm of the age/background that 'Jessica ( Read more... )

I've 1) had the Barenaked Ladies' 'Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah' song playing in my head since I start putting this post together, and 2) probably used this subject line before because that's probably happened before, but I'm uninclined to care check. :-) What can I say, I really like that song ( Read more... )
