Spotlight Work
Today we have veteran Drabbler ElectraRhodes with the very first work posted to the 2020 collection: Primavera. This is a Hannibal fanwork, and the summary reads: "A painting. A passion. A promise." And if you don't know what an "ekphrastic" is, now is your chance to find out!
Today's Prompt
Your prompt for Friday, December 25th is:
SLATE
NOUN:
1. A bluish-gray color.
2. A fine-grained gray, green, or bluish metamorphic rock easily split into smooth, flat pieces.
3. A flat piece of slate used for writing on, typically framed in wood, formerly used in schools.
4. A list of candidates for election to a post or office, typically a group sharing a set of political views.

Finally ... Posting to the Challenge on Ao3
I know some folks had difficulty posting to the challenge on Ao3 yesterday. This happened last year too, that the auto-complete in the system took a day or two to recognize the tag in the system and offer it as an option. Never fear! You still have two options for adding the work into the collection:
1. Manually add the work by typing the collection tag into the Post to Collections / Challenges field. The tag is TwelvetideDrabbles2020 (no spaces). The image below shows it as it will appear once added during the creation of the new work.
Image: Screen grab of the collection form showing the tag as it appears when added to the right field as described above.
2. Alternately, the system will add the tag automatically if you create your new work directly from the collection page. Do this by navigating to the collection and clicking on Post to Collection. An empty form will open for you to create a new work with the Post to Collections / Challenges field already filled in.
For those who have submitted using the Google Form, I will be posting your works to the collection today!
Happy creating!
