TFME Presents:
The 30 Themes Drabble Challenge


 Welcome to TFME's first drabble challenge where you write a drabble/ficlet using one of the thirty themes listed. The challenge is to write a drabble based on one of the following themes. Then write another one. Then another. Do you get the idea?

You can use any character and/or couple from Rurouni Kenshin.

NO CRAP ENTRIES!! This is not a race, take your time.
TFME's submission rules/guidelines still apply!


 

Q&A:

What is a drabble?
A drabble is a one-part story that can be anywhere from fifty to five-thousand words, but is centered around, or inspired by, a pre-set theme.

Do I have to use the themes given? Can I use my own?
Yes, you have to use the themes listed, and no you cannot use one of your own.

Can I write one drabble with more than one theme?
No, each theme has to have its own drabble.

Can I submit a story I have already written?
No.

Is there a prize for completing the challenge?
Bragging rights and a banner made by one of the staff members of TFME.

Can I submit my drabbles on another site?
