Quick Quill Quotes Week #5 Posting is now Closed.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
It's Wednesday!
Some of us are feeling tired and run-down. Some of us can't wait for the weekend to finally come. And some of us have already thrown our plot bunnies into the ether.
But never fear, Quick Quill Quotes is here!
Take up your Biros and Ballpoints! Brandish your sharpener and retrieve that dreaded red marker from its dusty corner! Flex those fingers!
The current week's theme is: Comedy
This can be anything related to Comedy. Does laughter fill the air in whatever setting you've chosen for your scene? Have you, as a writer, decided you want to bring joy to your readers hearts with jokes galore? Or is one of your characters full of particularly bad puns?
We’ll love to read anything you give us!
So give us a snippet of a current piece you're working on, don't be shy! Whether there's only one word related to the theme or it's a devoted sonnet, we want to hear about it.
Don’t have anything related to this weeks theme? No problem. A new drabble within the word limit is an excellent contribution as well! Only got 50 words? So what? Every word counts!
Entering and Rules
The snippet or drabble must be 400 words or under. It should be a new drabble OR from a current work. It should also, however loosely, be related to this weeks theme.
To participate, simply leave your contribution as a comment below.
Posting will close Wednesday 9th October at 00.00 GMT
Don't be afraid to cheer on your fellow writers!
Good Luck!
Note: Even after posting closes feel free to let a well-deserving author know how much you loved their snippet! Comments on entries do not close!

H[arry] waits until Ron pulls on a pair of track-bottoms before he gets up from the floor. Thankfully, he’s fully clothed himself, but he’s definitely still wearing the tight trousers that Ginny dressed him in, and fuck, is that glitter?
“Did you actually make it into the Crossed Wands last night then?” asks Ron, when Harry doesn’t answer. He’s grinning widely at Harry in the mirror, as he runs a hand through his shaggy hair, and examining his very hickey-laden neck and shoulders. “Shit, she really did a number on me last night.”
“I did.”
Ron whirls around, and Harry really wishes he didn’t have to make everything so dramatic -- especially not when his head is starting to spin. “Bloody hell, I was just taking the piss, but you really did?”
Sighing, Harry pulls a hand through his hair, wincing as it gets stuck in a clump of hair gel -- fuck, he hopes it’s hair gel. “I really, really did.”
“Did you pull?”
Incredulous, Harry’s mouth drops open. “That’s the question you ask? Really, of all the things to ask, that’s the thing you ask?”
Ron laughs. “Well, that’s why people go to bars, Harry. To pull. Did you pull?” He turns back to the mirror and smirks at himself. “I pulled.”
“I don’t think it’s really considered ‘pulling’ if it’s your girlfriend,” Harry says, as he manages to get himself back up on the bed. His head spins less when his eyes are closed, he finds.
“Susan’s not really my girlfriend, Harry, it’s just a --”
“--thing,” Harry finishes for him, “yes, I know. Still not really pulling.”
“Stop avoiding my question. I can’t tell if you’re avoiding because you did or because you didn’t.”
“I didn’t,” Harry sighs, scrubbing a hand over his face. He would really, very much like this conversation to be over. “And you’re probably going to be late if you don’t get a move on.”
