is it just me? Is anyone else tired of these drabble things that seem to be the latest fashion for today's harried and homework laden writers? They're barely writing exercises, and I'm tired of going to an ML to see nothing but 100-500 word mini what-ifs. Seriously, what happened to writing (or at least attempting) a long, say 10 page, oneshot, or an epic? A trilogy? A oneshot and a sequel? I'm starting to seriously question how often I visit these mailing lists and message boards when there's nothing but "Christmas Drabble" "100 word drabble" "nothing-better-to-do-so-I-spit-this-out drabble."
If they were parodying the gothic style of fragmented narratives, that might be fun, but nooo...
Shit, story idea. Like I don't have enough on the freakin' platter. >_< KC
