emcue was asking questions about fic length etc which got me thinking. Then I went looking and found this:| Type of Story | Word Length | Estimated Number of Pages |
| Drabble | 100 words | 1 |
| Vignette | Less than 500 words | 1-2 |
| Short-Short | 500-2000 | 2-9 |
| Short Story | 2,500-5,000 | 11-22 |
| Novelette | 5,000-14,000 | 22-61 |
| Novella | 15,000-40,000 | 66-175 |
| Novel | 40,000 | 175 |
Anyone know of any other definitions, or is this about right?
