Hmmm... I had thought that drabbles could be 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 words long, but you are of course correct.

Set by the Birmingham University SF Society as thus: a self-contained vignette of exactly 100 words, no more, no less, with up to 15 more words are allowed for the title. Hyphenated words are in dispute. The term originates from a Monty Python skit: "Drabble. A word game for 2 to 4 players. The four players sit from left to right and the first person to write a novel wins." Drabbles started in British SF fandom in the late '80s. A half-drabble is fifty words long; a double drabble is 200 words long.

From the Fanfic Glossary (http://www.subreality.com/glossary/terms.htm#D).

This makes my nomenclature dilemma even more pressing (ha! as if any of this is pressing *g*), since not only is there no accepted word for under 100 words, there's not one for between 101 and 500.

The Glossary has no entry for ficlet.
