FAQ
How long is microfiction?
There’s no single rule, but microfiction typically ranges from a handful of words up to about 300 words; many enthusiasts treat 100 words or fewer as a classic microfiction or drabble.
What’s the difference between microfiction and flash fiction?
Flash fiction is a broader category that covers very short stories—often up to 1,000 words—while microfiction specifically emphasizes extremely tight constraints (like 100 words or less) and a single, concentrated moment or image.
Can a microfiction tell a full romance?
A microfiction can’t show an entire relationship arc in detail, but it can evoke a complete emotional beat—a turning point, revelation, or memory—that implies a larger romance and leaves the reader with a strong emotional impression.
