Nah, I think they always want someone else to put one up first, so they know what to do. I've noticed that a lot of the drabbes I've entered, I was the first one to post.

Who do you think will win? Having looked at mine now, I'm kinda embarrased about it. I thought it looked good originally, but everytime I saw someone else post theirs, I couldn't help but feel theirs was better

To be honest, I really hate anything that suggests love between people. It makes me feel sick. So writing that took me 5 hours, as I had to keep stopping to rid myself of the feeling. But shabd had been really excited about reading mine and I had given her a push to find new ways of sparking interest and I therefore didn't want to let her down.
Reading each drabble for this has brought that feeling, but worse than when I was writing mine. It tells me that yours are then better. Urgh, I'm actually getting the feeling just talking about it. Think I'll go now, before I'm sick over my pride and joy.

Hehe, I like it if it's well-done and believable. If I can't believe it, then I don't like it. I also don't really like writing it, cause I'd prefer to write something angsty or depressing cause I like that better than love-ish stuff.
And just cause everyone else's was different doesn't mean your's is bad. Not everyone is going to interpret the prompt the same way.

Yup, you did. *nods* Thank you. I'd be grateful for any further ideas as well, from anyone. =)
I'm glad you participated, Crys. Next time, don't make me chase you with PMs, though! =D
Not everyone is comfortable writing about love. That's part of the reason why I left it so open - it didn't have to be the romantic kind of love, like ArcticFire mentioned. You know what would have been really interesting, though? If someone had written a letter of love to an inanimate object. ^^

woah i go and come back and its like 2 pages of conversation!! so anyways, im never really against writing or reading about love but i definitely like tragic love stories the best.
dont worry nio i thought your drabble was funny! and crystall your's was sweet. =)
thanks crystall but i never really liked my drabble. i thought shabd would declare the results and i wanted to write something so i wrote whatever came first! i should totally spend more time on drabbles... but i always realize a bit too late that i want to enter something as well.
O.o yeah that i think would be hilarious!! inanimate object... quite an interesting idea. damn shouldda thought of that =D

Maybe I would haev felt better writing about that instead. Could have avoided the pain.
But now I think about it, I believe it would have been hilariously funny if someone had done what they thought Hermione had sent to Lockhart at that Valentine's! Or even Lockhart sending one to himself!

=D
Deadline for contests is August 29th. Which leaves you with ample time to come up with something. Since nobody else has entered the writing contests, you'll automatically be declared the winner. How cool is that? =P

I always think of stuff for the drabbles at the last minute XD. And at like, 12:00 at night : P.
And the inanimate object love letter would definitely be funny : D.
And, euca, yours was awesome. I never like my drabbles either, though : P. I doubt anyone really does. It's kind of weird, reading your own writing XD.
