Ficlets

I Have a Problem (Ficlet Addict Support Group Meeting)

Hi, everyone. I’m the Storykeeper of Fae, and I’m addicted to Ficlets. This feels good, knowing I have a problem.

I do have a problem. In math class, a classmate (who is addicted to his calculator) asked me why 1024 was a significant number. I smiled enormously and stated, “That’s the character limit for a Ficlet.”
He denied the existence of Ficlets. I gave him a contemptuous “Look it up!”
You know you have a problem when you keep things secret. I’ve mentioned Ficlets briefly to one friend. No one else knows. I must keep my identity a secret. I am the Storykeeper.
I remember my early days. My first ficlet was total crap, looking back. I didn’t really write anything good until I sequeled something. YodaOnCrack gave me a comment, perhaps my first, that ensured I stayed on Ficlets until, well, until now. I’ve only written 97 Ficlets. Never been on the Active Authors, never written a featured ficlet, but I remember being on the most popular list. That was euphoria.

Thanks for listening.
