100 Words

Unfortunately my new computer has not arrived yet. Since I can't put together the list of all previous prompts using my phone, I'm postponing Amnesty Week until next week.

In the meantime, shall we brainstorm? In the comments, leave your suggestions for prompts we might use in the future. I'm open to one word prompts, phrases, quotations, anything that fits a prompt model we've used before (i.e. word pairs, picture prompts, song titles), or any new prompt models you might suggest. You can find the previous prompts on the Tags page.

Thank you for all you do to make 100words a great place to be. It's been a fabulous 200 weeks!

What is 100words?

100words is a weekly drabble challenge community originally hosted on Imzy and now here on Dreamwidth. Every Tuesday a new prompt is posted -- a word, picture, phrase, quotation -- and members are invited to respond with a drabble (fiction that is exactly 100 words in length).

Do I have to include the prompt in my reply?

No. The prompt is merely a means to get your creative juices flowing.

Seriously, what if my drabble doesn't include the prompt?

Not a problem. The prompt is merely there to inspire you to write 100 words.

What if I write more than 100 words?

Please limit your responses to 100 words in length. There are other communities for fiction under and over 100 words, such as fandomweekly.

How do I participate?

Please post your fiction to the community, indicating in the tag which prompt you are answering. We started with Prompt #25 on Dreamwidth because that's where 100 Words on Imzy was at.

Here is a template for posting your work:

Subject: Original - Title (or) Fandom - Title

Title:
Original (or) Fandom:
Rating:
Notes:

Here's the template for easier pasting:

<strong>Title:</strong> <strong>Original</strong> (or) <strong>Fandom:</strong> <strong>Rating:</strong> <strong>Notes:</strong>

What if I miss a prompt?

No worries! Every tenth week is an Amnesty Week, when all previous prompts are fair game.

Can I post fanfic/original fic?

All fiction is welcome at 100words. Please indicate the fandom in your post, or whether it is original fiction. Content warnings for potential triggers, mature or explicit content, or spoilers are also expected.

Do I need to include content warnings, ratings, and spoilers?

Yes. Please see the question above.

Is there an AO3 collection?

There is! You can find the AO3 collection here and can include your work in the collection by choosing 100words in the "Post to Collections / Challenges" field.

I have a question you haven't answered!
