The First Ever Oz Drabble Tree,
The Return of Oz Drabble Tree,
The Little Oz Drabble Tree That Could,
Are You There God? It's Oz Drabble Tree,
Oz Drabble Tree Knows Best,
In Oz Drabble Tree, No One Can Hear You Scream,
This Is An Emergency Oz Drabble Tree,
Please, Sir, May I Have Another Oz Drabble Tree?,
Leggo My Oz Drabble Tree,
Come With Oz Drabble Tree If You Want to Live, and
Waiter, There's an Oz Drabble Tree In My Soup,
The Ides Of Oz Drabble Tree,
Oz Drabble Tree Gives Love a BAD NAME!,
The Good, The Bad and The Oz Drabble Tree,
Wherefore Art Thou, Oz Drabble Tree? The Rules
1. Oz characters, please. Crossovers with the usual suspects are also welcome (SVU, Wanted, Homicide, Fringe, Lost, The Wire, The Unusuals, etc).
2. Het, slash, gen. Any character or pairing. It's all good.
3. Drabble (100 words) is a suggestion. You won't get shanked if you do a double drabble or it runs a bit long.
4. Your drabble must be posted as a comment to this entry.
5. Include a word, phrase or sentence from a previous drabble in the tree. Put it in the subject line and bold it in your drabble.
6. You can riff on any drabble in the tree. Just reply to the drabble you're riffing from.
7. Write as many drabbles as you want.
8. Drabbles only, please. No comments. Show your appreciation by jumping off someone else's drabble.
9. You can leave comments for the writers at the announcement post at oz_rapsheet.
10. The Drabble Tree will run for a week or two; if there's enough interest, we'll keep it running longer. When it's over, post your drabbles to your own LJ and/or archive them.
11. RPS is allowed; please put RPS in the header of your drabble. If you don't want to read RPS, then pay attention to the headers. (Apparently, LJ had their subject line back! Yay!)
12. Have fun! :D
Starter Ficlet:
Miguel set his tray down across from Beecher, who was in typical prison pose: hunched over his food with one arm forming a protective barrier. He kept his head down.
The cafeteria was Lardner beige instead of the dreary gray of Oz. It was easy to pick out the few Em City faces, and Unit B mugs from the crowd. Ryan came arrowing toward them, cutting across the room like a shark
As Ryan took the seat next to Beecher, Alvarez said, “Heard you got into a fight yesterday.”
Beecher looked up, one blue eye glittering with rage, the other swollen shut.
Ryan said, “We Ozzies gotta stick together.”
Looking back and forth between the two of them, Beecher slowly nodded.
“Fine. Who do we take down first?”
