Type of your story according length of story

Hello, I'm sure you guys can write some fanfiction, and I'm sure you all have already known some kind of fanfiction. I just wanna reviewing what kind story that you created according the length of story. Okay, check this :)

  1. Drabble Story: A drabble is an extremely short work of fiction of exactly one hundred, you can make it less than 200-300 words in length, not necessarily including the title. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space.
  2. Ficlet: Longer than drabble, but still very short. Shorter than oneshot story that could reach 2,000-3,000 words.
  3. Oneshot: It commonly known as a short story. The number of words can be a thousand to more than it, but you can finish it on one chapter or part. 
  4. Double shot/Twoshots: The story consists of two parts, finish on two part/chapter.
  5. Short story: The story continued that only has a chapter/section/part less than 'Chaptered Fic'. Short story usually consists of 4-5 shots only.
  6. Songfic: The story described from the song. So every 1-2 sentence from the lyrics of the song, you can make a story based on the lyrics.
  7. Chaptered/Series Fic/Multichapter Fic: Just like a novel. It has many chapters, the conflict may be more than one.
  8. Universe: space, figure, and the core of the same story, but each story can not be sustainable. You can read one story without reading another story. Can be read as a oneshot story. Maybe you've read a book by Dewi Dee Lestari titled Rectoverso, or Chicken Soup for the Soul books, yeah like that's Universe story.
  9. Crossover: fanfic is made ​​by combining two or more stories. For example, combining the character of Harry Potter to Star Wars. Not only the characters, story elements can also be combined (two world combined), such as Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings.

Okay, Maybe this could be a simple guide you in making a story. Maybe useful, thank you :)
