200 CCs are 200 word short stories. I featured about 60 of them here before letting my attention drift elsewhere. But I liked the format and I wanted to post more. Unlike other microfiction formats they aren’t hard limited to their word counts (no more, no less). They should fall between about 185-215 words, though, or they become something else.
