Well, I don't think drabbles have to punch you in the gut necessarily. But I think what's hard about them is that they have to have the same impact as a regular-length story with very little set-up or resolution time. And I find that hard a lot of the time. But it's rewarding, too! :-)
But oh god, yeah, especially someplace like hp_halloween, there's always one or two drabbles that manage the punch to the gut. I remember a Filch gen piece once that actually made me sit here and weep at the end. 200 words and I was weeping! Now that is really something. <3
