Day 14

In your own space, share your love for something fannish: a trope, cliché, kink, motif, theme, format, or fandom.

I decided to tell you of my love fro drabbles or 100 word stories. I love ficlets and a such but drabbles, to me, are tiny workshops in control. If I can tell you a story in 100 words and it makes sense, then I can tell you a much longer story without excess verbosity.

I love the writing style of Annie Proulx in Brokeback Mountain and Flannery O'Connor. Their work is raw and spare - it implies feelings that they manage to convey in few words. I only hope that my opwn work will be anywhere near that good.

And I feel that drabble writing is a good way for me to work on that.

DRABBLES! Drabbles are my dream as a podficcer. It's like instant gratification. :D

Drabbles are awesome! They're how I started writing in fandom, basically, and, yeah, I love how much you can do with 100 words and all of the tweaking that happens to make that story better and still have it be exactly 100 words. \Drabbles/

I have so much love for drabbles! The way a good writer can get across so much in just 100 words is fantastic.
