Comments

[ronsard.livejournal.com]

And because I can already anticipate all the counterarguments that will, again, not actually address anything I've said in any of my comments, and would rather not have to roll my eyes any longer about this, here are a few bottom lines:

- Writing a good drabble & writing a good story of some length: not the same skill.

- However, a bad drabble is easier to write than an equally bad fic - yes, because it is shorter - hence there are usually more bad drabbles being spammed around. For certain fandoms, I have checked. This annoys me. If people started writing tons of long badfic and spammed them around, that would annoy me too, but for the time being the drabbles are suffering more for it.

- In fic exchanges, people don't usually give drabbles. This has nothing to do with how good you are as a writer, but is only about evening out the playing field, curtailing the potentially awkward situation.

And for God's sake, stop telling me that I hate drabbles and think all drabble writers are lazy. I like drabbles, but if you guys keep trying, you might as well reverse-reverse-psychology me into hating them. I hate the bad drabbles that glut some fandoms. And you know what, sometimes I actually do wish some drabble writers would try something longer. Know why? Because I think they are good writers, and wonder what a long fic from them would be like. Not because I find the drabbles lacking.

People, please don't reply unless you have a new point to make. You've already made me regurgitate my own points over and over; I won't do the same to you.
