I like short fiction, but that's because I'm lazy and put off writing anything substantial.
I miss the prompts and drabbles we used to do here.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Because books.
We tried them again and no one came.

I know. I miss having prompts. Maybe if we called it flash fic, instead, with a 500 word limit? Or, post a bunch of prompts all at once and peck away at them over a month or so? It was a lot of fun when we had a lot of people doing it on a weekly basis, but I think a lot of those folks have either dropped off the board or quit writing.

I'm still here, still writing (praise be), but I do think a lot of the audience/participants are elsewhere.

I just don't have the time or energy for drabbling. Wish I did, that was fun.

Or some combination where some prompts are reserved for drabble and others for flash fic.
I would participate. Selfishly. Writing in front of this talented group of writers forces me to be better.

Exactly. And it's go at your own pace, you don't have that pressure to DO IT NOW. Well, that may have just been me.

Because books.
Mondays are my day off -- I'm happy to post prompts on Monday, some for flash fic and some for drabbles (although I think drabbles work better for this board particularly). I miss writing them, too, although I'm never as good at it when I'm the one prompting!

You know what? I will make an effort. Mondays could use some kind of structured break to think about not-work.

I'd be happy to knock out a few drabbles.
