CRAP! It's been two months since we did the last GM (GutterMarble/18+) Drabble/Drawble Night ...GMDDN

Our next GM DDN is on September 17th, 2011!

It will be starting at around 9 pm Eastern time, lasting officially until about 1-2 am eastern (assuming we have the usual numbers of attendees.) The reason for the later Start/Stop is b/c not only will this be held in the GM chat room, but its to help discourage YIMs from attempting to get into said chat, any any of that rot.

Password will be given out during chat that night, if you haven't already gotten it, you'll need to go into regular chat first and get the PW from a MOD there. There MAY be a DDN or an IDDN for anyone wanting to participate there in regular chat that's not going to be in the GMDDN. I CANNOT say there will be one this time. You'll have to check with the MOD on Duty about that in regular r0om.

If I'm not there I will make sure that at least one Mod is, so that it WILL happen. :3
If you've never been to a GMDDN, and are of age being 18+, you are certainly invited, the more the merrier.

Rules for GutterMarble Drable/Drawble Ngiht:

1. Drabbles, must be between 200-300 words. We're giving you a bit more space with wording here, but PLEASE use them. I know its hard to break from the 100 word count habit but you have up to 300 to go to, we'd like it if you can try to nail 300 on the head as well as you guys nail 100 for regular/impromptu DDNs. :3 If you go over no biggie.

2. D/D's: Must be SK related, to either one OR the other, or both.

3. If you are Drabbling(writing) you CAN post anything that is M or MA, BUT there needs to be a warning for anything that contains such as rape, and/or anything that could be considered vulgar and tasteless. We are allowing this GMDDN b/c not only has it been asked for but we want to be able to have fun for a more mature writing style, please don't ruin it by grossing people out or upsetting them needlessly.

4. If you are Drawbling(drawing) and it goes above 18+ you will be able to post links in the GM chat, where this will be taking place, all attendees will be above the 18+ age requirement as GM chat does require a password to get into.

5. Be considerate to the fact that we do give sometimes up to 40 mins per prompt b/c sometimes we do have artist playing too, b/c of this they can't draw/scan/post in the same time it takes to write 200-300+ words. Please try to understand, and remember it is still a chat and you don't hafta hang on every prompt or get mad b/c its taking so long before another prompt is given. Generally the Prompt Master will keep in mind who is arting and who is not, and will adjust prompt posting times accordingly.

6. After the official night is over, its not unheard of that more prompts will keep coming or to be available. Once this happens, its unofficial, and some of the above rules can be bent, such as the length. Also if this happens, it is likely that someone else MAY take over as Prompt Master, or many might. We generally wing it from this point on. So if your up to it, stay, if not :3 ...

7. Number of prompts, the official number is usually around 6 - 10 prompts, but it has gone up to 15 before. That being said, try to keep in mind if you are making a connected Drabble fic that you may want to make sure it can wrap up before you leave for the night.

8. All authors drabbling, should keep/save their own collection of Drabbles. Sometimes there are just too many people in our GMDDN's to keep up with all of them as Prompt Master, so please keep this in mind, and save your own work.

9. You do not have to do EVERY PROMPT. Folks seriously, you don't have to keep them in order for a drabble fic, nor do you have to do every prompt, if nothing about the prompt floats your muse, then don't do it.

10. You CAN collect the banner, even if you only do one prompt. Your still participating, and keep in mind just b/c it says MA(18+), does not mean this all has to be Smut. it can be violence, or gore, or anything, but again, please make sure you warn before posting.

11. While this is more of a consideration, b/c you are given up to 300+ words, please try not to post in the middle of someone else if it's obvious that theirs is broken up b/c of size. I'm not going to get mad or anything, but just try to be considerate. THANKS!

12. I don't care if your posting a late drabble or not, but PLEASE tell us which prompt it's for if your not posting for the current prompt!

Well i think that's about it. I'm going to make a Participation banner for this one as well, so I'm going to get working on that now.

Banner for this GM DDN:

done and done-ner

I keep missing them all the times.
I don't wanna miss this one!

I know exactly where I'm going to be next Saturday at 9. XD

Sigh I missed the last DDN and I hope I don't miss this gmddn but in all honesty I might because of, well, college.

HOWEVER I will try!! /me puffs up and beats on chest

well if you miss Sept, then there's always Nov!

Lol do you want to...cough...schedulethenovemberoneduringthanksgivingbreak coughcough?



JK, but yeah I will try try try try!

I might not be able to make it, unfortunately, BUT... I will try my hardest! GMDDNs are awesome!

JK, but yeah I will try try try try!That's not unreasonable for a request. I'll ask around,

Those of you in College, would you prefer to have the November GMDDN during Thanksgiving break? It'll still be a Saturday evening.
For those of you NOT in College, Would YOU prefer the November GMDDN during Thanksgiving break? Please let me know in this thread. If we have about 20 say yus to during Thanksgiving Break time frame, then we'll have it then.

- r0o

I decide when my Thanksgiving break is so it isn't a problem for me, but for the sake of those who are not in control of their own lives in the same way - I vote yes for having it during the Thanksgiving break. The 26th would be most reasonable, yes? (Since Thanksgiving itself is on the 24th this year...)

Thanksgiving break would be awesome for this college student! That's my vote

I may be able to make it to this one!

Well, thanksgiving in Canada is at the beginning of October, so really it doesn't make a difference for me now or in November.
But I'll say Thanksgiving for those who will be on a break.

I would like to attend, BUT... Thanksgiving I'll be travelling elsewhere, so if it's during that time I won't be able to attend, so I'd personally say no, but I understand if it's easier for others.

I don't have classes, so it won't make much of a difference to me. I doubt I will be traveling, so I vote yes for Thanksgiving break.

that was my concern, if it's too close to holidays, then some people will be not able to attend b/c they are getting pulled around for family. thats one of the reasons we went for opposite months, b/c there were fewer holidays on the ODDs at the middle of the month mark then on the Even.

January/March/May/July/September/November are all month with few if any realy holidays in the middle.

Of course my vote is for Thanksgiving holiday, but do what's convenient for most people - I will try to make them all nonetheless ^_^

woohoo! more Gmddn! And I think break is a good idea for November, especially since it'll be Saturday and after the technical "holiday".

Yay! I'll be there either way, so whatever is easiest for other people. Breaks are always better for those of us still in school >_>

I'll totally be there during thanksgiving break if we have one lol

Yus! Tonight!

Is it tonight? Or did it end up getting moved? ( I SO FORGOT IT WAS TONIGHT! - hurries to finish homework -)

O= I forgot about this! (Until I saw it on the side panel.) I might end up being late... BUT I'LL BE THERE!

I think i might have moved it up too early, I'll ask in chat, might move it back by an hour, so it starts then. otherwise *off to chat*

UPDATE!:

Due to the fact that we've never started GMDDN at 9pm, and the fact that we've got a lot of people still busy with the end of their day, I'm going to be starting it at 10 as usual!

Also, I've been REALLY busy lately, and haven't gotten the banner totally going yet, so if your up to it, I'll be LSing the coloring of the lines for tonight's banner after GMDDN is official over. We're going to try for 8 prompts at 30 min time frames so it'll be the standard 4 hours, ending at about 2pm EST. then there will be LSing, the link for that is here: www.livestream.com/sugar0o and please keep in mind that not only is this thread 18+ but so is my LS, if i find out your a minor and you came to either, your toast >:3 ^_^

t0odles!

I had so planned on doing this, but life gets in the way, darnit! Have fun everyone.
