WORDS HAVE MEANING YOU SAY? Well, then, I guess "drabble" has nothing at all to do with writing, because everyone outside of fandom seems to think it has to do with being wet and dirty and/or being a woman named Mary Drabble.

Shut the fuck up about your stupid shit that no one of consequence actually cares about and go home. There are a metric fuckton of successful, published writers who are better than you or any fanfic writer you know who have never heard of your bullshit definition of the word "drabble," and you going up to them and saying "WELL YOU CAN'T CLAIM TO BE A WRITER THEN NYAAAAH" won't change that fact.

YOU AND YOUR ILK are the one changing the meanings of words, cupcake. And the actual world doesn't give two shits about it.
