Spotlight Work

We had our first poetry contribution to the Twelvetide Drabbles yesterday! You can find "bleeding" by Regina Dyton in the Twelvetide Drabbles 2020 collection posted under the collection pseudonym TwelvetideMagistra.

This is the first year we are accepting submissions from those without Archive of Our Own (Ao3) user accounts. If you don't have an Ao3 account and don't wish to create one, you may submit a drabble for posting to the collection via this Google Form. 

Today's Prompt & Bonus Inspiration

Your prompt for Sunday, December 27th is: 
 

CHOCOLATE
 

Before you get started writing today, make yourself some French hot chocolate!

Creating work set in the 17th century? Consider the "dens of iniquity" that were London's chocolate houses! 

Happy creating!
