Drabble has a specific meaning? O_O

I thought it was just a stand-alone short fic, approx. under 1000 words. Weird.

And I'm still going to keep using it "wrong", because why not. I'll make someone on the internet not read my fic? ...That's a problem why, exactly?

Well, you are free to keep using it wrong, but there is a reason why the concept of a drabble came into being in the first place, and why so many people are deadset on that meaning. You're actually probably losing a lot of readers if you label a fic a drabble even though it isn't 100 words. (If you want, try "shortfic" or "flashfic"). For a lot of people, the 100 words restriction is as much a part of drabbles as the 5/7/5 structure is a part of haikus.

Actually, according to wikipedia, it came into being as 100+, so anything under wouldn't count, but anything 100 words and over can be called a drabble.

Under that definition, though, that means even 500k epics can be called a drabble, yet no one in their right mind would.

DA and not anon at all : quite frankly, losing readers based on such a petty reason won't be a big loss from my POV.
