There seems to be a trend among my friends list now to say "flashfic" instead of "ficlet", as if one fan-created word was inherently less inane or silly than the other. As if disliking the original enough to start a trend of an entirely new word to replace it isn't inane and silly in and of itself. Whatever. Fad, people, it's all fad. If the label is that important, call it what it is: a short story.

Are any of these too long? Is there a word limit for that option?

Is *that* what flashfic means? I assumed it only referred to a challenge like the FfaT where everyone writes a pairing for another person. Huh.

Hey, don't feel bad. On the internet, odds are 50 that you're right and I'm totally wrong. Let me know if you find out from someone else.
