Oh, this is a great idea! I threadsucked the GWW threads and read through all the drabbles and missed the quick bursts of creativity they inspired.
The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
I'd like to do drabbles again too. Good idea!
I am not a writer but I loved reading drabbles
Amy, had you thought about cross-posting to the GWW LJ comm? It's still there, I think. And we got some cross-polination from it. I have no investment either way, just mentioning it.
Amy's post in Press reminded me that I haven't been here in a while. I'm not a writer and yet the drabble fun sucks me in to the point of participating from time to time.
Also, since I just read the recent stuff - Woos and Hoos for Dana and Sox!
I wish I still thought I had that part of my head. I don't know what I did with it, though.
Maybe it'll wake up.
Amy, had you thought about cross-posting to the GWW LJ comm?
If I remember, I might. Thanks.

Make of that what you will, and post them!
The sunrise is still tinting the sky when he calls his children into the kitchen. He takes out a bowl and starts mixing things into it, For waffle batter, though the kids don't know it yet. They just think his doing in anything in a kitchen is enough to pay attention to.He mixes in an egg and checks his work. Satisfied, he says, "Your mother likes those toaster ones," he tells his daughter, who watches everything. "but we know better." His kids have never had a waffle that didn't come out of a toaster while their mother gets ready to go to an office. They know they like syrup and the way the toaster sounds when they pop up. It was the man's own mother that was the cook with the little touches, that, even though he hasn't lived in her house for fifteen years, he still misses.Maybe that is what he is thinking of when he brings the finished product to the table and says "See? Light and fluffy."
