I would 100% read that.

Now I want to roast movies with Helen Mirren.

[(Anonymous)]

Helen Mirren and the Queen (RIP) roasting films would have been a good idea. Shame it never came to be!

[sky_queen3]

Sounds like great fun, non shipping RPF should totally be a thing.

*shrug* Different stories work for different people, and that includes style, length, etc.

I'm sure there are people out there who look at your economic fics and think "isn't that a bit sparse, dear?"

[(Anonymous)]

The story takes however long it takes.

[(Anonymous)]

Each to her own as regards wordiness. But that's a wonderfully appropriate picture, secret-maker!

[(Anonymous)]

I mean... I've written stories that are around or under 30k and my longest one is just short of 500k. I didn't set out to write a story of a certain length in either case, I just had a plot in mind and it took however many words it took to tell it.

[(Anonymous)]

Some of my fics are short. Others are long. I don't care about length. Why do you? Sometimes, a bigger story takes longer. I'm revving up to work on a loving rewrite of a game, for example, because the devs were clear they wanted to do more and had to cut corners on both plot, cutscenes, etc because of budget and I want to pay tribute to them for a game that's given me a lot of fun and friends. I know it's going to be long.

[(Anonymous)]

Droll choice of picture, secret-maker.

[(Anonymous)]

The picture you chose for this secret is amazing. I rarely set out to write long fics, but sometimes the story gets away from me and can’t be contained by a shorter word count (case in point, the gift fic I’m currently working on was supposed to be two chapters at most and is now past ten chapters).

[(Anonymous)]

I do sort of think that once you get beyond a certain length, maybe you should think about breaking it up into, like, a series. Where that length lies, well. I did read and enjoy It by Stephen King (1,100 pages, 441,000 words), but something like that is not something I want to commit to reading all that often. I will say that though I love to read, I am a slower reader, so that does factor in for me. I'd have to really want to read something that might take me 60 hours to read.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, 30k feels a bit long to me.

I think First Person Preferers and Third Person Preferers should just team up to fight against Second Person Preferers, because they're obviously the wrongest.

I can see that being a problem. Sure it is a cool premise, and you'd get some great prose with him arising, but after that happens; what does Godzilla do? He outclasses every single dragon in the series, even the smallest versions of Godzilla would tower above the largest dragons.

I find this really bizarre. Not sure why but it just seems silly to me.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Also isn't Rian Johnson squarely Gen X himself.
