Nemo, darling, I love you to pieces.

Don't we all?

Awwwwww. Thanks you guys! *huggles Aubrey and Shorty until they both go

So, now that everyone knows us judges will use infallible logical means to ensure you post at least one drabble, you better do it!

*glares with that scary mommy eye*

Oh no! The dreaded mommy glare!!!

Wow, Mark. Just... Wow...

I would also like to mention that the accumulation of just some of Mark's posts in this thread alone have added up to over 100 words. So instead of posting about why you aren't submitting a drabble yet, why don't you just save your time and words and post 'em?

*chuckles at Mark and waits expectantly* Well...?

I maintain that there are other variables at play here which make posting the drabbles a hassle.

However, I finally got around to posting one of the drabbles, and should have another posted soon.

I went to post one drabble and ended up posting two. Now I'm back to an odd number of submissions.

Then do another!

I've done three so far.

"Other variables." I see... and what might those variables be, Marketh?

The fact that my drabbles are written on a computer that doesn't have Internet access and the simplest way to transfer them is to retype them.

I'm lucky to have a thumbdrive...

Keep 'em coming!

Already?! *faints*

Time flies when you're posting drabbles...

This contest ends at midnight tonight, by the way.

So if you have last minute ones to finish off, hurry and get them in.

NotThatShort · **Joined:** March 7th, 2012, 2:08 pm **Posts:** 2809

I'll see if I can whip up another. XD

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** May 24th, 2012, 4:43 pm

Thanks to everyone who entered.

It was amazing to see lots of people involved in this! The contest is now closed, and judging will commence. Hopefully you guys will learn of the results near the middle of next week.

Muchly muchly muchly muchly fun!!!

I sent a homeschooling friend of mine the first drabble I wrote. Then he sent me a drabble he wrote after I explained what a drabble was. Yesterday when we saw his family again, his mom told my mom that "we are just loving Elizabeth. I just gave up on getting him to write anything but now she's inspired him!" He wrote three drabbles and has over 200 words started in his own book!

Congrats, E! That's a great feeling.

Danko Sandai · **Posted:** May 26th, 2012, 10:08 pm

That's awesome! I wished to submit more of my horrible tries at drabbles, but I fell sick for awhile and couldn't sum up the energy to write one(Or go on the computer for that matter).

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** May 26th, 2012, 10:10 pm

See E, you are so amazing.

You just inspire people!

I also had a lot of fun. I compared the whole experience as a sort of antiNaNoWriMo. Instead of focusing on quanity of words it forced you to focus on the economy of words. It really helped get me out of a NaNoWriMo mindset and into one of editing.

Oh no!

I was wondering where you went. Are you feeling better now? I've missed you!

Andrew Amnon Mimetes · **Joined:** May 14th, 2010, 4:43 am **Posts:** 4458

Agh! I missed the contest?

Lady Katharina · **Posted:** May 27th, 2012, 4:50 pm

Andrew! How could you?

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** May 27th, 2012, 4:57 pm

If we have an HF one, you shall have to join in, Andrew.

You are active over there, after all.

Lady Katharina · **Posted:** May 28th, 2012, 6:13 am

YES! A HF drabble contest would be awesome! And I will make sure Andrew knows about the next one

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** May 28th, 2012, 8:15 am

Katie posted some excellent statistics over on Sci-Fi about the contest, guys.

Lady Katharina · **Posted:** May 28th, 2012, 12:16 pm

Yes! I saw the stats. They were awesome. I hadn't even realized how many drabbles I wrote

!

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** May 28th, 2012, 6:40 pm

You guys are so awesome! There were so many amazing drabbles, I so enjoyed reading them.

Thanks for entering so many!
