what's the difference between a drabble, a ficlet, and a ~1000 word fic?

drabble - exactly 100 words

For me, a drabble is exactly 100 words. A ficlet is anything under a thousand words, though in the middle 300-800 range most of the time. A fic is anything a thousand words and up, and then it's just like 'short fic' and 'long fic' and 'rivalling Proust.'

Drabble is 100 words, ficlets tend to be vignettes rather than a whole story, a fic tries to give at least a whole scene, if not a plot
