Appeal for Drabbles!

[nursedarry]

Hello!

First, happy birthday to the multitude of people on my flist who seemed to have birthdays in the last few weeks and also to the many whose birthdays are coming up. Keep an eye on your "in-tray" :)

Now, *holds hat in hand* as many of you know that the hp_uk_meetup is 3 weeks away and we had approached the lot of you to ask if you'd like to contribute a drabble.

We mostly need h/d now as I've managed to talk a bunch of my unsuspecting non-fandom friends into give a try to writing the other ships.

These drabbles are to be given out to the participants. They can be anonymous or you're more than welcome to put your name to them. And obviously, after the meet-up (2-4 Oct), please feel free to post them on LJ.

All you need to do is write the thing if you will. That means SHORT (I'm talking to you bryoneybrynn)! And anything goes. If you want/need a prompt, there's a bunch at the end of this post.

If you're happy to help us (pleasssssse), just email it to me jweiss at tulanealumni dot net by 30 Sep and we'll print it on posh parchment and tie it up with a ribbon for the goody bags.

Many, many thanks for all of your help in this should you choose to write!

Prompts:

Big Ben
sight-seeing
pizza
quiz
King's Cross
shopping
double-decker (or Knight) bus
wine/alcohol
House colours
London Underground
guide book
Muggle money
familiar strangers
travel

[Edit]: Under 500 words (we have some that are 150 and some that 500) and any rating!

And just for dysonrules, in case those prompts were too tame, here's another list:
cherry stem, pierced glans, fingerless Quidditch gloves, chocolate pudding, salad dressing. Happy now???

If you just need drabbles, even from people who aren't going to the meetup, I can send you an H/D one. :)

Yes please! I'm appealing to my flist for drabbles - we'd rather they came from people who WEREN'T coming to the meet-up, in fact:) So YES!!!! Cheers!

I wasn't sure if you'd seen my post; thank you so muc for the birthday booze! :D <3 :D

I want to come ::huffs:: You're going to have the bestest time, be sure to take many, MANY pictures XD.

I'll help. I love writing drabbles.

Exactly 100 words or a little bit of play?
Any rating?

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Ah, good question- I posted it earlier but forgot it here. Any rating and if possible, under 500 words, but really, anything will do!

[lolafalola.livejournal.com]

One more question. Since this is going to be a UK hook-up, will these need to be Brit picked as well? If so, know of any Brit-picking betas?

Thanks!

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

I'll do it:)

[lolafalola.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

How many would you like? When is the deadline?

(Gee, I wish I could think to ask all my questions at once.)

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

And I should have put all of that in as well- fixing now! 30 Sep, please. Depends on how many you want to write! I've got a couple of other pairings if you get bored with H/D:)

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

Now you're making me rethink my whole story. LOL!

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

*gropes*

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

*snogs* I'll send it to you for BETA. LOL!

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

Woo-hoo!

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

Wait. It HAS to be under 500 words?

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Well, we've got one that's 250 and another that's 500, but if you feel you just can't manage that...knock yourself out! LOL!

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

Woot! I don't think I can keep it that short. O.O I'll see.

[cassie-black12.livejournal.com]

Just checked - The longest one we've had so far is about 1200 words. Write it as long as you like - if it ends up being really long, I will selflessly take it myself :D

*is so self-sacrificing*

[phoenix-on-ice.livejournal.com]

I am also oh-so-self-sacrificing and willing to steal accept faithwoods novel "drabble" lol.

[cassie-black12.livejournal.com]

Hands off!!

*smacks fingers*

[phoenix-on-ice.livejournal.com]

*sobs* aww...

big meanie!

;D

Hello! Talking about something unrelated here! Remember me telling you Hotmail is evil and closed my acc? Well, that means I could still log in to paypal and pay but I didn't get the notification email... So did you receive my payment? :D?

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Sure did! Thanks, doll!

[alovelycupoftea.livejournal.com]

It's only three weeks away?! *boggles*

*starts sewing like a crazy person*

My kids have some trousers that need taking up too! Hee hee!!

You're the goodybag goddess!

[femmequixotic]

Under 500 words? *eyes self* LOLOLOLOLOLOL. :D

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

My friend just sent in two more under 200 and they're amazing! If you hold her down, I'll stab her;)

[delphipsmith]

Yes, I am fabulous, aren't I? Nyah nyah nyah :P

[being-here.livejournal.com]

I wish I could go. Stupid start of term weekend. *mutters*

I will write something though.

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Thinking of having another in late spring. Tell school to give you time off! They should appreciate the importance of this!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Yay!

I'm so close to being done with my Art Fest entry! I'll be finishing it up tomorrow, and then I might take a two day rest before doing the sketches.

But I can't wait to do them! Seriously, I've been itching to play around but I couldn't let myself get distracted from the Art Fest entry. :D They might turn out to be more of a speed paint than a black and white sketch. I'll see what I come up with!

♥ !

*starts scribbling*
I had not forgotten that Cassie asked me about this last month. I would not do a thing like that. I've just been...cogitating...that's all!
*nods vigorously*

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Of course, of course. *nods sagely*
