Okay, since no one has posted the next challenge yet, I took the liberty to create one. The prompt for the next challenge will be "metamorphosis". Interpret it however you want; you can even throw in some Kafkaesque reference if you like (you don't have to, of course).

The official deadline for the next challenge will be in two weeks, that is, March 20. Hopefully this will give you plenty of time to write.

Have fun!

As the time limit I posted last night has expired, I'm going to post the poll for this contest. If you have suggestions for the next challenge, please respond to this entry or send me a private message.

Poll #1358080 Challenge #17
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Which entry would you like to win the contest?

Title: Push & Pull
Characters/Pairings: MukuTsuna, GokuTsuna, perhaps some MukuGoku
Words: 643

( Gokudera doesn't hear them, but he knows. He can tell from the look on Tsuna's face; flushed, out of breath, panting. )

A/N: Sorry this is a little late. Hope you all enjoy it. ;D

So...since the time limit has officially lapsed on the challenge set forth by jenniferplague here , I'm going to call time on it. If anyone has any objections or would like to put in new entries, then you have exactly 24 hours before the judging poll it put up.

Repeat, until 12 am, EST March 1st to put in any last minute entries or ask for extensions.

Title: Contest entry: Natural growth
Characters: Tsuna, Iemitsu
Pairing: None
Rating: G
Genre: Gen musings
Word count: 167

( Tsuna didn’t really get why… )

And bonus because I had a bad day and this just popped out (I'll remove if it's inappropriate to tack on to the post)

Title: Lies
Characters: Yamamoto
Pairing: None
Rating: G
Genre: Gen, angst (early TYL spoilers)
Word count: 100
( When Yamamoto lied to himself… )

Yes. So, apparently no one else volunteered for some strange and weird reason....

Which means that my process of elimination, I'm the new Mod for khr_drabble, Rei and I can be reached in a myriad of ways that will eventually end up being posted very obnoxiously in some place on the comm once I figure out where I want them.

At this point, first and foremost, I want to take suggestions from everyone who's paying attention to this post about where they think the community should go, what they think should be done with somethings and what they think should change.

So far the things I'm planning on are as follows:

-Creating a Rec for all that fics, listed by challenges
-Creating a Moderating board to handle various tasks that might come up and the judging of some contests.
-Create a solid system for judging fics.
-Advertiseadvertiseadvertiseadvertise
-Advertise
-Pimp
-Revive!
-Expand
-Make the deal a little sweeter? Have prizes for winners? What, is to be determined
-Make this comm a Community. Instead of a place to post things, I want people here to be much better acquainted and thus we shall perpetuate the life of KHR_Drabble~ /corn


That's about it for me that I can think of at the moment...I'll be going through the comm from before to see if there's anything else that I can think about adding, but for the people left, I want to hear your ideas!

Title: Every year there's a day to see you. Never to speak.
Characters: Hibari, Ipin, Lambo, Kusakabe
Pairing: Hibari Kyouya x I-Pin
Rating: PG
Genre: Angst, Fluff, Violence
Word count: 924

Fake cut, not fake love

I BRING FORTH A CHALLENGE. In an attempt to combine "Valentine-ish" with "Hypodermic".

Challenge number seventeen: hypogeal. In case you are too lazy to use a dictionary...

hypogeal |ˌhīpəˈjēəl| (also hypogean)
adjective Botany
underground; subterranean. Compare with EPIGEAL .
• (of seed germination) with the seed leaves remaining below the ground.
ORIGIN late 17th cent.: via late Latin from Greek hupogeios (from hupo ‘under’ + gē ‘earth’ ) + -al .

Use it however you like. ("Underground" could be brought to mean "hidden love/love under the surface". Or it could literally mean underground. Or you could do something with the century/language/place of origin. Or with the germination definition, think about what part of the plant the leaves are. Or it could be a word in someone's speech. Or there could be a graffiti illustration of it on a wall. Et cetera. If you think the way you used it is pretty obscure, just make an author's note explaining it at the end of your story.) If your own dictionary has a slightly different meaning, go for it!

The challenge will end two weeks from now (because we're just starting up again), on February 28th.

First, I e-mailed eriea about modding and she told me that she didn't have the time to mod anymore. She made me a maintainer of the site, but I don't have the time or know-how to be a mod. So we are going to need a new mod. If you would like to be mod then contact me and I will hand over maintainer-ship to you.

Second, I'm not sure if demoerin, the only poster to the last challenge, still watches this place so I think we're going to need a new challenge. Whoever wants to come up with the #17 challenge can do it. First come first serve. Once someone posts a challenge I'll give the community a pimp on the Comm.

I'll mod until we find a new one. Let the games begin. :)

I stopped looking at this place for a while and I come back to check on it and it seems to be dead. :*( I miss this place. So is anyone still here?

Also, Can our dear mod pimp the community at the KHR Comm. You can delete this if it goes against the rules.

I just want to know if anyone still watches this (especially the mod) and if we can jumpstart it again. So who's present?

Challenge: Blizzard survival
Title: How the dead keep dreaming
Word count: 486
Characters: Mammon, Belphegor
Notes: It's survival in a way...?

( Read more... )

Wow, thanks everyone. I was really surprised that I'm up here, because I was quite impressed by the entries for this week!

Getting straight to the point, I've decided against going with the predictable holiday prompt, and so instead this week's drabble prompt shall be "Blizzard Survival". With the official rules, this should be due in one week, on December 28th... But with the holidays looming over us, I'll certainly bow to eriea's modly wisdom, if she has any better opinions. =D

Oh! And make sure to put your entries under the tag [016] Blizzard Survival, so we can archive them properly!

I apologize to everyone about the lateness of this poll. Forgetful brain is forgetful. But thank you very much for the people who submitted their entries.

Remember:

You're allowed to vote for yourself, but unless you think your drabble was really good, please refrain.

Remember: Pick your top three, and if you're not the one who posted the challenge, leave the challenger's vote box empty. We've already indicated the challenger's name, so if that's not your name there, don't put your vote in the challenger's box. Everyone's vote counts, but the one that gets the vote of the challenger gets an extra five points.

(First Choice: 3 points, Second Choice: 2 points, Third Choice: 1 point, so please vote the drabbles in the order that you like the most)

Also, please note that the challenger only votes in the challenger's voting box.

When voting, PLEASE PUT IN ONLY THE NUMBER. It makes it easier for the mod to calculate results rather than constantly referring to the list of challengers. Also, I am aware that I may make mistakes. Please inform me if I missed a challenger out.

The winner will be announced in this post so please come back to it.

Here are the writers and their entries:

01. themsoftheraven's Curtains
02. g3ssh0ku's Coming Clean
03. demoerin's The Perfect (Black Market) Present
04. kar_chan's Hit: Dead Man Talking

Hey people, it's your weekly reminder!

Prompt: Thanks
Due: December 16

I understand that we're all busy because of school/holidays, but as mod, I cannot slack off or this comm dies T__T After this week, if no one else posts an entry to the challenge, I will declare our only participant the winner and she'll give us the next prompt.

♥

It's december 9, guys, and still no entries for the current week. Would you like another week extension, or should I just declare our only participant the winner if no one else posts an entry for the current challenge (which is Thanks, btw) by tomorrow?
