Things better left unsaid

I managed to finish the things I needed to finish writing for this month, and I'd mentioned to sporkmetender that I was always listening to something relatively inappropriate and why I was semi-glad that these mashups hadn't turned up on my first efforts at drabbling for the last iMeme.

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random.
3. Write a drabble/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the length of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do five of these and post them.

Those were the rules last time.

This time, I've tossed all the mashups I have (and will continue to acquire more and toss those into the folder here. Feel free to download and listen and then pick one (and post a comment) and I'll write a drabble based upon that mashup. I won't bother with my mp3 random because I figure people are more random than the technology. :)

The songs might be odd, but the fic will hopefully made up for it. Some stuff is not-safe-for-work or whatnot. And yes, I do listen to these songs. :)

So. It's April, and it seems like the ink is still dribbling from the pen so I might as well try to take advantage and leave little scratch marks on the page as opposed to having blue ink spots in a shirt pocket.

April's DWP challenge involves the concept of 'three' - see Things Come in Threes. However, I'm playing with another variant on the theme - just the 'three' (and its multiples) for this month. There will be a theme (sort of), and the requisite number of drabbles to follow.

The first three drabbles combine for a total of 536 words.

( Three times where Miranda Priestly admit the truth to herself. )

So I wasn't writing drabbles before... as in before the iTune's meme, and before a whole bunch of other things. However, over the span of three weeks, I've cranked out more words than I really want to think about.

There are two sets of words I've used - the 'legitimate' list of words as part of dvlwears_prada's ABCs of DWP drabble challenge shown here and a second round of words that I borrowed from the alphabetsoup Alternate Non-Themed Prompt List
