The challenge? A complete fiction story in 100 words that includes the random word for the day.

Thanks for sharing the love by including links to other FS drabbles. You guys are awesome!

Always include a link to either Fiction Shorts or the day’s random word post.

Drabbles By the Numbers

Does anyone else get excited by statistics? I was astounded when I checked them out. What do you think?

People spent 722 hours reading our stories. That’s over 18 forty-hour work weeks. Congratulations!

And, 446 different people visited Fiction Shorts over the last thirty days. That’s a lot of potential eyes on your work!

Do not copy other people’s writer tags! It’s a big Medium no-no. Instead, build your following from the people who read your stories and comment. Ask if they’d like to be added to your tag list. Authors with large lists have built those over time. Be respectful and ask first!

If you want to write drabbles using past words, you can find them in the navigation…
