 Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2005 3:44 pm Post subject: Drabble category? |
 |
|
I've noticed (and encouraged ) a bunch of drabbles, ah, dribbling in lately. In my mind, drabbles are different from other fic, more like a prose/poetry hybrid. What would you think of (and how much work would it be?) creating a Drabble category? Lord knows I'm uninterested in making more work for Robbie the Wonderprogrammer; just thought it might be fun to have a place for the drabbles to congregate.  |

| I think this would be a good idea. Maybe even a category for them. I often write birthday drabbles and it would be neat for them to have somewhere to be posted all together. |

If it would not be a horrible amount of work for the admins, I also think this would be a good idea. I have really been into the drabbles recently. It would be nice to see a category for them because they are indeed a particular writing skill.

And not only that... I wanted to change my own drabbles to that category and they were already done... just wow  
So yes, a big thank you for the admins for this!

Thanks for suggesting this, Viv. Now, where do you find them? I looked in the main category list, but did not see them. I tried to move my drabbles over to the new category, but there was not a drabble option. Doing a search of drabbles came up with some, but not all of them. I will sit here patiently until someone comes by that can help me out. Thanks again, Viv.

I know if you go to the search page, there is a separate list now that says to include drabbles, exclude drabbles or look only for drabbles, so I dunno but maybe if you left the other areas blank and just did a search for 'only drabbles'? Or else put in what characters / authors you're looking for (for instance if it's your own you want to find all in one place)

It's a tick box on the edit page of your stories, Rous. And it's also an option on the search page.
do.

Thanks, Space, I did find that. Now I can go and fix the drabbles that are not showing up. I must have missed the box when I first checked it out. I thought it would be a drop down in the category or something.
