To the lifeonmartha Mad Drabblers....
How amazing are you? We have 374 drabbles under our belt. In a week our members have written over 37,400 words of Awesome!
Huzzah!
In addition to the fabulous icons and banners (go grab yours now!) we are also going to host a little challenge within challenge. Just to shake things up a bit. ;)
For the next 24 hours we're hosting: The Sound of Music Drabble Challenge Challenge!
For this challenge you have to write a drabble based on a song title or song lyric. This is NOT songfic (i.e. please don't randomly quote lyrics in the drabble - if used at all they must be part of the dialogue) but rather song inspiration fic. This idea is inspired by puipui whose prompt of "Some call me a space cowboy, some call me the gangster of love" had me laughing out loud. So, in addition to that LOLarious prompt, here are a few more to get you started:
1. He was a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater (Title)
2. You had me many years ago, when I was still quite naive (You're so Vain)
3. My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble (Title)
4. Oops, I did it again (Title)
5. Test transmission, is calling me back home (Test Transmission)
6. I'm bringing sexy back, those other boys don't know how to act (Sexyback)
7. Everything you own is in a box to the left (To the Left)
8. And you know sometimes words have two meanings (Stairway to Heaven)
Okay, I have to stop. I'm crying here.
Dig out those broadway lyrics, Backstreet Boys, Sex Pistols and anything else you can bring to the table - there is no shame!
Mark your clocks and....GO
REMEMBER - POST YOUR DRABBLES TO THE ORIGINAL 1,000 Drabbles of Awesome post.. Do NOT post them here.
Have fun!
