Fun Fact - the title for this week's prompt is strangely similar to a working title for one of my fics. Razz

Also, yay JérxYu! I'll see what I can come up with.

Shadows, Rena, Snickie - love all of yours!

by RenaYumi Tue Jul 03, 2012 4:29 pm

Why thank you! I just wanted to make sure I could still do that, lol.

That was really good Snickie. Very creepy, and convincing as a nightmare. Not to mention that's exactly the kinda dream they'd have.

I really felt bad for poor Aelita.

by **Snickie** Sun Jul 08, 2012 9:48 pm

I used the best inspiration that I could get for this drabble: a 2-hour nap! During which I dreamed about some weird crossover between Hunger Games, Code Lyoko (Jeremie and Aelita were in it), and real life. It was really weird. But it gave me enough material to Aelitate it (I just made up a new word!). It took about ten, fifteen minutes to write. So for that to have an impact on people is pretty awesome. Thank you so much, Cya! Very Happy

Oh wow, that was epic, Snickie. I adore fics with surreality as a theme and the nightmare images here are super creepy. Like Cya said, that's exactly the kind of thing Aelita would have nightmares about. It incorporates all of her fears; losing her friends, the wolves, XANA and its monsters and, interestingly, Lyoko.

For my own drabble this week, I was surprised to realise I hadn't written anything with Clone!William yet, so here goes. This needs editing but I just wanted to get the idea down.

Nice, Soul! I think I'll take a crack at this one!

by Adventurer411 Mon Jul 09, 2012 3:25 pm

Done and posted.

by **Snickie** Mon Jul 09, 2012 4:17 pm

Vena, yours sounds a lot like it could go directly alongside mine. I'm not sure if it would come before or after, since you start with the scream and end with the sending of nightmares. It's like, super awesomely cool in that sense. Maybe you didn't mean it to be this way, but having my drabble in the back of my mind while reading yours added some dimension to both of them. Just...wow.

by Adventurer411 Mon Jul 09, 2012 7:02 pm

Wow, sniki, you're right o.o it's like mine goes right after/before yours. I didn't even read yours until now, and it's kind of weird how similar it is. But awesome too Very Happy

Oops, that prompt got away from me fast. I apologize for any amounts of feels I caused.

by Soul Jelly Wed Jul 11, 2012 12:51 pm

Awwww Rena ;_;

Quick note, everyone - some of you might have noticed that I'm beginning to do weekly round-ups of the drabbles on the XL tumblr. If you upload yours to ff.net or anywhere else and want that link in the round-up post, just add it to the end of your fic.

by cya6 Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:46 pm

what's the XL tumblr?

by Soul Jelly Wed Jul 11, 2012 2:18 pm

The tumblr for Xana's Lair. Link's in my sig, but Shadows/myself are posting to tumblr about events on the forum, etc. and also randomly reblogging/following active CL fans on there. Just a bit of extra promotion for the forum basically. Very Happy

by SeeMeInTheShadows Fri Jul 13, 2012 10:03 pm

Sorry this is a bit later than originally planned.

Drabble: #32
Prompt: Second Chance
Begin Date: July 13

by **Snickie** Fri Jul 13, 2012 10:41 pm

Aaaaaaand I just got ambushed by an onslaught of ideas. Very Happy

by Guest Fri Jul 13, 2012 10:49 pm

Remember when I used to do drabble challenges? yup... neither do I.

by **Snickie** Sat Jul 14, 2012 7:44 am

We allowed to post multiple drabbles for the same prompt? I just whipped out three of them...

by SeeMeInTheShadows Sat Jul 14, 2012 7:54 am

As of right now, no, but those extra drabbles may come in useful for a future prompt (that was almost this week's prompt before I decided to change it at the last minute.). Very Happy

by **Snickie** Sat Jul 14, 2012 8:35 am

Thanks for the info.

William feels a bit angsty... Wink

by SeeMeInTheShadows Sat Jul 14, 2012 8:40 am

Sniiiiiiiickie, I love it!

by Soul Jelly Sat Jul 14, 2012 5:03 pm

William is fertile ground for tending the ol' angst. Wink

Nice one Snickie.

Not feeling this week's but since I'm up and writing I decided to get it out of the way. I'm up for some concrit on this one - what do you all think? Is it easy to tell what's going on with purely dialogue?

by **Snickie** Sat Jul 14, 2012 5:28 pm

Thanks for the comments. Smile

Even though I'm not a dog person, I read your drabble, and I was like, =D So cute! I haven't seen very many Kiwi works out there (comparatively), and so this was a nice change and so well-written! <3

by cya6 Sat Jul 14, 2012 6:19 pm

Aw, so sweet Soul! And true, ya know. cause no way would anyone but Odd chose a dog like Kiwi. But he's such a faithful mutt! (Kiwi, I mean. Not Odd. Obviously...)

Vena: Kinda cryptic and creepy. I loved it, obviously, but it's also quite eerie.

by Kittyclaw Wed Jul 18, 2012 11:22 pm

Now look what you guys did, you made me drabble. Feedback = appreciated because I'm not sure how well I pulled off that idea.

Soul, you know I love you drabbles <3 And omgshVenamyfeels. That's incredible and Jeremy and whattt I want more. And Snickie, I second Soul in that William is fertile angst soil. And I like what you did with him. I feel like there's a story hidden in that drabble, wanting to continue it, and I want so much to shake your drabble till it spits it up.
