Flipside! Writers' version.

1) Under 500 words.
2) Under 1,000 words.
3) Between 1,000 words and 5,000 words.
4) Betwen 5,000 words and 10,000 words.
5) Between 10,000 words and 40,000 words.
6) Over 40,000 words.

I mainly write one-shots, so on average, I'd say between 1,000 and 5,000 words.

Between 1,000 words and 5,000 words seems about right for me. *nods*

I got started writing stories under 1k, then I focused on Big Bangs, fests and things, so my stories got longer and more commonly between 10k-30k.

I usually hit 4.

Definitely 3, I don't typically like posting fic if it's under 1000 words, but I rarely get that much above 3k either.

1000 to 5000 by far, on both accounts. Breakdown on silverr / animom is

12 / 4
37 / 4
53 / 21
12 / 6
15 / 6
1 / 1

If it's a oneshot, it's usually in the #3 range, followed by #2. I do have one that's under 500, and a couple that are in the 5-10k range, but most of them are definitely in that 1-5k range.

If it's not a oneshot, it's well above #6. I love reading fics that are stupidly long, and I love writing them too. Now, finishing them, on the other hand...let's just say an attempt is being made. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

+1

Here for stupidly long fics I'll probably still be working on in ten years but hey! Lol

4) Between 5,000 words and 10,000 words. I typically write one-shots (I think have one multi-chapter fic), but they always end up longer than I intend. /facepalm

Long. Lol. 5 or 6.

I really struggle with one shots. I find it much easier to plan out a full length story. I want to be able to write snappy and satisfying ones (2 or 3 I guess?) but I need to improve my short story skills.

I've started a fair few behemoths, but they're all abandoned or on hold until the muse strikes once more. The only things I've finished have been under 1,000.

I cannot finish things even if my life depended on it. I can only write basic scenes or plot out elaborate storylines, but I can never quite get them to work together. So mostly 1-3, like 200-1500 words give or take.

I'm pretty new to fanfic writing (written 6 fics in total so far), but I've found that I've been writing more than the previous fics I had posted up.
The first fic was about 1500 words long and the next two fics would go up by 100-500. Then my last 3 had grown by a 1000-ish per fic; 2500, 5000 and my last fics about 6300 words long.

Essentially, I'm not consistent yet lol.

Usually between 1,000 and 5,000, although I experiment with true drabbles and microfic when the mood strikes.
