Mondays are the worst, aren’t they? Well, I dunno if this will make yours better.
Monday Danibbles (see below for a definition). (maybe we can get other authors involved too?)
First, let’s start with a definition of ‘drabble’.
“A drabble is an extremely short work of fiction of exactly one hundred words in length, not necessarily including the title.[4] The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author’s ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space.”
And then we’re going to realize that Dani (that’s me) is not good with restrictions, so we’re going to make a new word called ‘Danibble‘. (And we’re gonna pretend that’s not as cutesy as it sounds)
“A Danibble is: and extremely short work of fiction of exactly 100 words or any number of words I feel like, but probably not long because I’m trying to write a book here.”
Here’s how it works:
Monday: In the comment section below 
, y’all tell me give me a short scene idea to write. It can be anything–a conversation, a kiss, a meet cute whatever (just be aware that I don’t do ‘cute’ well). A
Tuesday everyone votes on which one gets written.
Between Friday and Sunday, I’ll post the drabble.
Rules: (erg rules =( yuck) No sex between Cai & Darryl or Cai & Peter or Cai &Austin. (Yes, yes I’m into brocest. I read it, but I just can’t with Cai. He’d run away!) My only other restrictions will probably come on a case by case basis (I don’t want to infringe on copyright etc!). And my rules are subject to change! Cuz, reasons (maybe one day I will be able to write a scene with peter and Cai or something).
If other authors get involved, I’d love to know! I’ll start putting the links to their stuff in the post as well!
Q: Why are you doing this Dani, instead of working on NSI?
A: I’m rusty with writing! I’m hoping this will spark my creativity.
Q: When on what days does stuff end?
A: Starts when I wake up on Monday (around 2am PST) and the vote goes up when i wake up Tuesday (I usually wake up around 2am PST) and runs until 10pm PST.
Let’s see if there’s interest!

How about something voyeuristic, perhaps unintentionally, by an as of yet unintroduced character – someone who is hiding from someone else and a couple of your characters happen by into this new ones hiding place?
Tina Marie
I think I’m too late for suggestions, but I’m really glad you’re starting to write! And the page looks great!
Carnell
Awesome IDEA Dani!!!
I’ll read ANYTHING! 🙂
Erica
Also – happy webpage makeover!
Dani Alexander
Thanks =D It needed one.
Erica
Am I too late? Time-zones are so difficult. Anyway – what I have always wanted to know is what goes on in Peter’s head during SG, so I would love to read a SG scene from his POV
Meris
I would like to read something like : a day in Austin and Peter’s domestic and parenting (really curious abt Stuart) life.. Yeah,that would be really nice Dani 😀
dacey
I would love to read absolutely anything you want to write about. But, since you’re interested in obtaining ideas how about we provide pictures and you come up with a short story for it?
dacey
Honestly I just thought everyone should get to enjoy that photo! ♥
Dani Alexander
haha i do love that picture! Pictures would be great, but I’d probably need a prompt for the picture. Like this one–is it for RPS (real person slash (Zach and Chris?), the characters from Star Trek or just this is the representation of two hot guys?
Marleen
I want an argument between Darryl and Austin!
rebecca
Short Scene Idea: When the call ended, he knew there was no way
he would let Cai go. Cai was back in their country, his love for Cai was unbreakable.
His empire that he has built would be Cai’s and Cai’s alone. Everything was falling into place…. this was going too well, too perfect…no one was going to get in his fucking way…not Riley, not even Peter…..
Giulio
Lovely idea. I’d really really love to read about Austin’s first time with Peter (ahem, when he lost his cherry, if you know what I mean). I could bribe you.. Btw, 2am PST?? you’re a lazy guy!!!!
Alexa
Me too, me too!! I’d love to know what kind of sarcastic comments Austin said in his first time
rebecca
I have to drink at least 3 large mocha latte’s to get my brain working to understand what you are doing…its Monday morning.. I am here at work and my brain is still on Sunday….I feel like we are taking a test, lol…p.s. I got all excited that we got an email update from you 😉
Dani Alexander
LOL You drink EXACTLY what I drink!
Ilhem
What about : Cai is painting on the sidewalk.
Evil Kate
1. Darryl meets Loki and is not impressed. 😀
j/k But you did say “meet cute”. So this popped into my brain
Dani Alexander
I did! And why are you ‘j/k’? This is awesome and hilarious.
gigi
Yes!!! Have to read this one. Brilliant idea.
Wicked
I’m gonna have to think about this one for a bit. I’ve had to much stress today and my mind is a puddle… it’s only noon 🙁 I couldn’t handle no brocest with Cai either. Like ever. But can we request something with Cai and Riley? Or just any thing under the sun.
Wicked
Okay maybe a hot kitchen scene with a little bit of kink. I know I suck lol ;0
Wicked
Website Looks Awesome!!!!
Dani Alexander
Thank you! Glad you like it
Suzi Webster
What about 2 guys in same/v similar profession/sport but one at/near top of excellence, other either has been on way down or newbie – so similar interests but the rekationship not seen as good for the top of the game guy by outsiders.
Love the Danibble idea though!
Shay-Rone-Reeb
Love this!! How about a copy room interaction between co-workers at the same company but not the same department. M/m of course!!
Griffin Drake
Oh my God that’s great news!!!! I’m so looking forward to reading them!! Thank you Dani!!
MinxFan
Okay I’ll just throw it out there, I’d love if you somehow incorporated sounding, its my newest obsession in m/m romance, lol. Thanks.
