Open Thread: Oracle Hotline

[mithen]

I've been traveling and overwhelmed for the last month, but am finally back on a schedule, I hope! I got to meet the two wrestlers I write most about in person at last, and they told me how much they loved and appreciated my work (the non-fiction, not the fiction, which I assume/pray they know nothing about!). So that was... amazing. Definitely overwhelming.

--What's the shortest work you've ever published?

A quick search of AO3 reveals it's a set of eight haiku that comes in at 108 words. Which means I've never published a true drabble, I guess, which seems a shame! How about you, I hope all has been well with your writing!

Wow, that sounds fantastic! I felt the same way when I met David Marciano of Due South in person as the head of his fan club. :) You'll always remember those moments.

My shortest works have been drabbles, a handful over the years. It's a great discipline to write one of those darned things! :)

My writing's going pretty well. Mostly Han/Luke and I'm enjoying every minute! :)

Hmm, looks like my shortest work was 146 words on AO3. I've done true drabbles but it was a series of interconnecting drabbles that totaled to 1K so it doesn't quite count. I don't have anything that short on the original side. I believe the shortest there is about 2K words.

Glad to see you back! I've been enjoying seeing your replies oaver the last few days. Congrats on meeting your wrestlers! That sounds amazing and wonderful and just a bit nail-biting on the fiction side. ;)

In my case it's all drabbles. ;) I love me the 100 word drabbles. Always a good challenge.

Sounds exciting! I'm glad you got to meet them in person and they appreciate your essays.
