Dark Drabblefest: Prompts for Day Seven
The last day of the drabblefest is on us, and we hope you enjoyed playing. Please feel welcome to continue using the prompts as inspiration strikes you, and in whatever fandom you may wish to dabble in. Thank you to everyone for writing!
Theme:
Part of why we dance is that so much of dance is about shared code. In a shared culture, dance transmits the cultural code. The logic of the dancing body, the rhythms, the manners — the things transmitted through the dances are [found] in that society. But if you take that dance to another culture, those codes don't make sense. So the dance becomes decoration and it's just pretty. If it's just pretty, it becomes an object — you can buy it, you can toss it away. And fundamentally, I don't think that's what dance is for but for the most part, that's what dance has become.
So when we live in a multicultural and diverse world, without a shared mythology, how do we connect to our bodies? How do we address the question of dance? Yet, I think we all need to feel each other's bodies, to have a fuller understanding of each other. Understanding is not just intellectual. There's a whole body intelligence that I feel is missing in our efforts to live together. - Lee Su-Feh (Source)

| Nipa loho ya kihindi wino na kalamu kandi nikuswifie mapendi. Yameningia moyoni kwa sahihi ya aini kana wanja wa machoni. | Give me a writing board of Indian wood, ink and a precious pen, let me praise love for you. It has entered my heart forsooth, oh pupil of my eye, you are like cool antimony. (Source) |
Guidelines:
- Prompts are entirely optional, to use, subvert or ignore as you please.
- The goal is to write a drabble of at least 100 words in one of the qualifying Remix fandoms. If you end up writing a longer fic, more joy to us all.
- Your drabble must put a chromatic character at the centre of its narrative.
- You can share your drabbles in comments to each day's prompts post, as long as you include a fandom and a rating in your subject.
- You may suggest and/or solicit fandom or character specific prompts in comments, as long as your ratio of prompts to drabbles does not tilt heavily towards the former.
- If you are trying to qualify for Remix 2010, you will need 7 drabbles in any one fandom. You don't have to do Remix to play here, though.
