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. ^_^

A drabble is 100 words exactly.

See, I didn't even KNOW that. *sweatdrop*

I always thought a drabble was just something very short since I've seen it used that way most of the time.

Hm. I've seen exact word count restrictions, but usually it explicitly said "100 words".

XD Now I feel quite ignorant.

Well, like I said--the term gets misused, a lot. It's not really a big deal, since the 100-word challenge still exists, and who really cares what you call it? I just always approach something labeled as a "drabble" with the knowledge that it may be anywhere from 100 to 1000 words long.

Anyway, it's still a shiny new word, so the definition is bound to be fairly fluid. It doesn't even appear in any dictionaries, to the best of my knowledge (Wiktionary nothwithstanding).
