🌲🍃 Oz Drabble Tree, No Foolin' is OPEN!

Oz Drabble Tree is an annual drabble writing event open to all Oz fans!

👀 Head over to Dreamwidth to check out the rules & details!

✏️ The basic premise of the event is to create a branching tree of various drabbles (100-500 word fics), each incorporating words and phrases from a previous contribution however the writer sees fit!

🎨 This year, we've included photo options in the starting prompt. PLUS, we are opening the tree to fanart, if you're more artistically inclined!

ℹ️ NOTE: You do not need to have a Dreamwidth account to participate in the Drabble Tree!

Any genre, crossovers, and six-degrees-of characters are welcome too. Requirements are deliberately minimal, and there aren't any random assignments here -- choose the Wishes that you'd most like to grant! You are guaranteed to be assigned one of your top three picks. There is also a comment fic & art party that runs during the pinch hit period. Additional information available at the sign-ups link.
