man if those are yours I'm just angry

200 words isn't a fic, it's a paragraph

the fact that you've got tens of thousands of hits on this shit just makes me rage.

But drabbles are a legitimate form of fanfic engagement that you're in no way required to read??

Seriously, in small fandoms sometimes that's all you're gonna get. Not every writer is down to pen 100k epics for a fandom of twenty. And some people just prefer short form.

oh I'm well aware. and I do not partake. but I can still be angry. it's petty and stupid and I don't care.

You're right, that is petty and stupid.

All those numbers are mine. Sorry you're jealous! Lol

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2018-05-31 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
WEll, fuck you and your bullshit lol very much.

By the way, it's "envious" not jealous. I take this an indicative of your writing.

DA

Thank you, anon, I LOL'd

*indication

I guess your writing isn't so hot either.

(Anonymous) 2018-05-31 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
To be fair, they're not the one bragging about how successful their fics are.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2018-05-31 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Nor yours, as using 'indication' doesn't in fact work in that sentence. I would guess there was a typo and they meant to write "as indicative" which would be correct.

Eww.

(Anonymous) 2018-05-31 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I understand preferring shorter fics, but anything under 1,000 that isn't a comment fic or fill on a kink meme or something seems like a waste of time to me (and even then I prefer 5,000+ word fics). It's completely baffling to me that so many people are apparently satisfied by glorified drabbles.

(Anonymous) 2018-05-31 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, depends on the purpose of those fics. I'm perfectly content with a 400 words fic for a missing scene after my show did the fade to black thing, for example.

(Anonymous) 2018-05-31 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I was curious how a 200-word fic got so many kudos (turns out it's really easy to find on ao3), and this is Skysolo smut posted a couple years ago. So, tens of thousands of hits for smut of a popular ship in a massive fandom. That's the key.
