I LOVE that song. XD

When I get the chance, I'll throw something of use in this thread.

I support drabbles, drabbles can do everything and only require half the thought, in other words we still get to be lazy.

*wince* That's why I avoided the drabble thing... Drabbles, good drabbles, are -hard- to write and require quite a bit of thought to fit a whole, coherent event into 100 words. Unless you're just lucky, drabbles should require a lot of thought to produce...

At least, in my perfect world. ^_^;;

I don't do 100 word drabbles. It's 300-500 words. And they are difficult. I don't think I do a good job with them at all.

I'm not good with drabbles... Actually, I suck at drabbling. I'm unable to write a coherent 'anything' withing a 100/300/500 word limit.

A opt for #3! A single-themed fanfic. My eyes lingered on the citrusy option, but then I remember we do that for Valentine's, so Xmas should be different. Plus, I've always thought Xmas is more of a 'let's cuddle' kind of season. Dunno.

Neeway, just pleeeaaase! No drabbles!!!!! *on knees*

But I love drabbles! I can do drabbles! They're fun! For me they require less thought and planning.

*remembers Just A Small Demand was originally supposed to be a drabble*

Hrm.... But still!

I envy you, wicked! Very seldom can I write fics without thinking them out in length beforehand. @.@ Plus, I'm too wordy for drabbles!

I'm with you guys who can't drabble. I sucketh at them.

Hmmmmmm...Cuddling for Christmas. And so...it was.

Heero: BUT WHAT ABOUT MY 12 SEXUAL POSITIONS IDEA!
Rose: That's going to be for the holiday-holidays. Like...what I'm thinking is Thanksgiving to White Day or something like that.

Is that too long, do you think - for a citrusy challenge? I'm not sure I want to do the church of lemons again. I took a lot of grief for it the last 2 years, and really wasn't planning on running it in 2005 (because I worked my ASS off the whole month of Feb 2004), unless the number of people who WANT to do it far outweighs my objection (like last year).

What do you guys think (for the citrus thing) - 3 months of 12 themes regarding different sexual positions? Or a one-month (Feb) long pledge drive to solicit a lemon a day?

Oh, and for the one-theme X-mas Challenge, I think we're going to do cuddling as the theme. Now, we just need a title.

Oh, and Caliborn - did you think of any lines to work in? We could still do the peace and after-war deal by way of a line or two that the authors must work in.

3 months of twelve themes... *Squint; does the math*

*Does more math*

*Still doing math* ... So that's like a new theme every week?

^_^;; That works!

And lines? I don't know! I am putting my brain to work on UA now! :eek: You can't cattle prod me to two things at once!

I think I'm confused...

1. Wicked: You can't drabble either!!! What are you talking about!! NO DRABBLES!!! Your drabbles far exceed the limit! Wicked, say no! Vote NO! NOOOOOOO!!!! *faints*

2. Twelve themes? Hold on! Cool your jets, people! I'm working on few brain cells right now! I'm currently working on a ficlet for the 12 1xR themes of Christmas... The one with the cocoa for two... You're referring to that? *is veeeery confused*

3. Twelve positions? Tempting. I could SO go for this instead of the Church of Lemons challenge. More time. Ha! Though, it's still by pledging dates, right? I work better with deadlines.

4. Xmas cuddling!! Season 1xR Cuddling! Yay!! *bounce* Let's cuddle! It's cuddle time!!

I should make a list of the fics I'm currently working on and the ones I'm signing myself up for without previous thought. Stupid, brain-dead Andrea!!

*is very much dead*
