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!
