I started a post over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
porch_talk about drabbles and I got all ambitious and daring and decided to host a mini, instant drabbleathon right here, right now.
You can stop running away, heh, heh; I locked the doors ::evil grin::
Seriously, no work involved; not asking you to write a new one; far from it; just post your own favourite drabble here and say why you like it. Anyone can play; if you don't write/write drabbles but read one you really liked, link to that. I'm interested in what makes a drabble a good one for you; did you get in a great punchline, a perfect image, a twisty turny plot, snappy dialogue? What makes this one special for you as the writer?
G'wan...:;whine:: It's rainy and I'm bored. Show me yours and I'll show you mine ;-)
(Oh, and no way to do cuts in comments (is there?) so I guess if you pick one with spoilers/NC 17, it's reader beware :;gnaws lip:: Umm. Don't think anyone on my list would be bothered by the smut but maybe if it's seriously spoilery you could choose another bestest favourite? ::bats eyes::)
Here's mine;
Bored Now
He’s getting impatient now, strong hands skimming soft breasts, tweaking at pert nipples roughly. His hands go lower, sliding and groping, and, on cue, her moans increase in volume. They madden him and he runs questing hands through her long hair, fingers splayed out.
He hisses with frustration and slides one finger between those perfect lips, growling angrily as she automatically starts to suck, to lick. His finger explores the warm dampness and withdraws.
Giving in, he throws himself into a chair and stares moodily at his annoying new toy.
“Wanker must have put an off switch somewhere,” he mutters.

This is my first drabble so it's a little sad that it's my favourite; shouldn't I have, I don't know, got better after writing 29? Never mind. I like it because it's funny; drabbles are usually (not always) one note in the tone; too hard to go from comedy to tragedy in 100 words....though not impossible. I like it because it tricks the reader and I get a kick out of that because I'm evil. It's also telling you something about the way I see Spike; never satisfied, unwilling to settle for second best for long, aware enough to know that what he's got isn't Buffy. I think this is what would have happened if he'd got to keep the Buffybot; he didn't so it's guesswork, but that's where the fun comes in.
::waits hopefully::
ETA Thanks to everyone who's posted so far ::hearts you all:: Gosh, I've had fun reading them; old favourites, new gems.
