8 drabbles were posted for challenge #86! Thanks to idontlikegravy, jerseyfabulous, nothorse and avamclean for playing!

challenge #87: tying the knot

Write 100 or 200 words that somehow have to do with tying the knot. We've done weddings that weren't; now, let's do weddings that were! (Or, you know, something-- camping related, or nautical? idk, use your imaginations!) Any crossover is welcome, but please post each drabble behind a cut, and tag your posts appropriately. Be creative, and have fun!

(I'd almost forgotten about this comm: thanks to avamclean for reminding me! This has been a very busy summer).

This challenge will run until AUGUST 2-- the day I play bridesmaid for my baby brother's bride!

3 more drabbles were posted in March Amnesty! Thanks to jerseyfabulous for playing, and to butterflyflame for writing me a Birthday Fic.

For those of you who won fic in the Drabble-a-Thon, I'm replying via comment with links as I finish each of them; I plan on being done by the end of June. You guys will have me busy for a while. In the meantime:

challenge #86: language

Write 100 or 200 words that somehow have to do with language. Foreign languages, colorful language, whatever; use your imaginations. Any crossover is welcome, but please post each drabble behind a cut, and tag your posts appropriately. Be creative, and have fun!

Thanks to kerravonsen for the suggestion. This challenge will run until APRIL 19.

119 drabbles were posted for challenge amnesty! Thanks to jerseyfabulous, beatrice_otter, kayleyangel, graycardinal, kerravonsen, maevebran, ladyyueh, butterflyflame, nothorse, rivulet027, and idontlikegravy for playing.

That compares to 109 from the same week last year. Way to go, guys!

Winner's request post to follow...

... including a special note for those of you whose last year's reward is still outstanding. Last year I had no motivation to write due to negative personal circumstances; this year I've had limited time, but my weekends are mostly still free and my life is doing much better. I've written 28,662 words this year already-- so, I expect to finish all the requests by the end of June when I leave for vacation. I appreciate your patience!

AMNESTY WILL CONTINUE UNTIL APRIL, WHEN NEW CHALLENGES WILL RESUME.

( So, here are the final standings, in order of participation )
