International Drabble/Drawble Night - December 12 Years, 3 Months ago Karma: 32
DOKUGA CHAT’S DRABBLE/DRAWBLE NIGHTS
INTERNATIONAL EDITION


Drabble/Drawble Nights are a Dokuga tradition, but one in which it's not always easy for *everyone* to take part. Since we're an international community, I'm going to try running an International DDN on a quarterly basis. Morning for me is evening for folks on the other side of the world! I'll run these events with essentially the same format as our regular monthly DDNs. Eight prompts will be given at half-hour intervals. Participants are encouraged to write a 100-word drabble or create a quick sketch based on the theme and then share it. When you finish your drabble, post it directly to chat (assuming the rating is appropriate for everyone); links should be provided to art posts (again, mind your ratings).

International Drabble/Drawble Nights will start at 11:30 a.m. (Eastern). Dates and times will be confirmed here in the forums. The next scheduled Drabble/Drawble Night will be...

Saturday, December 17, 2011
11:30 A.M. (EASTERN)
USE A TIME ZONE CONVERTER TO FIGURE OUT LOCAL TIMES


A few things to keep in mind:
~All posts/links in Chat need to be PG13. If your drabble/drawble exceeds a T-rating, simply let the room know that you’ve updated your story/collection/gallery.
~The eight prompts will serve as clues to the night’s theme. If you think you know the theme, send me your guesses via private chat, but don’t blurt it out to the whole room. Give everyone the chance to figure it out on their own!
~FAQ – Does the drabble have to be exactly 100 words? If you’re asking me, then yes. It does. That’s part of the challenge, after all.
~When everyone’s posting drabbles to Chat, it’s pretty hard to keep up. If you want to read all the contributions, I suggest turning off ‘scrolling’ by clicking the arrow button over the right-hand sidebar. That way you can scroll manually and read at your leisure.
~You don’t have to do all the prompts in order to earn the participant’s banner. Even if you only do one of the prompts, you participated!
~Please save and upload the participant’s banner to your own image host (like PhotoBucket).
~If you can’t make it to Chat during a Drabble/Drawble Night, you can still take part. All the prompts and the participant’s banner will be added to the forum post. If you post your drabbles during the following day, you can still claim the banner.


Be nice. Play fair. Have fun!

POST-EVENT ADDITION:

The Eight Prompts:
~Lightning
~Thunder
~Dance
~Cupid
~Dash
~Comet
~Prance
~Vixen




I'm calling this our REINDEER GAMES Drabble/Drawble Night because the prompts were inspired by the eight tiny reindeer who pull Santa's sleigh: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. For those not in the know, Donner and Blitzen mean thunder and lightning! Congratulations to the ones who successfully figured out the theme over the course of the evening! ::twinkle::


THE NEXT REGULAR DRABBLE/DRAWBLE CHAT NIGHT IS SCHEDULED
FOR 7:30 P.M. (EASTERN) ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 2012

ALSO!
SKYE IS PLANNING A NEW YEAR'S EVEN DRABBLE/DRAWBLE NIGHT!
WATCH THE FORUMS FOR DETAILS!
~ SEE YOU THEN! ~

On the same line... maybe a 24-hour DDN can be held sometime... one would have to coordinate the hours between several mods or helpers to achieve it... but I guess it could be done 50 prompts!

I'd be happy to help out with a 24hr DDN, forthy, if you opt to try that some time. Maybe it could be like an annual thing. Like a BIG DDN that everyone waits for each year. You are DDN mistress so just holler at me with whatever help you need, sugar!

Kazu Hioshi claimed the Meido Zangetsuha of Sesshomaru at the Claim Game at Dokuga!

(Yes, I am quite aware of the fact that that sounds weird, but apostrophes turn into giant walls of slashes, and that cannot be permitted XD)

Who was your hero today?

24 hour DDN?

I think we can make it work. It'll take some coordinating but it would be fun! I'm in to help host. Mods and admins will sit and chat and figure out if it's doable

Aww. I do want to participate, but I'll still be on a plane back home at the time. Anyway, it'll start at 12.30 am here, which is a little too late/early to be up for me The 24 hour DDN sounds really fun though!
