Intro:
Welcome to year six! Twelvetide Drabbles is an annual fourteen-day drabble challenge to keep our spirits up and raise money for a social justice cause during the holiday season. Fanfic and fanart in all fandoms, as well as original works, are welcome.
Drabble Match Fund
As we have since 2017, we ran the challenge as a fundraiser! The 2020 challenge raised money for the Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies. Each work posted to the challenge raised $8.00 USD for the Partnership! Thank you all for your generosity.

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. Audiovisual submissions should be a single file; they will need to be uploaded to another platform and embedded in the body of the Ao3 work.
4. 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!
5. Entries should be in response to / inspired by the day's prompt however directly, loosely, or subversively you wish to draw the connection.
6. In order to count toward the drabble match donation, works must be posted between 9:00am EST (UST -5) on 24 December 2020 and 9:00pm EST (UST -5) on 6 January 2021. The collection at Ao3 will only be open for new works during this window of time.
7. 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.
8. There aren't any other rules -- thanks for joining us!
