Fair Game within TOS.

3. Drabbles may be in one block of text, or multiple blocks.
4. Drabbles must be entitled with the chosen theme. (See 2nd post for themes.)
4a. I reiterate, the title of your drabble is the theme you have chosen.
4b. You may use only one title-theme per drabble. No combinations.
5. Drabbles do not, however, have to contain the word or phrase which is your chosen theme.
5a. Example: Choosing the theme 'fire' without ever actually using the word fire.
6. Additionally, the themes do not have to be taken literally; any plausible interpretation or twist is acceptable, and/or encouraged. Be prepared to write well, regardless of which approach you decide on.

Good luck! I'd join but I haven't the time as of now... I'm doing homework and polishing off my entry for the Gundam Wing fan fiction contest in the guild... Anyway, good luck again!

XD It's no problem! I assure you, anyone too busy to write 100 words is no one I need clogging up the works! j/k I need to work on my entry, too, if I'm going to try and participate. I wrote about a paragraph in a spiral notebook two nights ago...
You did? Well, you should really go to the guild and reseve a slot since we're only accepting 10 entries. Go to the thread about the contest and say you want to join then send the 150 gold entry fee to the guild mule. The guild mule's username is Preventer Organization Hurry! Only 3 slots are left and I wouldn't want you to write a fic and not get the chance to compete.
I've adde your name to the list! All you have to do is pay the guild mule 150 gold for the slot to be officially yours. Its username is Preventer Organization. Tell me when you've sent it your trade!

Is drabble just writing 300 words (or whatever it is) on one of those topics? Like a...Aw, dang, I forget the word--TRAIN OF THOUGHT! That's it. Is it just a train of thought piece on one of those topics?
