Getting there. I think this is going to be the longest fic I've ever written. Kei will never beta for me again after this.

Angry Birds - I lost a good beta to it.

Mine was the longest fic I have ever written for an exchange as well.

Looking at the counter above - how do you know how long the fic is going to be? I am crap at estimating things like that.

She's hopeful, my money's on 15,000 words.

You knew mine would be a lot longer than I thought it was lol

She looked into her crystal ball. :D

No, it will NOT. 13k. Not 15k. That's crazy.

My fingers, they will be little stubs at the end of that.

Mine are still little stubs!

Kei told me the word count, all I can say is lordie. You were inspired.

I give it an educated guess, that's all. Aim for something, be prepared to adjust either higher or lower, the story goes where it goes?

I had no intention of making it that long. I know to do a much simpler plot next time :D

This is how difficult I find it to gauge word amounts - I thought my story would only be about 7000 words long!

Hee-hee, it's growing and growing! :) Good luck! :)

Slowly and surely! I just wish it wasn't quite so slowly. :(
