Discovered In A Drabble

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Well that went down well! *g* A big thank you, again, to loyseofverlaine and moth2fic, who between them set the ball rolling - there were more than fifty Pros drabbles in the end, from writers old and new! So thank you everyone who drabbled, too! It was absolutely fantastic to see so much Pros through my flist this weekend, just... stunning.

( A bit about archiving - drabblers please read! )

empty_mirrors has been hard at work tagging all the drabbles, so they will as ever be accessible through the User Info page. I rather think that we'll also include them in the pdf version of Dialj Bound: Discovered In 1977, perhaps as a sort of interlude chapter... *g* If you'd rather your drabble wasn't included, then do let me know below as well!

And finally - keep your eyes on discoveredinalj tomorrow... It's the end of September, there's a new challenge just around the corner... *g*

Discovered in the Anarchist Cookbook

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

God save the Queen,
The fascist regime.


The Sex Pistols and The Clash, The Buzzcocks and Siouxsie Sue; Never Mind the Bollocks and White Riot. Bondage gear, King's Road and Vivienne Westwood. No celebration of 1977 would be complete without a nod to Punk Rock and its associated political movements.

What we want, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, is Anarchy In the UK, a White Riot in 1977, Holidays in the Sun while London's Burning 'cause we're all Pretty Vacant and there's No More Heroes any more.

So, anarchy on the streets, in headquarters, between the lads or involving them. Punks on the rampage, or a visit to Malcolm McLaren's boutique SEX. Whatever you fancy and however it grabs your interest. Short or long, art, vid, or fiction, any and all are welcome.

Plus, come and share your stories. Were you the kid with the mohican? Did you raid your mum's kitchen for food colouring and black plastic bags? Did you use safety pins as earrings? Or maybe punks were the colourful older generation? The ones you looked up to and wanted to become. Whatever your memories, tell us and help us get a feel for the way things were back when the lads were just getting ready to appear on the small screen.

Comment below as usual and if you want a specific prompt, just ask. Posting dates between the 13th and 20th of October.
