- You are allowed to cross-post your drabbles to other communities and journals (in accordance with their rules, obviously). Just remember to post a link to them to our comm at some point - you can either post as you're doing them or wait and post your whole table when you're done.
on making claims:
- For this challenge each participant is going to claim a single subject. This can be a pairing, a character, a fandom, etc (and for this challenge, picking a genre to write original fiction in is allowable). Subjects can be claimed by more than one person.
- Original fiction is allowed in this challenge. In addition, you can also claim a specific genre of original fiction, for example "original fiction - fantasy".

- Crossovers are permitted, but each crossover claimed must be unique.
- You can make a second (and a third and etc.) claim, but only after you've finished the first one.
- You can continue to make claims right up until the deadline.
