What are drabbles? How about one-shots?
Observant readers would have noticed that I have posted drabbles here recently. So, what are drabbles? They seem like one-shots or incomplete fics. Well, sort of both in a way...
Well, one-shots are one-shots. They are fics which I have fleshed out and wrote in complete detail and meant to stand as it is.
Drabbles are shorter, experimental and tend to contain story ideas that I have in my head that are not fully fleshed out. Just snapshots or snippets, to show the premise or plot idea I have contemplated. Perhaps one day in the distant future, I may decide to write more and flesh out the drabble into a full length fic. But, most of the time, I just write it out to get the idea out of my head. So some drabbles may be good, some may be bad. (Like Broken Glass, it seems like a sad depressed fic, but in reality, I do intend it to be happy ending, but with some angst. However, as I said, it's just a drabble, a snapshot of the fic.)
If you read drabbles, just be warned that I may not turn them into full length fics. Feedback is of course appreciated, and with sufficient muse, I may do so in the future. Currently have plate full with Jacket, BSNS, LFS. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy reading the drabbles!

Thanks so much! I had actually been slightly confused. But- please please turn at least Room Mate into a full length fiction- it seems funny, if a bit cliche. Of course, I'd prefer you'd update some older fics first (whatever happened to What If? Or LFS?)
