Here they are! What you’ve all been waiting for! Prompt Board One:
You can click any of the captions above to see larger versions of the images that you can zoom in on, and if you’d find a written list easier to look at/deal with, for any reason, you can find one here
Or if you are reading this post and have absolutely no idea what’s happening, see the announcement post here, and the details news post here
Happy drabbling!

This is a great mix of prompts on these prompt cards!
I'm exited to see what our writers come up with for them.
Happy writing everyone!
Nice! These are such interesting prompts, I'm officially tempted.
Thank you, Mods! Question: if one was considering writing a whole board, and was thinking about how to organize them, would the recommendation would be to lump them together in a series, or would chapters of a single fic be acceptable?
@fortes775: Chapters in a single fic is fine, just make sure to to label which drabble is for which prompt clearly.
Wonderful! Thank you!
Board Two looks fun!
May we post cropped screenshots of the bingo drabble boards in our story notes, or as our drabble banner? If so, who do we credit? See example:
Can I still post my story as part of the event if not every chapter is based on a prompt? So I have 6 or 7 chapters based on these prompts, and 3-4 which are just part of the story but are not connected to any of the prompts.
@mcgnagallsarmy yes that's fine!
@JustWriter: you can post cropped screencaps in your story notes, or as part of a banner image, but it cannot be your complete banner image.
Prompt graphics were made by Cawthraven.
I realise the answer is probably gonna be 'no, way too much work' but would there maybe be a way of listing what stories are a reaction to specific prompts?
@PaganRose: sorry, no. One prompt per drabble.
@Geliot99: we have no way to code for that. It's up to authors/artists to make label which work is a response to which prompt.
Can we use prompts from different boards as a wildcard - hope so because I love a prompt but it is not on the board I will use.
@nmcil: Yes, that's fine!
Do I post drabblemania 2023 myself or do you guys help once I post the drabble and labor it a drabble with the prompt?
@Spuffyfangirl28: you post your drabbles yourself, making sure to tick the relevant box to indicate your work is part of the event, as per the screenshots in the post here: https://dark-solace.org/elysian/news.php?action=newsstory&nid=242
Please label your drabbles with which prompt they relate to.
So excited about board three!!!!
