And with this final prompt, we wrap up the 2025 Adventdrabbles Fest!

As this is our final time modding this fest, I want to thank all who participated over the years, by creating content, suggesting prompts, or commenting on posts in support of creators.
Here’s hoping everyone has a lovely holiday season (if you celebrate), or just a wonderful winter!

If you are behind in prompt responses, don’t worry, you can keep posting into early January. My dedicated co-mod typically posts updates until about the 2nd or 3rd of January, depending on the need.

This has been tremendous fun. I’ll miss you guys!
Happy New Year, everyone! Cheers! 🍾❤️

2019, the last year before the year of March 2020 which is now on day 2131.

3 movies. Wow self, it's almost like your work got bought out by a bigger company and you were trying to adapt by being lucky enough to land one of their jobs.

~ Captain Marvel - I fucking loved it. It launched my full blown crush on Lashana Lynch, Ben Mendelsohn really sold me on his role, and Samuel L Jackson looked like he was having FUN.

~ Fast Color - ahh another full blown crush here on Gugu Mbatha-Raw. The entire movie is SO WELL DONE. I really wish it had been marketed more strongly.

~ Charlie's Angels - Watched this with my kids on their visit after it came out, wound up really loving it. Watched it recently, and it holds up. +chef's kiss+

It's time to sign up for the January WIP challenge! Some people join the challenge mid month, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is fine -- I'm glad there's a way for the challenge to be useful in a variety of ways. For those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.

Sign-ups will be open until the end of January.

Level of challenge: 1 chapter, 1000 words, 1 fic finished, whatever you like
Fandom(s) involved: if you know at this point
What you're looking for from the challenge: this could be as vague or specific as you like: someone to be accountable to, someone to remind you to write, someone to bounce ideas off, etc.
What you could offer other participants yourself: ditto!
How people should contact you: DW message, e-mail, IM etc.
Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you

Copypaste below:

The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who might need it.

If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.

I'm on holiday from the 14th to the 21st and won't be around during weeks two and three.

Week 1: 4th to 10th
Week 2: 11th to 17th
Week 3: 18th to 24th
Week 4: 25th to 31st=

have a fiendish Christmas time

( I am the rest you have been longing for. )

Are there shows that you’ve noticed have had a revival on social media or fan spaces in the last few years? Are there any you're glad to see coming back?

Hello, everyone. I’m simplyn2deep and today's theme is Evidence. Proof, traces, and remnants, what’s left behind to show something mattered or existed at all.

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full name and fandom's full name for ease in adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Fandom, Character +/ Character, A character finds evidence of something they were told never happened.
+ Fandom, Character +/ Character, Write a story structured around objects left behind.
+ Fandom, Character +/ Character, Someone demands proof—but isn’t ready for what it shows.

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word! comment_fic
