Hi ~
I'm quite confused about fanfiction terminology...
I want to do something which is taking and idea from my notes and write a thread about, the length of that thread might be between 300 to 2000 words or more (cause most of my ideas make lengthy works and I don't know if I can write them all)
So my question is, what should I call them? A drabble, a snippet or a flashfic/ficlet? A different term?Or should I not name them at all?
I would appreciate your feedback ~~♡

hiii!! i saw posty replied with all the definitions and everything with was perf!! but i can just add that i think that u dont have to worry about it too much or anything,,, i also kinda mix between some of the terms, in my head a drabble is just a short little story of a scene in your head, and a snippet is more like a short section taken from a longer piece of work!! i didnt really know much about flashfic/ficlet but it sounds very similar to a drabble, just something that's complete to you of a scene or lil storyline!! but if ur making it a thread, ive usually seen ppl call it a thread fic or maybe a drabble!! those both can fit into what ur writing!! like cloud mentioned, i don't think u necessarily even have to name them if u dont like,,, its all personal preference!! hope ur writing goes well <33
