So, I've come up with a thing. A new drabble variant, intended specifically for those RoyJamie fans out there. May I introduce to you, The 6x9! And before you say anything... not like that. Or, maybe like that, I don't care. The 6x9, coming very obviously and very unoriginally from player numbers, is a half-drabble adjacent form consisting of 54 words, which some of you may have already guessed if you remember your times tables. This is inspired by the 49-word 7x7s of the Blake's 7 fandom, popular during the printzine days.

Do you have what it takes to capture a meaningful moment in just 54 words? Can this moment happen whilst the lads are 69-ing? Possibly. I leave that up to you. Go forth and prosper, or something.

Steps to Writing a 6x9

Think of a thing you would like RJ to think, do, feel, say, etc.
Write it down! Don't be afraid to say too much or too little. Say what needs to be said. The rest comes next.
Trim it down, or beef it up, until it hits 54 words
Double check to make sure the words are good, if not, rinse and repeat until they are
Be proud! You wrote a thing!
