Are you sure the solution is pie?

darkershadeof asked for Spike, Xander, and horses (but not that way with the horses). I hope this is horsey enough for you! 100 words exactly.

( FIC: Ranch Action (Spike/Xander, R, drabble) )

Results from the call for prompts to follow -- here's the first.

thatotherperv asked for more of my pervy Wes/Dawn story. Basic background so you can just read this as a stand alone if you wish: Post-Chosen, Dawn lives and attends high school in L.A., and is involved with Wesley.

100 words exactly.

( FIC: Zero-Sum Game (Wes/Dawn, PG) )

Written for jameschick. 100 words exactly.

( FIC: Pancakes (Xander/Oz, G, drabble) )

I swear I used to have a pancake icon.

Anyone want to give me more drabble prompts? Harry Potter OR Buffyverse. My writing is sluggish like a slimy garden slug tipping into a pile of sludge lately. But this drabble came out fairly easily, so maybe I need to be drabbling to slog through to longer stuff.

I'll take five prompts -- four prompts, pairings and whatever else like a word or a mood or something else brief. No promises on getting them all done, but I will try my damnedest. Oh, and there's a space reserved for emiime should she want it, for some kind of Percy/Harry or her choice (hence the crossed out five), and that one I promise I will do.

Also, my gmail theme showing my area's weather is nearly always wrong. Right now it is completely sunny with cotton candy puffy clouds outside, and the gmail theme is all ::rains, glooms:: No need to be so emo, gmail.

ETA -- already got four prompts at LJ, so no more for now!

No, not a rehash of that old "a drabble is a hundred words exactly!" argument (though it is), but a question about archiving/presenting drabbles either in archives or author websites.

So I have written a bunch of drabbles, about fifteen in HP fandom, and somewhere around fifty in the BtVS/Ats fandom(s). Part of me thinks I should just leave them as is on my LJ/IJ pages, and not archive them anywhere, except in the case of when they're related to longer stories (either as a prequel/sequel/off-shoot of a stand-alone or multi-part fic). They're awfully short, after all, and I tend to think people don't seek them out unless they stumble across them. But then part of me thinks, well, for a really complete author website (which I'm working on right now, and hoping to have up by summer's end), shouldn't I put them up for, I don't know, posterity's sake? Will anyone visit that eventual site, or anyone's site, whether it be fandom-specific or focused on the writings of one person, and think, "I hope I can find some drabbles I like here!"?

See, I really like drabbles. ( more words than you'd expect on the topic of a 100-word form, and questions about reading/writing/preserving drabbles )

I'd love to hear your thoughts on drabbles, their staying power, the archiving/presentation of drabbles. If you have specific misgivings or recommendations as to how they ought to be best presented or even links to particular authors/pages/sites that seem to showcase drabbles well, please share those as well!
