OK I'll Start ....

 But you guys gotta promise to keep it going - we can take turns, k?

First Drabble "Contest"

(can be double, triple, whatever if you like)

Use the following words *consults Old West Dictionary*

Ace-in-the-hole*, varmint, dogie, tenderfoot

Let the Plotting Begin!

I'm not sure what sort of time frame we should set on these - two weeks sound about right? Then somebody else can come up with some sort of contest - more drabbles, icons, short stories, whatever.
 
*This officially now counts as ONE word!

Is ace-in-the-hole one word or four, please?

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

Ace-in-the-hole counts as ONE word according to ... ME!

Honestly --- didn't even think of that when I put it down .... shows how many of these thing's I've done.

[laurose8.livejournal.com]

I should have known that without asking.

And I think it's a great idea. (I'm not very good with languages, though)

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

Don't have to be good ... just willing to toss out a drabble

If you need definitions google "old west dictionary" coz I'm sure they got that online too

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

All the words in the same story, or just pick which one you want? :)

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

Nope ... gotta be all of em ... *snickers*

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Eeevil!!! ;)

I might just find a way to CHEAT! ;)

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

Heyes would be proud of you!!

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

*dusts off hands*

Muahahahahaha.... >:)

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

All in the same drabble? That'll be difficult, you varmint.

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

Can't help it ... Heyes is dictating.

[renbyrnes.livejournal.com]

How long is a drabble?

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

100 words.

Exactly.

Use Word Count

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

Oh, and if you want to see an example - click on my user ID because I just did a new one for snape100. I also got tags that will show you all my drabbles.

We got several good drabble examples in this community also - many of them are "double drabbles" (200 words) and "triple" drabbles (300 words), so you probably didn't realize they were drabbles!

[devilshole.livejournal.com]

Since I don't drabble I should probably butt out, but dogie, when referring to cattle, has one g, whatever that dictionary might say. ;-)


Just sayin'.

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

And you know .... damned if I didn't KNOW that already! Thanks for the catch - correcting

[devilshole.livejournal.com]

I like "dogie" as a slang term, but my favorite bit on that subject is in the pilot where the bartender goes "They'll be drivin' them beeves..." and every time I just go "BEEEEEEVES?" I mean, I know it's a term they used, but the way he says it makes me laugh every time.

I can't even actually remember anyone saying "dogies" in the series ...

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

Nope, they didn't. But they didn't use any of the other terms either (that I know of).

BEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVES

*mooooo*
