Do you dabble in drabbles? Are your stories commonly under a thousand words? Have you ever succeeded in writing out a complete story idea in less than 24 hours?

Yes? You rock! This ATTF is for you! Go forth and have fun.

No? Then you need this experience! Come and drabble like crazy just to say you did!

This Friday, we're going to drabble up all the ideas. For this particular entry, we're going to call a drabble anything less than 1000 words (that isn't always the case but it's the number that struck me when I was thinking of this idea). Is there an idea that's been plaguing you and won't let go? Try drabbling it and see what happens. You might find that it makes a respectable drabble! Or, perhaps, it will loosen something and set you on the footpath up the mountain of the next epic masterpiece. Are all the ideas stuck somewhere far away from your fingertips and you aren't sure where to start the next story? Drabble the first idea that sparks your interest and see what happens!

First - the ideas. Here's a short list of general prompts. Feel free to leave prompts in the comments. For drabbles, it does work better if they aren't overly specific (although some people work better with specifics so feel free to leave both general and specific).

-midnight
-open all the locked doors first
-tangled threads
-right after the commercial
-blue cashmere
-ice cold
-at the very top
-the list
-where did you get that picture
-holidays
-a complete wardrobe
-so cold my lips are blue
-technology
-a full tank of gas
-shut the door
-a single tear
-on the edge
-how did you do that
-who says I didn't
-it's on a t-shirt
-flip you for it
-worst experience
-the perfect make out song
-stripes versus solids


Now - the fun part. Write a drabble! Post your drabble here! Revel in the sense of accomplishment! Then go and write another!

While you're waiting for an idea to spark, discuss your history with drabbles. Do you prefer to write short stories? Do you feel your ideas are too large for less than 1000 words? Which do you prefer to read. What are some Clint/Natasha drabbles that you love to read over and over again? Where do you go to find drabbles to read?

Most importantly, have fun with this!!!

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)
