Roundup: Seasons of Drabbles Winter 2024

[firecat]

A drabble is a work with exactly 100 words, and seasonsofdrabbles is an exchange for works with word counts in multiples of 100. It runs several rounds per year. This season, 343 works were posted in 190 fandoms.

I posted a triple drabble, Orpheus/Euridice from Ancient Greek myth, with a twist.

I received a bounty of riches! There’s so much creative talent in fanwork exchanges!

• Double Drabble about Poirot/Hastings from Agatha Christie’s Poirot
  
• Double Drabble about the Mill House from Constantine TV
  
• Six-drabble sequence about Aziraphale/Crowley from Good Omens TV
  
• Triple Drabble about Spot from Star Trek: The Next Generation
  
• Twelve-drabble sequence about Kirk & Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series
