This is Yuletide, everybody make a scene

[coalcube]

I am the sock with the tear-away face

Low-effort with your gift and gone without a trace

I am the "who" when you call, "Who does an exchange without acknowledging their gift?"
I am the wanker blowing through your fics comments
I am the coalie dragging your letter at night
Filling your exchange to the brim with fright!

This is Coaltide!

I haven't written anything since lockdown started, my writing skills are all rusty.

Would anyone be interested in a little coal drabble challenge to get back into writing before yuletide?

I'd post three themes or one-word prompts each day and coalies (including me, hah) could post drabbles of any fandom in response. Hardmode: actual drabbles of 100 words exactly.
Easy mode: short ficlets of something vaguely defined as short.

Yes/no/butt?

I would love this. Everything I've written recently has just seemed like trash, and it's hard to try fixing it alone. Writing drabbles along with other coalies could be a fun exercise.

Oh, I might be up for doing this! I've been badly blocked lately myself, too.

YES

can we stick the fics in the anon comm and post links instead of posting directly on-meme?

I feel the same way, OP, and I'm definitely a big YES for the drabble challenge!
