...Yeah, okay, you basically said you'll take good over bad anyday Well, duh. Of course an excellent drabble is better than a shitty longfic, but that's not the point here. The point is the difference between an excellent drabble and an equally excellent longfic.

Harder to answer.

Srsly, I dont mean to be rude, but better arguments plz.

Why should it matter the length of a written piece?

What's the difference between an excellent drabble and an equally excellent longfic. ?

That's actually easy to answer. It's the length since you stated that the quality of content is the same. But in that person's mind. . .it doesn't matter because it's a drabble. I get the impression from that secret that because they have ZERO respect for a drabble and a drabbler writer, then a bad fic would be held higher than an excellent drabble.

And THAT is why I stated the "obvious" that I would take a great drabble over a bad fic.

The argument over which is better: an excellent long piece of fiction or an excellent drabble can go either way. One person could say the drabble is better since someone is able to express so much in so few words. Someone else could then say that the longer piece of fiction is better since the author would have to keep momentum going for a longer period of time.

My obvious point? One should judge on content, not length.

Now see, when people refer to fic they read, regardless of length, I tend to immediately infer they are NOT talking about badfic by any stretch of the imagination, because who reads and enjoys badfic for anything other than lulz? Thus I never even garnered that the person would prefer badfic over anything.

Also, if we're talking about a long piece of fiction as a novel specifically in the context of art rather than pure enjoyment, then there is no contest. A good novel takes far more effort than a good drabble (that is not to say a drabble doesn't require substantial effort itself), no questions asked.

Again, I don't mean the enjoyment one gets from either. That's all personal opinion.
