heh. Strange dreams again.

I'm always amused when I dream of people I've never seen before. The image in my subconscious has got to be SO wrong. XD Although, to be honest, I've dreamed of people before who I do know what they look like, but in my dream they still looked completely different. I just knew it was them, because... it was them. ^^;

So, last night's dream (I don't remember what it was about, unfortunately) featured toxictattoo, lil_1337, and lavenderfrost and a bunch of nameless fandom people.... I do recall having fun, but that's about it. I wish I remembered. *pouts*

Also, something that's been on my mind for a while now is the length of ficcage and the definition thereof. What do you consider drabble, what ficlet, and what fic?

I've decided for myself (quite arbitrarily) that from ~900+ words I call it ficlet, from ~1800+ words fic. Anything less is a drabble. Since I don't write epics, I don't have to deal with the definition of that. :P

So, what about you?

*curious*

How to make an American Quilt is definitely one of my favorite movies, ever. It has such a sweet and gentle feel to it, and the lighting is so very beautiful. So is the music. Watching it makes me feel good. ^_^

It would be hard not to have fun with that group. *grins*

A drabble is 100 words exactly. No more, no less. It's a challenge to express a meaningful idea in so few words--I totally fail at drabble writing. The term gets misused a lot in fandom, but y'know. Whatever. I stick to the actual definition, and don't get bent out of shape and start wanking when people use it in other ways.

For everything else--ficlets, flashfic, microfic, fic--I don't really know. I rarely pay attention to my own word counts, let alone anyone else's. ^^;; As long it's good, you can call it whatever you want and I'll read it. XD

I usually used ficlet for something 200 - 1000. Though the later amount can vary, depending on how I view the fic/ficlet. If it is humour/romance I am more likely to refer to it as ficlet. I guess because it sounds cuter? ^__^;

Oh..strange dreams...those are always strange...

I like your arbitrary definitions of fics...someone has to make them:)
