What's the shortest thing you've ever written? What did you like or dislike about writing at that length?

The shortest thing I've ever done is a Weiss Kreuz piece. I liked that it was bite sized and done quickly (It wasn't a drabble. I wasn't trying for an exact word count). I disliked the fact that I couldn't stretch out and develop a story. Every word had to carry a lot of weight. The story had to be mostly implied from a snapshot of a moment.

I did a one sentence fic meme once. I actually loved it, trying to tell a whole story in a single sentence. Maybe I'll put it up for prompts again this year. I do write drabbles regularly, and I also enjoy trying to write within a framework like that. So yeah, lots of drabbles, those one sentence fic memes. My episode caps are usually 200-300 words. Generally I go long, though.

(Ugh. Work is so stressful that it's made me sick, so today's a rest day.)

I've done plenty of drabbles, but I've done a one-sentence meme here and there, too.
