I'm very sorry that I haven't been around at all for the past few days, it was madness at the shop and my workload was through the roof just trying to keep up with the rate that customers were buying everything. Recession? What recession?
Now that the Xmas crush is over, hopefully I will be able to check this thread out every day. I'm going to enjoy catching up with all the drabbles everyone has posted.
But you still finished up first and I bet people could start use a few new prompts by now.
Thank you very much for stepping in, Nick.
Congratulations to MonkeysTotallyRock, and thanks for the prompts! I shall update the first post.

AchikaMiyu got all the drabbles done first, so she gets to choose the new prompts for K to O.
One day, I'm going to find the time to actually write SOMETHING. XD;; Sorry I haven't contributed yet, work's just been busy. But, it has been wonderful reading all of your drabbles, everyone.

Mulled Wine is pretty obscure, pretty hard for prompt. Maybe you could replace it with a holiday prompt more connected to the Japanese holiday celebrations and traditions like: temple, New Years Cards, Toji (Winter Solstice), card game (there's a specific matching card game that was traditionally played during the holidays where you try to match up parts of famous poems, but a general card game prompt would open it up more broadly but still hint at the association), good luck, etc...

I'll admit, I know nothing about Japanese holiday celebrations around this time of year. I do; however, have experience with mulled wine. Very tasty and highly recommended. I didn't want to throw a softball and use mistletoe. I wanted these to be a little challenging because that's part of the fun. At least I didn't do something like manger or myrrh. That would have been cruel.
Kim, try thinking of the Nutcracker ballet. That's where I got inspiration for the prompt.

Hope to see some more drabbles from other people.

And what's wrong with that? After all, I'd love to see some more drabbles.

Well, here I am to keep it alive.
For me the lack of inspiration was that most of the prompts have been too distant from a good relation to Naruto and too western culturally dominant in focus- they just didn't spark any "Naruto" related creativity for me. Now had they been prompts for Buffy and Spike (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Rogue and Gambit (from X-men comics), or Guy and Ice (from Justice League comics) totally different story. I know several times I thought, "hmm that makes me think of Spike and Buffy/Rogue and Gambit/Guy and Ice..."

Some of the prompts are more universal than others (i.e. Decorations, Gifts, Icicles, Kiss, Lights, Parties, Traditions). There's no rule that says that you have to do all of the prompts or do them in order. Maybe you could start with "Kiss" and then go from there.
Also, don't limit yourself to thinking that if the prompt is more in tune to western culture, it could never fit into the Naruto relm. This is where you have to get your creative juices flowing to try and see if you could make it work. Most of them fit with the western notion of holidays because that's probably what everyone is more familiar with. These prompts can be AU as well. I know that there have been a few prompts that have already been written that took place in the Naruto-verse, so it can be done. Just takes a little imagination.
Of course, you could still write prompts with Buffy and Spike, I just don't know if you could post them here.

For a moment, I was imagining Sakura leaving with the punch bowl on her head. It's a bit out-of-character for her, but a great visual.
Gambit/Guy?
I don't read yaoi, but I'd almost have to try reading that.

You gave me the big laugh of the day. Gambit having a fling with a man, I could see that (ala the fling David Bowie and Mick Jagger had, with Gambit being the one more like Bowie.... Guess that makes Guy Mick Jagger

Or "resolutions". Promise of a Lifetime and Sakura's own resolution to herself in response? And then their subsequent resolutions.
Yeah, but I'm not really seeing Guy as Mick. Mick doesn't have that jock vibe. Maybe Bruce Springsteen, but the politics is off. Or a country artist.
