True. But a collection of drabbles is not exactly the same thing as one lone drabble. You do make a good point about pruning the story to the taste of the recipient, but I still think that, unless someone explicitly asks for a drabble, no one would write just the one 100-word thing for an exchange. A collection maybe, if that's allowed. There's also an extent to how far you should go to please the other person; you should still stick with your strengths. If someone is a known good writer of drabbles and hasn't written much else, I would rather receive a collection of drabbles from them, because not only would they feel more comfortable writing but I know the quality of the gift will be better for it. Just. Not one drabble. It's a really touchy issue, but there it is XD

I can pump out a drabble far faster than I can pump out a longfic. I just usually think my drabbles are higher quality.

I think this is much of the same point I first made somewhere all the way up there, actually. Yeah, it is: I also have no problem with a known good writer of drabbles putting out nothing but shorts. I think the real issue is skill. :)

I have to admit I haven't read most of the other comments in this post XD; So I apologize for making a redundant point.

I totally agree on the gift thing. I... I can't even imagine just submitting a drabble. I mean, I also can't imagine just submitting a medium length fic either XD; Because gifts are a pretty touchy area |D

It's cool. I was just getting very tired of repeating the same thing over and over in some other comments because people either choose to misconstrue their meaning or just ignore them altogether. I wonder how it is that just by saying I dislike a certain aspect of drabbledom, I automatically seem to some like an out-and-out hater who fails to see the light of day.

I admit when I saw the secret my initial reaction was exactly as follows:

....

):

):

>OOOOO

):

Only, with not emoticons. But as someone who pretty much defines her writing by flash fiction it's like a kick to the kidneys XD But yeah, once I got over the initial >O and ): I totally see the valid points people have been making. I just need a bandaid for my kidneys XD

I don't like that secret. It's intentionally rude, and I highly suspect it might actually be wankbait. But it did remind me of the one thing that always bugged me about the drabble situation - hey, nothing's perfect :)
