 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
●
.baby shoes, never worn.‘
six-word story by Ernest Hemingway - 'For sale,

● 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.
 DIFFERENCE
●
Snovels, on the other hand, are usually longer, though there's
LENGTH. Comic books have typically 20-24 pages. Graphic
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
 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.
