Intro:
Drabble Match Fund
As we did in years three and four we ran this challenge as a fundraiser with a drabble match fund. This year's funds were donated to the Environmental Defense Fund. We had a total pledge of $2.20/drabble or artwork posted to the collection and raised $237.60 for EDF.

For those who want a bit of extra inspiration on the day, each newsletter will contain recipes featuring the day's prompt and a visual or two.

Rules:
1. All fic entries should be short (100 words is, strictly speaking, the length of a drabble...you may hold yourself to that or just keep it brief).
2. All art should be a single image.
3. You may post multiple prompt fills per prompt; you do not have to post fills for every prompt. Participate at any level that works for you. You also don't need to post your prompt fills on the specific day for each fill (unless you want to hold yourself to that goal). We're flexible!
4. Entries should be in response to / inspired by the day's prompt however directly, loosely, or subversively you wish to draw the connection.
5. In order to count toward the drabble match donation, works must be posted between 9:00am EST (UST -5) on 24 December 2019 and 9:00pm EST (UST -5) on 6 January 2020. The collection will be open for new works only during this window of time.
6. If you choose to publish some or all of your prompt fills as chapters in a single work each chapter will count as an independent submission for the purposes of the match fund.
7. There aren't really any other rules -- thanks for joining us!
