100 words in 14 days

Hopefully no one minds that I've moved our prompt rounds to begin at an ungodly hour on Monday morning in a close-to-last timezone. This guarantees everyone the full weekend to post last minute drabbles before rounds close. (Or it provides something new on Mondays to help you procrastinate on doing real work.)

Base on results from our survey this round is the first that is not in sync with the LJ version of FF-Fortnightly. We are currently in need of new prompts so please suggest prompts here.

Our prompts for Round 48:
98: Genderswap
99: Dexterity
100: Forgiveness

Posting: Round 48 will be open between Monday, May 9 and Sunday, May 22.

As always, we look forward to your 100 and 200 word drabbles. Additionally, you are welcome to "chain" one prompt or "stitch" multiple prompts. See the community profile for more info.

Some of us are trying to figure out what is best for this community and what will help it attract other DW-based drabble writers in Final Fantasy fandom.

This community was originally created as a mirror for the active ff_fortnightly on LiveJournal. Given that (a) this community has been sort of quiet and (b) neither the community moderators nor the members clearly overlap, it feels like a good time to consider how prompts are selected and how having the same versus different prompts might affect community participation.

Anyone with a DW account is welcome to vote. It doesn't matter if you haven't yet contributed a drabble to this community.



Feel free to post comments below and/or tell other DW-based drabble writers in Final Fantasy fandom about this poll.

Thanks!

No, we weren't dead. Just resting … and back! Much news as we start our next round.

First, the prompts for Round 47:
95:   Jealousy
96:   Transportation
97:   Gifts

Posting: Round 47 will be open between Sunday, April 24 and Saturday, May 7.

You can post to ff_fortnightly on LiveJournal or ff_fortnightly on Dreamwidth. The fortnightly archive post will list drabbles from both communities.

As always, we look forward to your 100 and 200 word drabbles. Additionally, you are welcome to "chain" one prompt or "stitch" multiple prompts. See the community profile for more info.

DW-Specific Announcement: Three Weeks for Dreamwidth starts on Monday, April 25. Posts tagged with threeweeks will show up in the 3W4DW Feed. If the DW drabblers wish to participate, please review the festival intro post (from last year).

New LJ and DW Moderators!
I'm excited to announce that we have many active volunteers who'll be helping with various aspects of community moderation on the LJ and DW versions of this community.

LJ Mod Team: fluid_static, green_animation, heaven_monument

DW Mod Team: birgitriddle, threewalls, vieralynn

The mods will engage in behind-the-scenes coordination and tidying up over the next few weeks. More news to come…

Fortnightly Drabble Archive for Round 46
( 3 Drabbles on DW FFF )
( 18 Drabbles on LJ FFF )

Title: A Poorly Chosen Disguise
Fandom: FFXII:OGC
Characters: Ashe, (Vossler)
Rating: G
Prompt: 94:Disguises
Summary: Ashe used to daydream of sneaking away, but daydreams rarely mesh with reality.  (A double-drabble vignette).


( Walking freely in Lowtown, Ashe wants to feel invisible. )

Welcome to Round 44 and welcome our new Final Fantasy Fortnightly DW Mirror!

Posting: Between Tuesday 9th November and Monday 22nd November.

Any previously used prompt can be recycled as the basis for a new drabble. Look at the tags list for all of the tags numbered 01 through 88 -- any of these prompts are fair game for the next two weeks.

New Cross-posting Information: Post your drabbles to one of either our LJ community or our DW community for FF_Fortnightly community archiving. You may post an advertisement link in the other community. So, if you post your drabble in the DW version of this community, you can (if you wish) post a link in the LJ version of this comm. The master list of drabbles created at the end of each round will include all drabbles from both the LJ and DW ff_fortnightly communities.

( Some more info on the DW mirrow )

As always, we look forward to your 100 and 200 word drabbles. Additionally, you are welcome to "chain" one prompt or "stitch" multiple prompts.

What's chaining? Pick one of the prompts for this round and write a series of 100 and/or 200 word drabbles that chain together to tell a longer story. Each drabble should be able to stand alone. You can post the chain of drabbles in one post, making clear where each drabble ends, or as separate posts with hyperlinks connecting them together.

What's stitching? Select as many of the prior prompts as you want. Write one drabble per prompt selected such that your series of drabbles stitch together to form a longer story. Each drabble should be able to stand alone. You can post the series of drabbles in one post or as separate posts with hyperlinks connecting them together.

A giant round of applause for the authors of these 15 drabbles! \o/
