are drabbles named after Margaret Drabble?
I always assumed it was from "drab" meaning almost nothing, as in "dribs and drabs."

Teppy, that's a great idea. Maybe this will provide me with motivation to write again.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I just submitted one. Actually two, but went back and wrote the second one in a hurry, because I completely missed the post with the specific challenge in it.
Duh-OH, deb

Because books.
I just joined. This should be fun. One hundred words is probably the most I can write at the moment, with Princess Crankypants not napping much...

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Sounds like a great idea, Steph. I'm in.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Make sure to check the actual journal also, and not just the info page, because I posted the first challenge already, even though it will normally be posted on Mondays. Provided I remember.

You sure did, and they're damned good words, too.

Teppy, it just occurs to me - should we post them here?
I mean, fic gets posted in the fic thread; should your original fiction drabbles be posted here?
