Ask and Ye Shall Receive!

That is how I got a lovely diamond pendant from Mr Monster instead of a blender for my birthday (and how he avoided head injury). AND that is how we are getting these amazing tiny, evocative and very very touching Drabbles from AngelTeen linked below:

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/rangrasiya/4010299/mirror-images-drabble-series-last-drabble-note-pg56-24-05

If you are a new writer, thinking---but I cant do a full story, I cant write an entire One Shot--here is inspiration for you. You dont have to write an epic when you start. Get your feet wet. Write just a small scene.

Note how AngelTeen has taken very few words to paint very beautiful small moments between Rudra and Paro. There is much to love here, from her use of language (simple, precise) to even the tiny length that she has limited herself to--a few lines, at most.

The two drabbles posted (and she is promising more--go encourage her!) are worth a few minutes of your time...but I guarantee, you'll be thinking of them again and again for the rest of the day.

Check it out!

Monster-sa! How amazing an idea!

I have loads of requests for badhiya badhiya writers on this forum.

And I can't believe you actually included my name in the list. *Sloppy pucchi*



I was actually planning a drabble series. But I will read what others have posted on this weekend.

Also, can I nominate a writer name??


Couch_Potato is a dear friend, and an amazing writer!

Check out her 4 part series called Inheritance Of Loss here..



And asmanichatri as well!

Her SS on PaRud called Heirloom is brilliant as well!

That's a nice idea. Even on the weekends I'm thinking of what to do and read. I would love to read really good stories.

First of all, I am incredibly, incredibly humbled and flattered. I'm absolutely thrilled you all like my work. My nominations are already up on the list- Semanti, CurledUp, What_the, and Niyoti are just some of the writers I would have suggested.

I'd also like to suggest white-lies. She's a new writer, but she's absolutely phenomenal. She has an ongoing work, but I believe she's busy this week- I'd still like to nominate her, in hopes that she will join us.

I actually do have another proposal- I'd like to ask eight other writers to join me on this, if they'd like to. I was initially planning to do it myself, but I don't think I have the time to take on such a large project.

Which is why I've suggested this- It would a collaboration- a series of oneshots for the Navarasas. We would post one every weekend- a different writer every time.


It wouldn't be too much work- and it would work for nine weeks, with every writer only required to do one. Thoughts?

If I think? I was hoping you would join me! I need seven more! We can work out the details however you'd like. I have an idea for which one I'd like to do, but I will hold off on expressing that until I have seven more and we can plan properly šŸ˜†

Choti-Desi--what a fantastic idea! If we each take one, we can totally create an interconnected series on this theme---I am in! Being Bengali, I dont know much about Navarasas, so I have to do a bit of research, but if you place me in the middle of the nine weeks stretch we can bring this on! If you want my imput that is...

Yes yes yes! Absolutely thrilled that you will be joining us 😊 Six more! I'll post the list of emotions here- from doing Bharatanatyam, I am rather familiar with this:

Sringara (love)
Haasya (laughter)
Karuna (compassion)
Rudra (anger)
Veera (bravery)
Bheebhatsya (disgust)
Bhayanaka (fear)
Adbutha (surprise)
Shaanta (peace)

That was the list I learned. I apologize if I'm incorrect, please do let me know!

Also, @AngelTeen- Of course! I would be delighted to have you on board. Five more!

*rushes in like the late kid in class*

Hello hello hello all!

This idea is ama-zing! Seeing Napster's post I've just realized I've been nominated. *nervous laugh*

But I'm a little lost. *raises hand*
Is there a list or something where it says who's writing on which day?
Is the story only meant to be an os/two shot for the week end, or is it a story that they are doing already?

*smiles*
