#the tags and titles and blurbs would just be nonsense with that many ficlets

You can filter AO3 by word count! You can put just a minimum, or just a maximum, or both! Or neither! AO3 has the best filters! You can exclude and include different things on the same search! It's GREAT! That means anyone can post anything as long as they label what it is! (And word count is automatic, so they don't even have to do anything!)
If you do a mini-fic or three-sentence meme (that used to be a thing) which may be even less than 100 words depending on how you write, you should post them on AO3 HOWEVER YOU WANT because IT'S YOUR ARCHIVE. 🎉
poll time!
*for context: usually I disagree with this practice and think things like [prompt] month fills should be standalone works in a collection/series. but I have a hunch people might feel differently about drabbles since they're so short.
I’m genuinely curious about this, but also I’ve been writing a lot of drabbles here on tumblr and I’m on the fence about sharing them anywhere else. thanks for voting and reblogging!
#also like#I *personally* put my drabbles/ficlets into multi-chapter collections#but I limit by fandom and character so they're not gigantic nonsense#and even so that means no new readers click on them#they just don't#but they work very well#for repeat readers or people clicking links from tumblr#and as an archive so I the author can find things again#rather than having 1000 tiny things because FOR ME (ymmv)#the tags and titles and blurbs would just be nonsense with that many ficlets#and I would NEVER be able to find anything EVER AGAIN#jilly spam#in the tags#tumblr polls#on ao3#and my abominable abuse of exclamation points
