FLASH FICTION
●Flash fiction goes by many names,
including micro fiction, micro stories,
short-shorts, short short stories, very
short stories, sudden fiction, postcard
fiction, and nanofiction.
●Flash fiction contains all the classic story

elements.
CHARACTERISTICS
●BREVITY. Flash fiction tries to tell the biggest, richest, most
complex story possible within a certain word limit.
●A BEGINNING, MIDDLE, AND END. Most flash fiction tends to

emphasize plot.
● A TWIST OR SURPRISE AT THE END.
●LENGTH. It is usually fewer than 1,000 words long.

1. Flash fiction: Max 1500 words.
2. Sudden fiction: Max 750 words.
3. Drabble, or microfiction: Max 100 words.
4. Dribble, or minisaga: Max 50 words.
5. Twitterature: Max 280 characters.
6. Six-word story: Any story with a single-digit
word count is a category unto itself.
But outside of vague word count parameters, it’s a
difficult genre to categorize. As renowned flash
fictionist Michael Martone put it:
“This form, ‘flash,’ wants play. It can’t be
categorized. It can’t be taught. It knows not to
know.”
e.g.
●six-word story by Ernest Hemingway - 'For sale, baby shoes,
never worn.‘
●Strangers. Friends. Best friends. Lovers. Strangers. –

Potatocats
● Twitter fiction- Limited to 140 words - You asked me to edit

your memoir. It was much more satisfying after I
replaced her name with mine.
e.g.
● Drabble – exactly 100 words
Silent Morning
Dew-flecked grass rippled in the breeze. The morning air chilled me through my
thick clothes. I should've worn a jacket, but I wasn't going inside to get one.
The woods surrounding the cabin were quiet. I sat on the steps, sheltered from
the wind. The sky was crisp, ice blue.
After a long time, the door opened. I held my breath, resolved not to look.
Something landed behind me with a soft thud. I turned to find my jacket within
arm's reach. I looked up, caught a glimpse of his eyes.
The door rattled closed, then gave way to silence.
GRAPHIC NOVEL
●The term “graphic novel" can also refer to comic books
that have a more adult-oriented theme.
● A type of text combining words and images—essentially

a comic. A complete story is presented as a book rather
than a periodical.
●Graphic novel is usually taken to mean a long comic

narrative for a mature audience, published in
hardback or paperback and sold in bookstores, with
serious literary themes and sophisticated artwork.
GRAPHIC NOVEL
●A comic book may contain a single story, 2 stories, or as
many as 3 or 4 stories between its pages, which may or
may not all have the same characters. A graphic novel
normally contains only a single story with the same cast
of characters.
●Comic books traditionally have been bound with

staples, much like prose magazines of similar size.
Graphic novels, on the other hand, are usually bound
the way thicker magazines and books are bound.
DIFFERENCES
●LENGTH. Comic books have typically 20-24 pages. Graphic novels,
on the other hand, are usually longer, though there's no set length.
●ADS. Comic books often have several pages of ads, while graphic
novels generally do not have advertising.
● SERIAL VS. ANTHOLOGY. Many of the comics we most readily

recognize are serialized. Graphic novels, on the other hand, are
often written as standalone works.
●Graphic novels can also be anthologies and these are sometimes

called 'trade paperbacks' or simply 'trades.'
SIMILARITIES
●AGE. The image of the graphic novel reader is more mature and
academically inclined. All told, graphic novels (and comics, for that
matter) can be enjoyed by people of any age.
●FORMAT. Graphic novels use the same text bubble and image
panel format that we find in comics. Many illustration and lettering
styles are also shared.
●SUBJECT MATTER. Like comics; graphic novels, despite their

connection by name to longer works of fictional prose, can cover
fictional as well as nonfictional events.
