Sixteen drabbles. Wow.
In less than two days the whole 'Drabble Theatre' thing has evolved from an interesting title for a writing exercise to, I'm not sure what, but something much bigger.
Thanks Edeyn for making this possible, and thanks to those authors who found the concept as attractive as I did for the inclusion of your stories.

Thanks for inviting us.
I'd done one drabble before as an exercise, but had kind of forgotten about the concept until you opened the theatre.
I like how the minimal nature of a drabble gives you an excuse to be vague, and trying to hit one hundred exactly is good practice.
Half are old
8 of the 16 that have been added were already on-site, plus 4 of your 5 were on-site before we added the title page and permalink. So. 75% of the Drabbles there were already written.
Ah, yes, but
The authors, you said, had to request to be included? Good enough for me.

DRABBLED COMMENT
Pen to paper, mind on hold, release a writing, don’t let the line get cold.
To dabble this way is to explore, using your readers mind to be bold.
The reason I enjoy both drabbles and short-short stories is that they rely on the reader to fill in the back ground. This way the reader can extend out the story if they so wish. I have relied on inferred references in a few of my stories, hoping to have the reader fill in the story, to this date I do not know if that is working, still it is fun.
