One the most powerful pieces of fanfiction I ever read was a drabble. Telling a story in 100 words means that the writer has to be VERY careful when choosing those words, so the writing and reading of good drabbles is often close to the same of poetry. Of course 95% of all drabbles are just churned out to be cute while keeping the word count, but the remaining 5% is the reason why I personally use the "drabble" label by word count, and not by relative length.

I don't usually bother with this debate, but I very much think that the "traditional" definition of the drabble (100 words) is a useful idea and, yeah, I don't understand why it's difficult to use a different word for "really short fic that might or might not have been written in twenty minutes because I was bored".

But does the word having more than one meaning have to prevent people from writing 100-word fics? It seems to me people write fics of an exact word limit for the challenge, not because there's a specific name for it.

Except as mentioned in a comment above, that isn't even a "traditional" meaning of the world drabble. Using "drabble" to describe a < 500 word story has been around for a while.
