(Okay.
So, if anyone remembers: In last July (which was already nearly 9 months ago omg), there was a "Donro Week 2023" event here. From 23 July to 29 July.
For once, I had...actually planned to participate in it (which would have been the second time I participate in a community event, after a (small) Discord secret santa in 2021).
Of course via writing, because you won't want to see me draw.
The format of the (story) writings would have been like this:
If anyone still remembers, there were "question prompts" for each day of the Donro Week (in addition to the "one-word" prompts, like "Lazy Days" for Day 1, or "AU" for Day 6).
The question prompts were something like:
[Day 1: "How do you think Donald and Gyro first met and become friends, then eventual partners?"
Day 2: "What qualities do Donald and Gyro get annoyed by or not like in each other?"
Day 5: "How do you think the extended Gearloose and Duck family would react to their relationship?"]
etc.
What I had planned to do, was writing out a set of Dewey Dew-Night interview scenarios, in which Dewey asks Paperino and Archimedes the corresponding question for that day.
[NB: Not Donald and Gyro, at least not the DT17 versions. You will see why below.]
The format would have actually been like the "Chicken Soup" thing I had written all the way in 2020. Free form, equally cringe.
Uh...that didn't happen. Obviously. And for some unknown reasons, because I was somewhat motivated and inspired during that time much better than now at least. So...sorry.
But what I did write, however, was the "intro" to this set of "interview stories"...which is the entire purpose I am saying all this context all of a sudden. It has been a while, and way too long since I last produced and published...something.
It is a very short story - not even a complete one - but it is one of the last things I did before I kind of...stopped. Everything.
I also wrote this on a train, too.)
[A very late tag, but I hope it is the thought that counts. Thank you for organising this wonderful event. Just watching/reading through others' works was already super awesome.]

Donro Week 2023 [July 23th ~ July 29th]
(Just a small note: Sentences/Words in italic mean they are not supposed to be caught on camera, but are caught on camera accidentally regardless.)
Dewey: (Dewey Dew-Night Intro!)
Dewey: "And joining us tonight are two birds of a feather you know very well, yet ALSO know NOTHING about! *Gasp!* How is that possible?! Go on, ask! How is that possible?!"
"......"
Huey: "What?"
Dewey: "Dude, you are supposed to ask out loud. We've talked about this."
Louie: "You...you were serious..."
Dewey: "When was I not serious? Actually, don't answer that. Just cooperate. Ask that aloud, c'mon."
Huey & Louie: "*Sigh* Oh my god, how is that possible?!"
Dewey: "Well, I dunno!"
*LOL!*
*Facepalm*
Dewey: "But we are about to find out! 'Cause joinin' us tonight is the greatest uncle of the universes...Donald Duck!"
Donald (Paperino): "Hi!...wait where even is the camera? That rectangular gadget on the stack of books?"
Dewey: "As well as the brightest mind in all Duckburgs, across space and time...Gyro Gearloose!"
Gyro (Archimedes): "H-hello...! Nice to meet you, people of the...uh...interweb? Internetwork? What was that again, modern Dewey?"
Dewey: "*chuckle* Well, pardon the old timers, you can say they might as well have come from the 20th century!"
*Laughter!*
Dewey: "And if you have guessed so, you are absolutely CORRECT! No prize though, sorry. Don't think they are only cosplaying..."
Paperino: "Cospl...what?"
Archimedes: "Just go along with it, honey..."
Dewey: "'Cause who you are seeing are literal time travellers! *Gasp!*"
Archimedes: "Well, technically, we are dimension trav-"
Dewey: "Thanks to this world's Gyro's now upgraded Time n' Space Tub™️..."
Huey: "Which he forbids you from entering a 20-metre radius around?"
Dewey: "...which I definitely have permission to enter a 20-metre radius around! Now! I bring you, Paperino and Archimedes Pitagorico! Donald Duck and Gyro Gearloose from another universe!"
*Fanfare! Applause!*
Dewey: "Stay tuned after the intermission for the exciting interview that ensues!"
Louie: "Wait, you literally haven't done anything yet-"
Dewey: "This is Dewford Dingus Duck, your beloved handsome host from Dewey Dew-Night! Don't forget to like n' subscribe! See ya!"
Louie: "Dude, you literally haven't done ANYTHING yet!"
Paperino: "Subscribe? Is this a newspaper or a magazine?"
Archimedes: "Wait, is this an interroga-"
*Recording cuts*
