McShep Match Warm Up Challenge - the Drabble Tree
It’s time for the first of our warm-up challenges here at mcshep_match!
The aim of this event is to create a drabble tree - a set of drabbles branching off from each other each based on words or phrases from a previous drabble in the tree.
To take part, all you need to do is write a drabble - you can find a great post on drabble-writing here, but basically they need to be 100 words long and include a word or phrase (or a whole sentence if you want) from any drabble in the tree. Then post your drabble as a comment in reply to the one you're branching from.
Whether planning to participate or not, everyone is welcome to take part - these challenges are for everyone to try!
You can write as many drabbles as you like as long they have 100 words exactly and they fit into the tree. Please post each drabble separately, even if you're branching off from the same drabble.
We don’t have a prize for our teams for this event as everyone will be claiming their fest prompts at sign-up, so the Drabble Tree is mostly for fun. There is a challenge still involved though - we will be posting a list of the top contributors at the end of the event!
We will leave the drabble tree open until Friday 8th June at 8pm GMT (When is that?) and post the list of top drabblers shortly after it closes.
The starting drabble can be found in the comments, please reply to it to start the tree off.
The prompt for the starting drabble was: space and time.
