I can understand why some people might not like to read drabbles. They're - short. Well, that's it. Because everything else about drabbles is brillant. But yes, they are short. Of course I too like to read thousands of words about my favourite pairing, so 100 words, because that's the kind of drabble I mean, are not enough.
But that's also why I love to write drabbles. It's a challenge to put all you need to say for a short story in so little words. It can be full of crack, like a joke, it can be sensual, like a small poem.
Speaking of challenge - last week I took part in Drabble Day 2016. For half a day we received a different prompt every hour, and then we would write drabbles until the next prompt was up. Then we would write more drabbles. Never had a day passed that quickly - well, at least since Drabble Day 2012.
- My Drabble Day 2016 drabbles are here on AO3 -
I wrote two bandom-drabbles: one in the Killjoy-universe and one P!itD, but also lots of other fandoms.
