Drabble

For other uses, see Drabble (disambiguation).

A story consisting of exactly 100 words.

The format was used especially in Doctor Who fandom, from the 1990s onward.

When the name was adopted by other fandoms, ignorant fans overlooked the length requirement, leading to a wide misuse of the term.
