Fest recs from Slythindor100's LDWS 2015

[snowgall]

I usually do a wrap-up rec list after a fest ends, so I figured I should do so for slythindor100's Last Drabble Writer Standing (LDWS) contest as well :) This was the first year I've voted in the contest, and it was lots of fun. It was so fascinating to see how differently all of the talented authors interpreted the prompts, and so wonderfully surprising to find out who the drabble writers had been each week.


The cool thing is that I ended up voting for a different drabble writer each of the first 5 weeks! (completely unintentionally of course, as the authors were always anonymous until after the votes were tallied) My top picks each week didn't always match the winners of each week (in fact they rarely did :), but for the record, they were:

Week 1: Happy Birthday by josephinestone
Week 2: Then and Now by birdsofshore
Week 3: the invasion by bloodisshrp
Week 4: My Sweetest Downfall by writcraft (that week's winner)
Week 5: You Are My Greatest Adventure by capitu (how was this eliminated???)
Week 6: Coming Clean by birdsofshore
Week 7: Winning Moves by birdsofshore (that week's winner)
Week 8: Laid Bare by writcraft

Week 2 was a very strong week. I also loved:
Love tastes like... by bloodisshrp (that week's winner)
Unspeak, Speak, Oddment, Tweak by khalulu

Congratulations to birdsofshore for being the Last Drabble Writer Standing at the end, and to all of the talented authors who contributed to the fest and made it so enjoyable ♥

P.S. I hope that the authors will also feel encouraged to post their drabbles to AO3, in whatever format they happen to prefer :)

Aww, thank you! ♥
I had the most fun writing the Week 3 drabble, the socks prompt just really inspired me. I wrote 3 different drabbles that week and picked one! :D

In fact, I have been thinking of posting to Ao3 because for quite a few weeks I wrote more than one drabble and then picked one out of those. I'm just not sure on how to post.

E.T.A - Just read your post on the different formats for posting, and I'll probably go with #3. Each week had a different theme and I don't feel right clubbing them all together. And then within the work for each week, I can add separate chapters for the different versions!

You're welcome :) I'm so glad that maybe that "how to post drabbles" post might help you decide how you want to do it :)

And I'll be looking forward to seeing what other drabbles you came up with that you didn't use for the contest! I like your idea of using chapters to post alternate versions for the same prompt ♥
