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.

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

[chaotic-binky.livejournal.com]

Lol :D

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

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

[chaotic-binky.livejournal.com]

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!
