One down, two or three more to go!

[True]

*shoots self for writing so much fluff*

I can't believe I actually managed to write two of them....

But still it was a great thing to place my cross overs so thats awesome!

Nice drabbles everyone! I enjoyed reading them. This was a really fun idea!

EDIT:

AH Denim you copycat bastard! Don't think you'll be able to match me in Bleach crossovers! After I'm done with Bleach, there are more anime/manga girls to come! :teehee:

A question for you all about voting...would you all like to be able to vote once...or twice?

[Derock]

I think twice will be good.

That way we can decide which one will be in the final top 3.

[True]

Wait I'm confused. I thought we voted only once for our favorite three drabbles.

This is a little idea that Denim, Yoko, and I brainstormed together. It's pretty much just a weekly drabble contest, where you have a choice of 5 different themes to write from...you write your drabble...post it...people can read your drabble, and vote during the week for the top 3 drabbles that they like the best. ..and at the end of the week the drabbles with the most votes in a separate poll that I put up, will win

So why would we vote twice? Or is it we vote for our favorite six?

No. Normally in contests you are only allowed to vote once for your favourite story. And the story with the most votes would be ranked # 1, with a # 2, and # 3 story selected as runner-ups, from the remaining group.

What I am asking is if you all want the chance to vote not just once but twice, as say for example there is a drabble that you really, really like but there is also another drabble that you equally like, and you don't know which one to vote for. Having two votes would give you the opportunity to vote for both drabbles, which would also increase the chances of some drabbles which may not get a vote, to receive that vote, and have a higher chance of placing in the top 3

Conversely, I also realize that some people may use that second vote to vote for one drabble that they like twice, which is why I am asking for you guy's opinions on whether we should allow everyone to vote just once, or to give that opportunity to vote twice. So please speak up, and let me know in this thread, yes or no, whether we should have two votes or one, ASAP, because the first voting poll goes up tomorrow. Thanks for the participation everyone

Hmmm...I guess I don't mind the two votes idea. I mean...if anyone votes for the same drabble twice, then they just have no honor, and should be hung up to a tree by their toenails for a whole week... anyway, I don't really mind either way, though I think the two votes per person idea would be cool.

[Jwolf0]

I think two votes per person is good, Sakura-chan. If someone tries to use it to vote for the same drabble twice, you can always ignore the second vote.

[Sakura Blossoms]

Thanks for the input guys

And polls are now open!

Hehe another week of great drabbles! I love getting all these little plot bunnies out of my head by writing them down XD! These themes look awesome to! OMG one of them is touch? Oh ho ho now that is going to be fun! :teehee:

Hmm I think I'll continue pairing Naruto with Bleach girls for now, and maybe even from the Narutverse! Then some new anime/manga girls!


Thanks Shauna and Vyse for continuing this fun project. Really sweet idea!

[Denim88]

Well, I have to say I like these themes. I'll try and make something worthwhile out of them! :thumbs:

[Rix the Very Affectionate Lego!]

Can someone here please tell me what drabble is, and does it HAVE to have a pairing?

[Denim88]

A drabble is a short little fic within 600 words (at least for the contest). It can be about anything that has to do with the themes given.

Also, it doens't have to be a pairing based fic, it's just what has been done for most of them. If you want, it can be about a single character, or a group of characters. Hope that helps.
