Satan totally hate-wanked when he was in Lucifer's body and you can't convince me otherwise.

SLATTERY: Do we get an extra point for pointing out that Saddam Hussein was once a member of Village People? DEATON: Interestingly, no. MERTON: Isn’t he the new man in Deirdre Barlow’s life?

SLATTERY: Angus, we can be more accurate for a bonus point. I think it’s thirty Mars Bars, and the point of the exercise was that bees, in terms of aerodynamic logic, shouldn’t really be able to fly.

DEATON: I made Thatcher what boasts Nigel? MERTON: Swallow.

If I use my chosen name rather than my birth name, my 1880s name is General, which is hilarious because HOW WERE SO MANY BOYS CALLED GENERAL?

I need to know, for science: Fanfic writers, what is a drabble?

Exactly 100 words. The limit is the challenge.

Around 100 words.

Anything less than 1000 words could be a drabble.

Drabble is just another term for one-shot.

Any fic can be a drabble.

A drabble is anything that can fit on a post-it note.

Non-writers also free to weigh in.

There is a correct answer here by the way. I am a drabble purist but I want to know what other people think about this beloved format.

Fifty percent of the people who answered this are WRONG. And it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me every time I see it.
