OP, I totally agree that you get to write what you want, and if people keep pushing for more, you have every right to be annoyed.

I do wonder if "abbreviated" ficlets are more of a thing these days, though? Over the last 2-3 years I've seen a big increase (in my fandom) of ficlets that are really nothing more than a single scene where nothing much happens, e.g. juggernaut pairing cuddles, The End. The ones I'm thinking of don't even have a plot (which, of course, isn't a function of length).

Clearly people enjoy both writing and reading these, so that's all fine. I'm just a little puzzled why this trend arose all of a sudden. It seems to me to be part of a general more trend towards shorter fics (The Shortening?), where what people now call a longfic (over 1,000 words) might once have been called a shortfic. Still, I'm loath to generalize too much based only on the 'doms I've been in.

*a more general trend

*a longfic (around 1,000 words)

Sheesh, I really should learn to preview before I click Post Comment :-P

I wonder if some of that is simply people knocking out short bits on their phones?

Why bother plotting when a fast written short piece will get all the attention before fandoms moves to the next new thing?
