"You seem to read more fanfic before? XD; But maybe reading everything certain people write is still a lot. XD;"
Yeah, seems a little contradictory, but one person (
uss_spambot) is insanely prolific. She's written in 30+ fandoms and has written... 500+ fics. And she hasn't finished uploading them either (she's been moving her archive) - she's got another two-hundred to go. o_____o;; And her fics are massive. And while she has preferences for characters, she doesn't solely focus on them either. So, yeah, I pretty much read anything she writes, because it's so awesome. :3

"The middle parts are always so hard to write!"
XDD My middle parts just grow and grow and grow.

"Tea... like coffee?"
I knooow~ It's weird. It doesn't taste that different from what I normally have though, so I have no idea.

"But you also have a lot crossed out now!"
The crossed out fics are very much in the minority though. XDD;; I get too many ideas and then leave the fandom.

" I think your writing has improved a lot recently"
\o/ :D :D :D Yey!

"Those writing books helped a lot?"
*nods* They definitely did. :3

"Whoa! XD"
XDD *laughs* But it's truuuuue~

I think you might have pasted this comment twice. I guess it's not as huge as it looks. XD;

Oh whoa, 500+ fics? In how long? :O Even after NaNo, I still think huge word counts are insane. (50k is probably nothing for some writers, haha)

The middle parts of my fics are nonexistent. XD;

*facepalm* Must have forgotten to ctrl+a first.

In... twelve years, I think?

>_____> There's a fic over on ff.net that has a word count of a million. I'm sure I've seen it. I didn't try to read it though. XDD;

Yeeeeah. XD I did a quick search in the Harry Potter fandom and found a fic that was 900k+ so maybe I was thinking of seeing someone who wrote 500k in one fic, and then in the sequel, wrote another 500k?

So, since you mentioned ffnet and word count, I took a look at my overall word count since 2000 (this is with author notes and headers included), and it's only 1/3rd of that!

900k for one fic is amazing. @____@

Some fanfic are truly very long though. I think I've read a lot of fanfic that's longer than most novels I read. I went to the library today and checked out some books, thinking they were so short. I can probably finish them very quickly. XD;

900k for anything is huuuuge. X___X Wish I'd checked how long it took them to get to that point...

Some books seem really tiny now. XDD;

I already finished one of the books I checked out from the library. XDD (Dragon's Bait). I wonder if it's actually even shorter than my NaNo. XDDD
