So um, is there an unofficial minimum? Because I've recently been on a bit of a snippet/ficlet/stuff in between 500 and 2,000 words streak, and since some of the prompts might be read as an AU-setting to play in ...
Ought I to tell my bunnies to fight it out among themselves and settle for writing one long-ish fic before September 14th, or can I also opt for writing several pieces that are stand-alone and complete in themselves but don't actually show (as opposed to hint at or refer to) all parts of the prompt?
We'd like to see it be at least 1000 words; prompts like these normally take some fleshing out, so we figured people would hit that and more.
You mean, for example, using the prompt where Kris is won by Adam in a card game, refering to the card game as a given, and starting with the day Adam tells Kris he won him, or even the night he takes Kris to his bed? That would probably be fine.
If you can write one of these prompts in 2000 words or less, more power to you, but please keep in mind that they're meant to be more than 500 word ficlets. Heck, some of the prompts themselves close in on 500 words. *g*

Thanks - that was exactly what I meant. Writing 'unforgettable nights of wild passion' isn't really my forte, so er, yes.
If any ficlets pop up, I'll just leave the prompts for them unclaimed then. :-)
