And I must say that I loved yours as well! Very humorous, poor Liam just trying to get his little lady.

I loved the interaction between the Costello's <3 Very lovely and thank you.

I am trying to get my head into my lesser characters so that I can bring them out more in the RPs

This is a brilliant idea, Lothy! :-D I’ve got my first prompt up, hopefully you guys like it. =) Both yours and Panda’s prompts are awesome! <3 It’s really great being able to get to know everyone’s charries outside of the RPs. I’m v.much looking forward to the next challenge. :pirate:

I am already having too much fun with this ad seeing little ficlets from all the different characters. You'll find something PD!

I can't wait till the next prompt, I already have one in mind for when I choose xD

I loved that you wrote that scene in first person! It made me feel if I was watching it all happen right there and then as well :)

EEEEEEK!! I love the new drabbles guys, so detailed and I love that you wrote yours in first person PD, Panda's right it really felt as if we were there <3

I'm tempted to make two prompts a week, but I don't know how many people would keep up. It's up to you guys, how often do you want prompts? Once a week, twice a week? Once a day? Or perhaps whenever someone comes up with a new one?

Absolutely brilliant drabble, PD! *nods* :-D

I actually wouldn’t mind writing one drabble a day, but I don’t know how everyone else feels about that – perhaps a few times a week, if not? I’m already thinking of who to write about next :lol: I can’t wait for the next prompt. This is so inspiring. =D

Thanks, you guys. I've always wanted to try writing in 1st person. Perhaps I shall try it again sometime. :)

I'd go with one prompt a week, Lothy. but that's just me. I mean, I know when school restarts for all of us it's gonna be super hard to keep up with everything as it is... so... I think one is plenty. Especially since Ara, Maeth and Will haven't been able to reply with anything yet.

I think two times a week, maybe every Monday and Thursday? That way it gives people some time to write their replies and people can always write two prompts in one post if they miss a day.

I'll PM you my idea for a prompt Lothy to use when you wish <3

I think Panda's idea of posting one every Monday and Thursday sounds best. I mean it's not like the RPs where we have to wait for everyone to post before we start on the next one, this is more something you dip in and out of whenever you feel. So yeah, if you miss one you can either double-drabble (:P) in your next post or just miss it out completely :)

I've got my second drabble up! :pirate: I think writing one every Monday and Thursday sounds like the best idea too =D Anyhoo, this second prompt of "Disguise" was an awesome choice! I had to really think about it deciding what to write about, but eventually the idea popped into my head. :-D
