Gauging Interest Post

[alisanne]

Hello, drabblers!
It’s a little early to be posting here, but I wanted to see how everyone is feeling about us re-opening the community this year.
I am not traveling this year, so I am available, and while I haven’t spoken to her, I suspect torino10154 is available as well, so we are willing to do our usual daily prompts and wrap-up posts if people remain interested in participating in our low stress Holiday “challenge”.
Of course, if you’re not willing to commit, there’s no problem with simply posting here during Advent, even if there’s not much interest and we don’t end up posting formal prompts.

So, the question.

Should we post daily Advent/Holiday Prompts this year, or should we just leave everyone to post here if they like, with no formal prompts?
I don’t feel like we need a formal poll (plus, I can’t recall how do make one), so just reply below with your vote, okay?

Thanks, all!

I was planning to message you! LOL

I am definitely in and personally do prefer prompts for my own writing purposes.

I'll point people to this post as well so they can weigh in.

LOL, I figured if you had decided to take a December world tour or something you’d have let me know by now *g* so I assumed you were in. ;)

I think it’s safe to say we have enough interest to run the fest again.

I’ll put up a prompt ideas post in another week or so.

I love the comm, whether you do prompts here or just allow us to post whatever holiday shtuff we have going on. Whatever is easiest for y'all!

[alisanne]

Looks like people are interested in prompts so we’ll do it.
Get ready to pass on your prompt ideas!

I'd love to participate this year and I'd prefer prompts if possible!

[alisanne]

Fair enough! Prompts it is. :)

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I like this comm and the blinking tree! I'd prefer prompts.

[alisanne]

Alas, we retired the blinking, but we’re kept the tree. ;)
Prompts it is!

I always look forward to this community!

My personal preference is for prompts; it's fun to challenge myself to come up with something that goes with them.

[alisanne]

Heh. And I always challenge myself to find unusual picture prompts. ;)

[goddess47]

I'm more likely to do prompts than to post on my own... so I'd love to see prompts again...

Thanks!

[alisanne]

Noted. We’re on it!

[ride_4ever]

Is this drabble comm HP-specific?

[torino10154]

No, it's not. I'll edit the post I made to reflect that but here's a list of the first batch of works from last year to give you an idea of what the comm is like.

Hi!
I couldn't participate last year 'cause I had other writing commitments in the same days, but I'm looking forward to this year and I love working with prompts, if you're up to it :)

[alisanne]

Absolutely! I’ll put up a prompts post next week. :)

[walgesang]

Hi! So good to see you around. :) Prompts are always easier for me and I'd be interested in participating.

[alisanne]

Cool! I look forward to it. :)

[centaury_squill]

Prompts, please, with the Christmas tree linking to pictures!

[alisanne]

*bows*
I hear and obey. ;)

[rebecca_selene]

I'm interested in participating and love the prompts!

[alisanne]

Excellent! Thank you!

[kelly_chambliss]

Alisanne!!!! So good to see you; how ARE you?

I'd like to write some holiday drabbles. I prefer prompts but can do any format.

[alisanne]

KELLY! *glomps*
I’m okay (recent election results aside). Getting older, needing parts replaced, you know, the usual. :P
How are you? I hope life’s treating you well. ❤️

We’ll def be posting prompts since people remain interested.

[kelly_chambliss]

My dear, I'm just so pleased to see you that I'm sitting here smiling like a mad smiling thing (and I haven't really smiled for at least a week, not since the US signed its fucking death warrant the election).

I'm doing pretty well (aside from said death warrant). I'm loving retirement; my partner and I got to do some fun traveling last summer (to the UK and Sweden) and will go to San Fransisco in February to visit the Young Man (who is living there this year).

[alisanne]

Indeed, smiles are few and far between these days.🙄
And I have no fucking idea what the fuck is happening here, but I did my part, so the people who voted against their own self interests will just have to figure it out. This black woman is tired of trying to bail out people who can’t be bothered to help themselves.

Anyway, YAY for retirement! I hope to get there one of these days. :)

Enjoy traveling! Now that my hips have been fixed, I’m hoping it will solve my mobility issues so I, too, can do some traveling in future. 🤞🏾
