Twelvetide Drabbles 2020 Prompts!

December 24, 2020 - January 6, 2021

Greetings fan creators!

Here are the challenge rules (the same as previous years), followed by the fourteen prompts for this year's challege, to give those of you who like to plan ahead a bit of a head start prior to the collection opening up for posting at Archive of Our Own.

Both prompts and rules will be cross-posted to the Ao3 collection page as well, for reference.

We will begin sending out daily newsletters with prompt reminders and challenge updates starting on December 24th. As a reminder, this year's charity is the Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies, a U.S.-based, disability-led organization with a focused mission on equal access, disability rights and full inclusion of people with disabilities, older adults, and people with access and functional needs before, during, and after disasters and emergencies.

So far we have $1/drabble pledged and we'd love to have more pledges if you can afford to give even $0.10 or $0.05 per drabble. In past years we have had between 100-150 entries in the challenge, if that helps you think about what pledge amount is affordable. Every penny counts! And of course, if you can't pledge -- you can write, draw, and signal boost!

If you have questions you can always shoot me an email at feministlibrarian@gmail.com or find me on Twitter @feministlib.

Stay safe, be angry, do justice, seek joy,
Elizajane

Challenge Rules

All fic entries should be short (100 words is, strictly speaking, the length of a drabble...you may hold yourself to that or just keep it brief).
All art should be a single image.
You may post multiple prompt fills per prompt; you do not have to post fills for every prompt. Participate at any level that works for you. You also don't need to post your prompt fills on the specific day for each fill (unless you want to hold yourself to that goal). We're flexible!
Entries should be in response to / inspired by the day's prompt however directly, loosely, or subversively you wish to draw the connection.
In order to count toward the drabble match donation, works must be posted between 9:00am EST (UST -5) on 24 December 2019 and 9:00pm EST (UST -5) on 6 January 2020. The collection at Ao3 will only be open for new works during this window of time.
If you choose to publish some or all of your prompt fills as chapters in a single work each chapter will count as an independent submission for the purposes of the match fund.
There aren't any other rules -- thanks for joining us!
