User blog:HopelessNightOwl/Micropasta category?

I feel like there used to be a category for "micropasta" shortly before I became active here, for stories with 500 words or less. Was this the case or am I imagining? And either way, would a micropasta category be a good idea?

Also, since I posted this question in General Discussion the other week without response, I have a followup question: just out of curiosity, which do you think is better for asking questions and engaging the community: the forums or user blogs? Or which do you prefer depending on the type of query?
