A 100-word Drabble challenge community for Kingdom Hearts


MAINTAINERS:
Romy - yohjideranged
Moogles - raisedbymoogles

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Ideas and text taken from the LiveJournal communities fuda_100, hp100, and wk_100 - Thank YOU!!

JOINING: Everyone welcome; lurkers, occasional posters and weekly contributors all. The idea is just to get people writing more short Kingdom Hearts pieces.

CONTENT: Everything is welcome - gen, shounen-ai, yuri and yaoi. If you aren't comfortable with that, then please don't read it.

FEEDBACK: As your mother probably says "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." No flames, no snide bitchiness, no impoliteness. Constructive criticism is welcome, but please make sure it is constructive criticism, not just criticism. The List Maintainers will delete or screen any feedback they consider off.

TEAM COMPETITION: To make it a little more exciting, for every successful drabble (on topic, exactly 100 words), you receive ten (10) points to the team of your choice - Dark, Light or In-Between. You can change your allegiance, as you like, but you may only choose one team per post. You don't have to choose the team for the characters you write about in the drabble. The winning team doesn't get anything other than the satisfaction of knowing they beat the others.

SPOILERS: Kingdom Hearts III came out on January 25th, 2019. You don't need to have played it in order to participate in this community. Therefore, to help people trying to avoid spoilers, any KH3-based drabbles that reference anything that might be considered a spoiler must be placed behind a cut. This rule will be in force for one year from release date - i.e. January 25th, 2020.

Occasionally the mod will write a drabble or two as well, but mod drabbles will not garner points for any side.

Please read!

RULES (OR HOW TO PLAY):


1. A Drabble is 100 words exactly. Online Word Counter If you run over or under the word count by a few words, you can still post, but no team points will be awarded.

2. Posts which are obviously too short or too long will be deleted. We may like what you wrote, but this is specifically a drabble community.

3. Prose drabbles only. No songs or poetry or similar. Anything like that will be deleted.

4. No off-topic posts allowed. Anything off-topic will be deleted.

5. Challenges are closed and new ones posted on Mondays.

6. Please read each challenge carefully.

7. It is strongly recommended that you use a spellchecker. Writers who consistently misspell will be asked to.

8. Everything is welcome - gen, shounen-ai, yuri and yaoi.

9. Any Kingdom Hearts production is fair game, i.e. Birth By Sleep, 358/2 Days, Dream Drop Distance, etc.

10. There will be a little difference in posting times due to time zones (both the moderators live in the USA currently), but you can only post a response to the current challenge.

11. No crossovers. We will occasionally have specific challenges for that, but until those come up, stick to the Kingdom Hearts world and cast of characters, please.

12. No unrecognizable AUs. This is a Kingdom Hearts community and this is out of context. If you are uncertain at all, please contact a moderator. You will be asked to delete unrecognizable AUs. Again, we may like them, but they aren't within the purview of this community.

13. All drabbles must stand alone. So no chaptered drabbles. You can call them parts of a whole, but they must be readable and understandable individually, by themselves.

14. Original characters are okay, as long as they are not the focus of the drabble.

15. Please don't add extra-curricular challenges to your drabble.

16. Please do not number your drabbles, either as a name or a link. To indicate it's part of a series is fine, but each drabble must have its own title (i.e. xxxxseries 3: name of drabble). Otherwise it's confusing and irrelevant.

17. There is no limit to the number of drabbles you may post per week.

18. Please LJ-cut your drabbles if you post more than two at a time, leaving the header information out of the cut.

19. If your drabble contains sensitive or explicit material, squick or character death, it must be behind cut tags.

20. If you have a sequel to your kh_100 response, or if your response is part of a series, you may edit your response to add links to any associated fic.

21. Post the drabble to the community, not just a link to your LJ. This is so that if you should for some reason decide to delete your LJ, we still have the post.

22. New challenge topics can be suggested in the new challenge post on Monday, or by sending an e-mail to the community moderator: Romy at schwarzfiles@aol.com.


*** Please note: the policy regarding same-sex pairings is that they are equal with opposite-sex pairings. We don't ask you to LJ-cut your drabble just because it contains a same-sex pairing if the rating doesn't warrant it. It supports prejudice to differentiate. Sensitive or explicit material for either type of pairing should be LJ-cut.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEMS, SUGGESTIONS, AND OTHER QUERIES

If you would like to suggest a challenge, leave a comment on the latest one. If you have any problems with the challenge, rules, other members, etc., contact Romy or GR

MEMORIES AND TAGS

Challenges will be stored in the Memories section after each challenge is closed. Tags will be assigned to prompt and author for cataloging and later reading referral.

WORD COUNT

Drabble titles don't count, words like 'a' and 'the' do. Hyphenated words can be considered as one or more, depending on what works for you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

POSTING

If you don't use the correct posting format we will ignore those drabbles as ineligible for points. Posts should look like this:

Subject field:

Title of Drabble. If multiple drabbles are posted, list all titles like One / Two / Three. Untitled drabbles should have Untitled [and #]. If there are too many, write the number of drabbles. VERY IMPORTANT!

HEADER INFORMATION in post for drabbles

Title: Title of drabble again.
Characters/Pairings: If it is a surprise, write "surprise".
Rating/Type: Optional unless necessary, i.e. anything over PG-13
Team: Your team - Dark / Light / In-Between. One team per post please. You don't have to choose the team for the characters you write about in the drabble.
Word Count: Hopefully 100. You only need to do this one once per post if all drabbles are 100 words
Series: Optional unless necessary, i.e. Birth By Sleep
Author's Notes: Optional unless necessary. Subject matter warnings and anything else you have to say.
