(Anonymous) 2008-12-15 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)--Who says a drabble needs the plot of a 20 chapter fanfic epic? Can't it just be about one simple moment?
--Short =/= lack of explanation.
--I'd be much more impressed with an impeccable 100 word work than a 10,000 word chapter that is in desperate need of editing, spell check, revision, etc. Quality versus quantity, that demon hangs over always and forever.
--Prose can be any length, who says it has to be insanely long?
--A novel can completely lack plot. A drabble could be full of it. A sentence could have some intense intertwined plot of its own. Again, short =/= lack of plot.
Shorter forms can be incredibly challenging, to fit all the details of some moment/interaction into a small space. You can totally give a fabulous character sketch in a small space. Would you have to reduce it from what it might be? Probably. But you get the most important, definitive stuff then. And who says a drabble can't have style? This fucking comment has a writing style to its own, whether it's my word choice or the way I organize my words in their sentences.
Re: 149
Lack of plot != bad, especially in a short writing form.
