Young Royals Drabble Challenge Week 2024
Hello everyone, and welcome to the first ever Young Royals drabble challenge!
The challenge will take place between September 2-9 and the rules are pretty simple:
Pick a prompt (we are providing suggestions, but you don't actually need to use any of them).
Write a drabble - but attention! A drabble is a 100-word short fic. Exactly 100 words. The term has been popularized in fandom to mean any very short fic, but for this event, your drabble must have exactly 100 words - not 99, not 101, one hundred. Yes, we know that's hard. That's the challenge. 😉
Post it, tagging us — @youngroyals-events — in the body of the post and using the tag #YRDC2024.
Now, here are some additional guidelines and suggestions:
You can post the whole drabble here, or post it to AO3 and post the link on Tumblr.
You can post on any day of the designated week, and as many drabbles as you want.
You can post drabble by drabble, or more than one drabble at once. The same goes for posting each drabble as a chapter of a fic on AO3. However, we don't suggest doing either of these things, since tagging ends up confusing and makes it difficult for people to find or avoid your fics. Our suggestion, therefore, is to make a masterpost with links to all the drabbles you post here on Tumblr, and/or to create a series on AO3 for grouping your drabbles.
Explicit drabbles are allowed, but if you post the drabbles in their entirety here, please use the tag #NSFW as well - we'll be using the same one in these cases. You can also include additional tags and/or a warning at the top of the post. On AO3, the tags are at your discretion.
Yes, there is an AO3 community, here: Young Royals Drabble Challenge 2024
Yes, ALL characters are allowed - this is not a Wilmon-focused event, though of course they're always welcome. 😊
If you are looking for inspiration, you can choose one or more prompts from our one-word prompts list.
You can also choose one or more prompts from our dialogue prompts list.
Don't feel like deciding? Let the spinning wheel make the choice for you. Here for the one-word prompts and here for the dialogue prompts.
You can also reblog either or both of the lists and ask your followers to send you requests (including not from the lists). 😉
Alright, that's all for now. If you've got any questions, please comment or reblog on this post (that's easier for us to reply to at the moment).
