Drabble Wrap-Up

Way back in August of 2022, we kind of stumbled into the idea of a monthly drabble challenge. It was more successful--and more fun!--than we could've hoped. But, as they say, all good things must end, and we retired the challenge with 2023.

But before we bid a final farewell, we wanted to share with you a brief wrap-up on the days of Developing Drabbles.

From 17 monthly prompts, 14 different authors joined in with 213 works; those works had over 40,000 views and received more than 6,000 kudos. That's a lot of writing and reading, and we thank each and every one of you who joined us in this challenge!

For this month's prompt of "term" for White Collar Developing Drabbles organized by @operationmorewhitecollar

Usually I get distracted by other things, but this time inspiration struck after I read the bonus drabble @enolaholmes18 posted this week

November Drabble

Welcome to November, friends, and to our penultimate drabble prompt. Can't wait to see you unlock your creativity (see what we did there?) in exactly 100 OR 200 words!

Drabble-versary!

That's right, it's been a full year since we started our #DevelopingDrabbles monthly drabble prompts! 🥳

We gave some thought to bringing the challenge to a close with the 12th prompt, but since we sort of haphazardly began in the middle of the year, we thought we'd carry on for a few more months and finish up at the end of the calendar year, especially since we're loving the entries we've been getting! That means there'll still be monthly prompts through December, and we're looking forward to seeing what else you guys have in store for us.

So, you know the drill, write us exactly 100 words (drabble) OR exactly 200 words (double-drabble) for the monthly theme, and then post it to the AO3 collection, and share it to your heart's content!

This month's theme: Learn.

October Drabble

Here we are in a new month, new quarter, new season, so we definitely need a new drabble prompt! (Or, a double drabble prompt, if you're feeling particularly wordy!)

This time, we're waiting to see what you can do with the word 'fair.' You're always so creative, we're sure to see lots of fun entries!

And, as mentioned a couple of months ago, we'll be wrapping up this particular adventure at the end of the year, so this marks the beginning of our final quarter of drabble prompts. So if you've been waiting to join in the fun, you're running out of time!

June Drabble Prompt

Welcome to a brand new month, y'all!

If we haven't said it lately (which we surely haven't, because we've not been around), we LOVE seeing the new drabbles roll in every month. Can't wait to see where this one leads us!

So, for the month of June, we're looking for 100 words (or 200, if you'd prefer to write a double drabble), using the word 'Proud.'

Let the drabble times roll!

September Drabble

Well, at least around these parts, fall is not really in the air just yet, but it is just around the corner. And, as always, a new month brings a new drabble prompt. For September, we're looking for drabbles or double drabbles (exactly 100 or 200 words) incorporating the theme of 'Term.'

School terms, terms of art, terms and conditions . . . whatever speaks to you. We're looking forward to the creations!
