Re: Fic lengths

[(Anonymous)]

I have a feeling mine's going to be in the 6k-8k range, but my assignments always end up getting a little out of hand so I'm fully prepared for that to be longer.

I'll put my bet for the longest fic on a solid, like. 50k work.

Seems like there's a 50k work most years, so that should be a safe bet.

i don't know how people do that but good for them

Having done it, I do know. You start as early as possible and write every day for eternity.

The writing period has heavy overlap with NaNoWriMo, so I'd imagine the people who pound out a longfic for Yuletide are at least doing something NaNo-adjacent.

+ 1

Or its a drawerfic that fit a request.

Or they started writing it last Yuletide/had been working on it for another exchange and can finally finish and post it.

Re: Fic lengths

Yeah, NaYuleWriMo definitely helped.

When a 30000 word yuletide happened to me, it was "oh this is a great idea it'll probably be about 8-9000 words I should start early" and then both estimated length and franticness of writing schedule went up asymptotically as I wrote and wrote and somehow got no closer to the end.
