Questions and Suggestions

[badly_knitted]

 

Here's where you can ask any questions, make suggestions for future prompts, request community affiliation or ask to pimp your community or fest.

Please be patient if you don't get an immediate reply - I'm sole owner and mod at present, and I'm taking part in a lot of other writing challenges, plus I do need to sleep occasionally ;)

Anyone interested in becoming a co-mod, please leave a comment below.

Also, anyone who would be interested in creating a community icon or two, please reply below, because I really do need something to pretty the place up! I'd like a general community icon and a community mod icon, I think.

Tag requests should go on the Tag Requests post.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. At worst you'll probably just have people like me worrying about you. And people who aren't professional worry-warts (and who are generally good people) will understand that you have a life, and those that don't understand that can just... go away. <3

I'm trying not to stress, but it's a big responsibility running two communities single handed. Nobody seems willing to volunteer to help out. So far I've managed, but you never know what life will throw at you.

Thankfully, members are generally lovely people =)

Does the community have an AO3 collection?

[badly_knitted]

Not yet, but I might look into that when I can spare the time and the brainpower.

I have a question: I've recently written a drabble for 100 words but I'm also writing a longer piece that includes those 100 words. Can I still post the drabble here? (for the next amnesty round lol)

Also (for future drabbles, especially the amnesty ones). Can I post those to my account before I put them up here? I don't want to have a huge backlog of prompts to format and post, it'd make it easier for me if I already had the post ready on my own journal...



...this is also me assuming that I can work on amnesty prompts (but not post them) outside of the actual amnesty week.......... is that allowed?

[badly_knitted]

Yes, yes, yes, and yes *grins*

Posting to your journal and leaving a header and link here is fine, and you don't need to restrict writing for amnesty to the Amnesty weeks, you can write whenever and just post links here during the amnesty week. You can also put several headers and links into one post if you have a lot to link to. instead of making individual posts for each one.

You'll find there are very few (if any) restrictions around here; I just want people who enjoy drabbling to have fun with the prompts.

Go forth and drabble!

Nice!! Thank you for your swift reply and the clarification. <3

You were lucky I happened to be answering my emails when yours popped up. I should have been in bed at that time of night but I was still wide awake!

I just want this community to be a relaxed place, so pretty much anything is allowed unless it's specifically mentioned in the basic rules. Even posting a few days late for a challenge is fine. I'm a very laid-back mod ;)

Hi,
I scrolled the comments and I don't think I've seen this asked before... hopefully I didn't miss it.
During amnesty weeks is it allowed to use multiple prompts in one single work?
For example, I have a double drabble that fits 2 of the past prompts.
Can I use both or should I choose just one of them?
Thank you in advance, have a nice day. :)

[badly_knitted]

You can use as many prompts as you like in a drabble, just remember to tag with all the prompts you use. Awesome that your drabble fits two prompts. Well done! =D

Happy drabbling!

[veronyxk84]

Cool, thank you so much! 😊

[badly_knitted]

You're welcome!

Hello there, I have a 200-word drabble I've written for Three Sentence Ficathon that also fits the prompt for this week (#436, "Mud"). May I post it here as well, or should I keep it separate?

[badly_knitted]

Post away, that's brilliant, well done! As long as it fits the post, it's fine. Never a problem with combining challenges, even if it technically wasn't written for this one =D

[topaz_eyes]

Thank you very much! :-D

[badly_knitted]

You're very welcome!
