anghraineI just posted the forty-fifth chapter of my longfic.
This is just ... what??? I myself am wondering if I'm a Pod Person! Where did I find the discipline for forty-five chapters of anything??? My own original novel is barely into its eighth, and my longest fic before this was ... I think around 80k, and written in a 2.5-month manic haze.
Now that I think of it, though, wgdots is really the opposite: written with mania-depression dialed far down care of proper treatment. And accomplishing something like this through discipline and work is really much more satisfying than something that's more like a chemical spill.
Apparently, all I needed was murder, incest, politics, and very extended family drama with borderline OCs. And Lamictal!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

on 2016-05-04 06:18 am (UTC)wgdots chapters are ~10 pages and the novel's are ~20, which I suppose comes out to about 45:16, which is still pretty damn disproportionate, lol. But it's also an amazing fandom. I can be assured of 5-12 comments a chapter, which is pretty much UNICORNS by my usual AO3 standards, and it keeps me plodding along where my own discipline would probably fail.
