and

Tokyo Babylon
Sugar

3. booklog_sff is now really kicking with the discussions starting about Curse of Chalion. Yay

Drabble

[pigeonhed]

A drabble is a short story of EXACTLY one hundred words so your stories are not actaully drabbles.

I know this definition. There's not only one definition of the word. I use both. *shrugs*

Re: Drabble

As the article on wikipedia states clearly, the word is often misused. There is only one correct definition, that laid down over 20 years ago and enshrined by the publication by Beccon Publications of The Drabble Project and its subsequent volumes.

A word isn't defined by the wikipedia, or by a publication. It's defined by the consensus of the people who use it.

[dizilla]

not going to jump in to the discussion already here... but in essence, as long as it's under 500 words it can be considered a drabble. It's hard for me to keep to 100 words so I tend to do double or triple drabbles. ^^;; As for defining stories by word length, I always like to use this site as a guide:
http://www.trickster.org/symposium/symp162.html

Even there the author indicates it's mainly defined by the fandom and fen you're writing for.

-Yeah I finally got over my cold a few days ago and just when I find out I have my nephew for the week, I develop another cough. >_> Dontcha love how that always happens? XD

[etrangere]

Ooh fun informations. I guess it was flash fic actually. *doesn't like the term* oh well...

arghness for cold.

Hope you get better soon!

And I liked both stories.. regardless of whether they are technically drabbles or not.

[etrangere]

Thank you!

Yeah, I can't find myself caring much about the name ^^

When I read about your throatache, I had to think for a moment: but throatache is not transmittable via the internet.

I hope you are feeling better soon. And, yay, for a little creativity push. ^^

[etrangere]

I don't think it is XD

[scriva]

I should have added that, since yesterday, I have a throatache as well. That's why I had the strange idea.

[etrangere]

aaah, that makes more sense.

Hihi, stranger things have happened ^^
