TtH Drabbles

For those of you who also post to the Archive Of Our Own, I have created a new collection over there for TtH Drabbles. I thought it might be a good time to do so, since we're in the first week of the 2011 Drabblefest.

It's a bit lonely right now, with only my old drabbles in it. Please consider adding your drabbles to the collection, if you have them posted on the site; I know at least a couple of you are over there. (Just type tthdrabbles on the collections line when you edit/add the story.)

And if your fiction isn't on AO3, I do have an invitation to give away.

(And now, back to your regularly scheduled drabbling!)

If you've played before, you know how this works; this is the time every year when I throw the annual fic fest, complete with prizes.

The rules are simple. Write as many drabbles for the challenges here as you can, between now and my birthday. That's March 10th, though I'll be officially closing it on the 14th this year, six weeks from now. And for every author who writes six or more drabbles-- that's only one a week!-- I will write a minimum of 1,000 words of fiction in my fandoms, crossover or not, centered on any character you choose. And there's more. For every drabble you write over the six-drabble limit, I will add 100 words to that minimum value.

I'll give weekly status updates; then, the weekend it closes, I'll post a list of what past winners have received and put up a claims post for you to make your requests.

I'll post the new challenge, the first of the Mod Birthday Drabblefest, in a moment. (Remember: I will not accept for the fest any drabble not related to that week's specific challenge. No anticipating amnesty week. Sorry!) Leave any questions related to the fest-- this one, or past ones-- here, on this post.

2 drabbles were posted for challenge #99, gifts, in 2 crossover fandoms.

Thanks to starshinedown and idontlikegravy for playing.

challenge #100: down for the count

Haven't we done a hurt or hurt/comfort challenge here yet? You can go as dark or fluffy with this one as you choose. Just write 100 or 200 words about your chosen character(s) being taken out of commission in some way: flu, twisted ankle, wounded in a fight, any other interpretation you can come up with. As a reminder, any crossover(s) between the greater Buffy-verse (Buffy, Angel, comic seasons, Fray) and another fandom will be welcomed, but please post each drabble behind a cut, and tag your posts. Be creative, and have fun!

This challenge will run until JANUARY 15.

(HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!)

0 drabbles were posted during the long amnesty period. Sorry, guys; I got busy and sort of forgot about this place. But since the Mod Birthday Drabblefest will open again in only another six weeks or so, it's time to start warming up those writing muscles! (I have most of the previous award requests written; I'll post a full "past winners story list" before January 23).

challenge #98: not again!

This one is pretty self-explanatory, I think. Just write 100 or 200 words on the prompt! As a reminder, any crossover(s) between the greater Buffy-verse (Buffy, Angel, comic seasons, Fray) and another fandom will be welcomed, but please post each drabble behind a cut, and tag your posts. Be creative, and have fun!

This challenge will run until DECEMBER 18.

64 drabbles were posted for challenge amnesty week, in 26 crossover fandoms.

Thanks to graycardinal, kerravonsen, starshinedown, kerrykhat, emony2, avamclean, idontlikegravy, r_becca and maevebran for playing.

challenge amnesty will continue for one week; but the competition is done!

Winners, start thinking about what you might want to request! Whatever you ask for has to be a one-shot, though it can be related to any of my previously existing fic, if you like. Your request should include: one character or pairing; one prompt/phrase; one fandom or cross of fandoms. I'll put the request post up later today.

This year's list of eligible fandoms includes any of the following fandoms (which I've written in the last year): B:tVS, Angel, Dresden Files, Star Trek XI, Eureka, Die Hard, Boondock Saints, Fast and Furious, CSI, Hancock, Dr. Horrible, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Harry Potter, DOOM, Firefly, Push, Transformers (Bayverse), Leverage, Tin Man, Castle, Jurassic Park, Showdown in Little Tokyo, The Mummy, Death Race, Pride and Prejudice, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

( Here are the final standings: )

Thank you guys, so much! It was a delight to read your entries this year!
