The Truth about Drabbles

[louiselux]

I want to know what you all think about drabbles. For me, the best drabbles have an impact that is inversely proportional to their size-- they hit the reader round the face with the all the force of a large well-swung haddock. That's what I aspire to, anyway, one day. I also tend to think that to do that they require a lot of time and effort.

I think the best drabbles are like poetry: they're language in concentrated form. I'm going to recommend one in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel the Series fandom, which I'm not sure if you even read. But it's a lovely drabble.

Exactly my thoughts! Thanks for the rec, too.
