You have to write 100 stories about a character and in each of those 100 stories there has to be something in the short story mentioning the word you have to include. There are 100 words to be included in separate stories.
Im taking part and Im writing 100 drabbles on Sir Nicholas. lol. | |

I'm writinga Draco/Hermione fanfic. I was writing like mad when I first started it, but now that school has started, I don't get a whole lot of free time to update! I have the major plot points outlined in my head, and the more specific points for the next big chunk in my head, as well. I just have to write it! LOL. And I need to start on my drabbles! Is anyone in here taking part in them? | 
Yeah, the poem rhymes nicely, MJ. Severus ought to have got Lily ...  *hexes James  *
Drabbles ... 
*runs ahead to find out what they are* Quote: |

Yup! There's a new forum in Grimmauld Place called the Snitchseeker 100.
A drabble is a story of exactly 200 words. And there are 100 prompts; 100 words to base a drabble on. You pick a character (claims are listed in the 2nd post of the Snitchseeker 100 thread, post to claim a free one or one not in the list) and write 100 drabbles about them. I snagged Severus first (perk of being the one setting it up). The results are in my SS100 thread, linked in my signature.
I so love him. *sigh* Quote: |

The only real problem is how ADDICTIVE it is!! Seriously. Reading others' drabbles is SO inspiring. A couple members write all 100 of theirs within the first week. Insane. | |

Hehe....I haven't even started mine (though I've been dared to post my first one, so I'll be posting it tonight! I've read only a few others, but they were really good and I am actually excited to begin writing my Draco/Hermione drabbles!
Oh, and this is completely off topic, but if there are any Draco/Hermione shippers in here, please PM Teena if you are interested in supporting a Draco/Hermione thread in The Seven Seas shipping forum! We still need 7, the last time I checked, so we need all the support we can get!! | |

I've got Drabbles for Arthur and Molly, it's been maybe a week and I've got something like 54 of them done. And addictive isn't really the right word for it anymore LoL! I think all consuming would be best to describe what happens when you read and/or write them. Jan, your Sevvie Drabbles are some of my favorites, along with Imi's and Nabs', I lurve dem!! Imi and Cookie were the first two to finish their drabbles in, what, one or two days Jan? I've got a siggy idea, I'm just waiting on it to be finished so I can request the change. It's really great too, I found a pic of Molly and Arthur (drawn) while still at Hogwarts, I can't wait to see it finished!! Ok, now I'm just rambling I'm going to go now..... | |

Drabbles are quite fun. My only problem is that I don't like pbulishing my own works, to me, they're never good enough ...  | |

Awww...I'm sure they're alright. Reading other work by FF writers helps a lot in developing your style. That way you learn what you like, and what you don't.
The drabbles are really addictive. I'm just relieved I don't start uni til January! Or else I'd have a mad time trying to work around my drabbles. | |

I have Fred and George and I have not really even started. My problem is that I want to get to detailed and have to cut a 500 words story down to the 100 words that it was supposed to be before I got crazy. It is harder than I thought keeping it at 100 hundred words. I have been checking out some of the others and they are really good. | |

Well..with drabbles, there's no room for details. So what writers usually do is go for character development as opposed to plot. | |

hugs,
sue | That's really cool Sue! I can't wait to start reading those.  Are you going to tell the "stories" from Beaky's point of view? Wish I'd thought of taking on one of the creatures....hey I wonder if Hedwig is taken yet??? *runs off to drabble thread to check* Darn! She is taken! Ooh I'm going to go look at that list again, I want to see what other critters may or may not have been taken. *hehe* | |

woot! looks like I have to keep an eye out for all your drabbles!
Nabs: hehe, thanks for you encouragement. Everytime I read over a story I just have to change something. and then again and again. If my colleague wouldn't peak over my shoulder from time to time and force me to send it out, I wouldn't even get my articles published.... | |

Guess what I have been doing... I have been searching for a way to brighten up the day of my SS friends and I think that I have found it do you want to see what I have for you today? *Opens up her hand and out pops a link* http://www.veritaserum.com/
This will take all my friends to the very first set videos from the OotP yeah I hope you enjoy. Added bonus they have Tonks and Moody in them. When you get on Veritaserum you will see Video from the set or something to that effect. Under that you will see the words
Take one...
Take two...
Moody Tonks and ...
Dan between takes.. Just click on each of these to veiw different clips and I hope that you enjoy.
I have looked at all of your drabbles and I have posted like four there are some of you that will be done in a week. What I have read so far are excellent.

They've since taken the links to the videos down, per WB's request. Guess they're trying to keep OotP under lock and key! Shame...... But thanks anyway, Oona! Wish I'd gotten to see them!
And MJ, I haven't looked at the creatures lately, but if you wanted to write drabbles from the point of view of one of them, perhaps Fawkes, Pig, or Crookshanks? I don't know if any of them are available, but just a few suggestions! | |
