Yeah, I think one of the most depressing things has been watching "Big Bang" min lengths go down from 50k to 20k... 15k... 10k... 5k... even 1k... Like, oof, that's not a big bang anymore! How did fandoms ever support 50k+-word bangs??! It must have been a very different time.

Also, I'm going to be wanky and put some of the blame on this change on the proliferation of -tober-style fic challenges based on Inktober -- Kinktober, Whumptober, Flufftober, etc. It's like every fandom and every genre needs to have a ~30 day challenge with prompts for each day at least once a year. I wish there was anywhere near that amount of effort/events dedicated to people finishing their big multichap WIPs, or rewarding people for putting out a new chapter for the same, longer story every week for three months straight or things like that.
