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!

I think we're all feeling a bit run down and inspiration seems to be waning, so I thought we're revisit an old favourite everyone enjoyed this week!

The current week's theme is: Comedy

This can be anything related to Comedy Is laughter racing through the halls of Hogwarts? Are Holiday one-liners starting to sneak into conversation? Or is the wit less subtle?

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 18th December 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!

And remember to warn for porn!

I'm kind of drowning with the advent fic I'm writing (I realise I do not have the discipline to keep chipping away at the same fic every day), so here's a snippet from that, which someone has advised me was unexpectedly amusing.

"That was relatively painless, wasn't it?" Harry said bracingly as they exited the Quidditch stadium.

The air was crisp and the ground was covered with a new blanket of snow, which must have fallen as they were inside the weatherproof stadium. The whiteness of the snow shone off Harry's face and seemed to make him glow against the brilliantly blue sky. It was almost enough to make Draco forget about the absolutely appalling match they'd just witnessed. Almost.

Draco was unable to hold back a snort. "If you're talking about Wilkinson's pathetic attempt to distract the Holyhead Keeper by balancing a Bludger on his head, I'd have to politely disagree. That has got to be one of the more ghastly Quidditch accidents I've had the misfortune to witness. And did you see the Seeker? Weaving around the hoops like she was drunk. Honestly."

"Well, there's that," Harry admitted, "but I was kind of referring to the outing as a whole. It was relatively painless coming here with me, wasn't it?"

Draco's eyes met Harry's. "There is that."
