Hi folks!
I'm thinking of setting up the old Bolthole drabble challenge up again. For those of you unfamiliar with drabbles, it's a piece of flash fiction, usually centred around a prompt and can be a great way to clear writing blockages.
First up, though... what length shall we hit up? See options, and give me your thoughts.

I like the idea of drabbles of 100-200 words and leaving the 1000 word flashes to RiaR if that gets going again.

I would say up to 500, as that gives people space to explore an idea while staying firmly in the realm of flash fiction.

500 is a nice mid-ground, I think

Then one day at Istvaan III,
Horus came to say.
"Fulgrim with your clothes so bright,
won't you help me slay tonight?"
Then all the rebels loved him
And they shouted out with glee.
"Fulgrim the Traitor Primarch,
you'll go down in history!"

So we've got the word count, what's the challenge? Or is this a standing thing that is listed somewhere else?

I will do a little forum jiggery-pokery and set up something for drabbles and chuck up a weekly challenge, probably tomorrow.

Apparently the server hates me and won't let me set up any new fora, so I will just start a new topic until such time as the server STOPS hating me.

Great stuff. Got mine written and all. Just going to sit on it for a week and see if fresh eyes can point out any obvious flaws. Then I'll get'er posted.
