I can't really see the point of a drabble if you aren't at least trying to adhere to the 100-word restriction. It's like writing haiku with more than the 5/7/5 combo - if you aren't working with that restriction, what's the point?

[lady_songsmith]

Exactly! And the format really gives it punch, if you're willing to work with it. My best piece of writing is a drabble. It was HARD, but paring out the extra words really made what was left bite hard. Loose word counts just water down the story.

I don't mind about +/- 5; that's in the quibble range of technicality (auto word count that uses spaces? that uses characters divided by 5? hand counting? is 'a' a word? are not-usually-hyphenated adjectives counted as one word?) but outside that range you're not even trying.

I have yet to find a good "drabble" when it wasn't 100 words, but found some fantastic ones when they stuck to the wordcount. I suppose that's the one upside about people's misuse of the drabble tag - if it says drabble and it's way more than 100 words, I know not to bother reading it.
