FICTION ARCHIVE
Insofar as story length is concerned, I adhere,
generally, to the conventions established by the Science Fiction Writers of
America, some of which are listed below:
Drabble: Precisely 100 words
Vignette: 1 – 2,500 words
Short Story: 2,501 – 7,500 words
Novelette: 7,501 – 17,500 words
Novella: 17,501 – 40,000 words
Short Novel: 40,001 – 60,000 words
Novel: 60,000-plus words
A handful of these (perhaps six or seven out of 150+)
are incomplete. I hope to address and resolve this issue eventually,
but will make no promises on that score. A number
of stories are listed as “under revision.” Some are online; others are not. I
plan to repost all of them eventually, and address consistency and
canonicity issues as time permits.
Links are in blue. Story arcs are entitled, and the
pieces contained within indented.
