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!

I was hoping to finish this o/s in time to submit it to the HP Owned fest, but it grew too big for me to even attempt to submit in time. So I'm still working away and writing it. This scene always makes me laugh, though maybe it's just because of my crackpot sense of humour.

“You coming to the get together next week, Evans? Now the little brats are at home for the summer, you have no reason not to.”

Harry snorted and rolled his eyes good naturedly. “They’re not brats, Lev. They’re young children. And I enjoy my work, just like you enjoy working with nutcases like me on a daily basis.”

“I resent that. I do not enjoy it. You nutters just pay well.” Lev barked out a rough laugh and Harry grinned. Yes, Levi was a good friend, no matter what Dolores thought, and he always had Harry’s back. He’d introduced Harry to more than enough good, trustworthy Doms over the past year, and though none of them had quite worked out, for reasons Harry couldn’t explain to them without actually sounding like a nutter, he hadn’t given up, and even played the role of Dom for Harry when he really needed it.

“Yes, I’m going to come, you made me promise, remember? Who knows, I might even find what I’m looking for this time.”

“Ah, yes, the link to your elusive former life before Dolores found you wandering around shitty Bitteswell by yourself and took you under her extremely flabby, pink, wool swaddled wing.”

“Lev!” Harry choked on a laugh as Levi grinned unashamedly.

“I’m telling you, that woman wears too much pink. It’s like she’s a four year old trapped inside an eighty year old’s body.”

“Dolores is only just about to reach fifty.”

“She doesn’t look it. But enough about old toad face, just thinking about her makes my dick want to shrivel up and fall off. Make sure you look your best. A friend of mine is going to come down. I think you’ll like him. I know you said you don’t like red heads in a sexual or romantic sense, but I think he might just change your mind.”

Harry groaned and Lev tsked. “I’ll see you tomorrow for golf, or did you want to do cricket instead? I might be able to get a few guys together, see if we can get a whole team. Maybe a little bit of footie?”

“Yeah, whatever, you pick. Just know that you won’t win no matter what we play.”

“Ah, shut it, Evans. I kick your arse every time we play football.”

“Only penalty shoot outs!”

“It still counts!” Lev laughed as Harry chucked a hand towel in his direction half-heartedly. “See you tomorrow, loser.”

“Tosser.”

“Not since Emily came on the scene.”

Well, I definitely laughed! And I totally want to read this when it's done!

^_^ Thank you!

I'm hoping to have it done and completed during the Christmas holidays when I'll have time from uni to actually sit and write something other than coursework, lol!
