Why not? Sounds like a good idea, at least for the moment. I was actually starting to wonder if people were posting entries that were locked...
What about tryng to write a drabble about a DiR character wanting to / or placing a 'personal' add?? (Hey, they must have lives outside the fighting :p )
I'm kind of with you - I think structure is good, but I also can never manage drabble in a week. (Lame but true.) And so I never participate, because while I know I could hold onto a ficlet til the amnesty week, that would mean I'd have to be sure to know when that was, and I tend to fall off the face of the internet occasionally.
thoughts... what about a new topic a week, but you have the entire month to get the drabbles done? for ex, any challenge proposed in January could be answered in January?
also, maybe there could also be a static post, where comm members could suggest drabble topics?
But...I am rather change averse when it comes to this comm. I love this community, especially Gramarye's challenges--although I do see Sam's point. Could we try tinkering/smaller changes like lengthening the time available and doing exchanges, at least at first? I'd love to see ash's pictures as prompts, too.
I like the idea of being able to post a drabble that isn't themed or challenged related. Some of the other drabble comms that I have posted in, in other fandoms, allow the non-theme or non-challenge drabble to also be posted, in addition to the theme/challenge ones.
Also, the idea of having more time to reply to a challenge post would be good. I'm not on this LJ that much, so that would help me.
However, I think that there should probably be a separate comm for longer fics.

Perhaps lengthening the challenge time - like one a month, with maybe a couple "wild rounds" or something thrown in?
Or maybe it's time to consider doing a Dark Is Rising fic challenge exchange or something...

Gramarye, do you still have time for this?

I never had the chance to take part until now, I'm a newbie, but I'd be happy to! ^_^
