Although I know I complain about having to hit a certain count exactly and how difficult that is, honestly, I think in this case, I prefer having that specific word count to hit. That's what makes the challenge so sweet.

When I first started writing fanfic, I hadn't written anything in years (decades, actually). Then I started shipping ss/hg and one of the first places I started posting was grangersnape100. It seemed like it should be easy using a weekly prompt and writing a single 100-word vignette, (or in my case it often ended up being a series with 100 words each). But having to tell a brief story with a finite amount of words is incredibly challenging. I think it makes better writers of us, learning to choose our words with the utmost economy to tell the tale.
