Drabble for the kitty?
Welcome to the Cat's Birthday HP Drabblethon!
Celebrating the fifth birthday of my beautiful black cat, Bestia. Dedicated to the entertainment of all who care to participate.

Think of a topic for somebody else to write a drabble about. Add your topic to this poll. Wait until tomorrow to find out which topic you've been assigned in exchange. Yes, you might get anything, from H/G fluff to Hagrid/Buckbeak. Be brave; think of this as a chance to discover your inner Gryffindor.

We're doing this on British time. Hogwarts time. [What time is it over there now?] This poll is being posted as midnight strikes at Hogwarts on April 17, and will remain open for 24 hours.

Bestia the Sorting Cat will consider all the topics, shed on them, and make her decision.

As midnight strikes at Hogwarts on April 18, I'll post the list of who's writing which topic. You'll then have 24 hours to produce your 100-word drabble.

Any topics still unwritten as midnight strikes at Hogwarts on April 19 will be reposted as an open challenge, available to anyone who cares to try. (Since some people around here are truly incorrigible drabblers, I think it's safe to predict that every topic, even the oddest, will get written eventually.)

ETA 24 hours later: This poll is now closed. The list of who's writing which topic is posted here.

Poll #280053 Cat's Birthday HP Drabblethon: collecting topics
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 126

Provide a topic for somebody else to drabble on: this can be a character, a pairing, a theme, a kink, a keyword, a quote, whatever. Anything goes, but it must be HP; no crossovers. Field length: 100 characters.


ETA: If you make a mistake, or reconsider, you can edit your answer by going to the Fill out Poll page and re-submitting - if you're logged in properly, and LJ is cooperating.

Only I'm out of town tomorrow all day, so I'll have to wait and see what others contribute then! Happy Birthday, Bestia! I miss my black kitty so much....

Thanks for the cat's birthday greetings - and I really hope you have time to write a hundred words of Dumbledore/Ollivander! :D

Oooh! Dumbledore/Ollivander - What possibilities!

It's 4:15 my time, so I'm starting my 24-hour clock now. :Rubs hands together merrily....

What day is Bestia's birthday? The seventeenth? If so, your cat and my mother have the same birthday. And you and I have the same birthday. Eerie. I wonder if my mom is your cat.

Happy Birthday, Bestia!

(McTab: I will be awfully upset if I get that consensual het sex featuring Hufflepuffs. May I bribe you to let me have the nastier stuff? Or at least to let it be queer? *paws and mews pathetically*)

The Sorting Cat thanks you for the birthday greetings, but asks me to remind you that the surest way of getting any particular topic is asking not to get it. For she is a mean kitty, yea, verily - with the Paw of Doom. :D

Oh no, what have I done? *quivers* Can I please, please not have the Snape/Harry? Please? Or... or... the asphyxiation! Or the--OH, WAIT--Tom/Draco chan!

OMG, THE HORRIBLE CHAN! PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME THE CHAN!

Happy birthday to Bestia!

If we get a drabble request with initials, can we plug in whoever we want with those initials? SS could be Severus Snape, Salazar Slytherin, Stan Shupike, or any of the other people with S-last names that don't have a canon first name.

I am so hoping for the Dumbledore striptease.

Harry watched in horror. Snape muttered to him under his breath. "Oh yes. He does this every year.

"The worst part is, he takes the socks off last."

I - I was going to just wish Bestia a Happy Birthday but now ... I feel like I have to make her an offer she can't refuse. Er, fancy mice as a species of hush money? (and a cheer if anyone gets that).

Feh to LJ's polls which won't let me enter in the full topic. Here it is:

And I’ll not hide it, though our heaven be hell."
