I have reached blackout on my 8-13-13 card for the [community profile] origfic_bingo  fest.  That link goes to my card, along with links to the five row bingo posts made on the source community.  I customarily call bingo one row or column at a time, whichever I complete first.

Tangent: How you do define "microfic"?

Thank you, but I'd still like to know how aldersprig defines it.

FWIW, I use "microfic" for bits shorter than a drabble, and "flashfic" for anything longer than a drabble, just to sort them somehow.

I use microfic for 50-~250-300 words, and flash fic for 300-1000 words.

I use "drabble" mostly to mean things that aren't a stand-alone story.

I'm not sure how I got that definition. I suppose 'vignette' is more appropriate.

I had not known it was 100-words; I'd first encountered it as a community for short fic.

Ficlet is an interesting one.

I've definitely found that. If I so an opening scene, it often intrigues people enough that they want more; if I'm writing in a canon like Addergoole, a suggestion of a scene can be enough to whet the appetite.

It is really bothering me, this mis-use of mine of the word drabble. :-/

I'm still okay with my use of Microfic though.
