Want some advice? No? Too bad.
Thank goodness sophisticate Sarah T. continues to share her worldly refinement and complexity with us mere plebes. And after all of the recent, well-intentioned "Welcome to Smallvile fandom, newbies!" overtures, too.

Want to introduce yourself to other SV writers by participating in the wednesday100? Here's some unsolicited advice: "A drabble is meant to be a technical challenge, not an excuse to put any old thing down on the page quickly and call it a story (and get that precious feedback and feeling of validation). I don't like to make huge generalizations about the writing process, but I think it's safe to say that if you're unsophisticated enough not to understand that, you're fairly unlikely to rise to the challenge."

If that isn't condescending enough, she pats everyone on the head with the following: "Believe it or not, it will be easier for you to write a good [story] than a good drabble. And no one will deduct points for the story's origin."

"deduct points"? What the? Thanks for grading on a curve, Sarah!

P.S. Yes, I know. Shooting fish in a barrel. Still, wank! ::points::
