The Advent Calendar of Christmas Drabbles

Welian, what on earth have you done this time?!


Well, my children, this is exactly what it says on the tin – an Advent calendar of Christmas drabbles.


I have no idea what a drabble is.


Oops! Drabble is slang for a casual piece of writing. It could be a poem, a short story, a long story… I picked it up from the fanfiction community.


And Advent?


Advent is a religious thing: it’s basically the Church’s pre-Christmas celebration, approximately four weeks of meditating on the meaning of Christmas, the arrival of Jesus Christ, and – well, I’m not a religious scholar, so I won’t bore you with the details. The important thing is that people like to give each other THESE bad boys:

An Advent calendar! It’s a box with little flaps, and every day, while you count down to Christmas, you open up a flap and have a piece of chocolate.


You can’t give chocolate over the Internet, welian.


Well… no. But, I can do something else!


What?


I can give you… writing prompts!!


Uh…


Just trust me on this, guys. It’s a fun writing challenge I try to put together every year for my roleplaying friends. Every day, you check this calendar to see what the writing prompt is. Then, you post a drabble responding to the prompt! I try to give people special prizes for posting one every single day, but this isn’t a site contest so I don’t have any fancy badges. All I have for you are bragging rights. Maybe buttons for your signature. We’ll see.


What’s stopping us from reading all the prompts ahead of time?


Delayed self-gratification and good sportsmanship. Other than that, nothing. All I ask is that if you decide to cheat and write the prompts ahead of time, that you wait until the proper day to actually post them.


And we post them… here?


Yeah. Since this isn’t an official contest, I’m not going to make separate threads for entries and info.


This is dumb.


Shut up and eat your chocolate.

Keep going! You can post your late drabbles too, you just can't post future ones.

That's the (Christmas) spirit!!

One more question: does it matter who we make the drabble about?

 

[welian]

Not at all. If you use a roleplay character from a specific story, it might be helpful to link to the RP for a bit of extra context. Buuuut, it doesn't really matter.

So, I could use real life people and maybe an OC for a drabble? (Ex. Ashton Irwin from the band 5 Seconds of Summer and an OC that I used for a fanfic a while ago.)

 

[The Creator Prime]

Is it finally time for me to reveal what I got, lol?


Will I have the possibility of winning something?

Yup yup!

Nah, this isn't a site contest. This is all me. That being said, I'll probably make buttons for people who post a certain number of drabbles.

 

[lashton]

Okie, thank you very much!!
