A fanfic poll! When you see someone with a fic series called "drabbles", how long do you expect the fics in the series to be, generally?
Boosts welcome, and so are replies indicating your answer plus the rough range of years in which you started experiencing fanfic.
@hobiis it wouldn’t be strange to find some double (200 words) or triple (300 words) drabbles in a drabble collection but i would assume 1) the individual multi drabbles in question would labeled as such and 2) all the fics would be multiples of 100 give or take a few words to account for software word counting differences
so many other established terms if you just want to mean “short” including short! but also flash fiction (<1500 words) one shot (length flexible but constrained to a single scene), micro fiction (these days I often see <500 characters but “under 100 words” is also a common definition), tweetfic (originally composed as a tweet, with requisite character limit attached)
@Satsuma Flash fiction is another term I don't see often in fannish spaces these days! Do you remember round robin flash fic exchanges?
