A drabble is a form of fanfiction. In its 'purest' form, the piece should be 100 words long. It's the haiku of fanfiction. Sort of. Drabbles can create a mood, make a point, make a joke, and some are tiny little stories in themselves.
I recently joined the Jack O'Neill 100 Word Society, a drabble group for Stargate SG-1 fans, in the hopes of kick-starting my writing. The Society puts out one word each week and the writer has to craft a drabble around that word and the character Jack O'Neill. It's basically a writing exercise, but fun.
So here are my drabbles. Enjoy!
Jack contemplates a special birthday.
Jack finds that getting a life is harder than he thought... (humor)
