Drabbling drabbling through the snow...

[darcydodo]

Interesting information provided by Rachel on the origin of drabbling, pursuant to my posting of a drabble at the beginning of the week. I'll repaste it here, since I doubt many of you continue to trawl through the comments on my older posts.

"Well, I was asking darcydodo where the word drabble comes from. She didn't seem to know, so I went googling for it, and found the following suggested origin for the word drabble. I thought I'd share it, because it's one of those stories that is interesting regardless of whether it's true. Apologies to those of you so immersed in the fanfic world that you've known this from the cradle."

Makes me want to try some non-fanfic drabbles, since they do in fact seem to work outside of a larger context, which I had previously assumed would be awfully difficult.
