Okay, listen up! Halloween month is legit my favourite time of the year and I am going to Try Very Hard not to let living amidst moving boxes (tenancy signed, move definitely happening but not until like 10th of Nov, more on the house and stuff in another post) and being tight on money this month (rent and current place + deposit for new place + moving costs = bye bye savings) ruin it for me. Not even the fact that my throat hurst, I unexpectedly had to work today to cover for a sick colleague and am exhausted is going to ruin it. Nuh-uh, I refuse.
Autumn! Pumpkins! Candles! Black cats! (always of course) Witchery! Wearing my many Halloween themed clothes! Aaaannnd... Maybe doing little something, something like writing... Sopushkin666, dreamersdare and I have been thinking (dangerous) and are going to try what DD has dubbed 'Spooktober Drabblefest 2023: 31 drabbles in 31 fandoms in 31 days'.
Rules are... Well, fuck that, do whatever you like basically, or nothing at all. There are a lot of various Halloween themed prompt lists out there, I know DD has found one that she's using andpushkin666 is maybe working from another one. Me? I'm going to... what's the phrase? As yes, 'wing it'. Will they be drabbles? Who knows, might do a poem. What is a fandom? Whatever I feel like, which means original fic may crop up. Am I going to use prompts? Maybe the prompts will use me!
I am going to wing it like a vampire turning into a flock of bats, wear my black velvet cape (possibly to work i don't fucking care) and also post spooky musics at abandon.
Spellbound? Oh, you will be. *winks, tips witch's hat at you and disappears in a swirl of fog*

I would like to write... but right now I'll just take being upright successfully, ta very much!

Oh no, sounds like you're going through it at the moment. Sending all good vibes to help you stay upright <3

I don't think I'll put it on AO3 because of it being connected to a published series, but will sooner rather than later put it free on my Wordpress site. It's not really Halloween-ish but it is about a dragon!!
