Re: For the people writing multiple treats

Varies a lot depending on the prompt. Longest treat I've written was 20k, but that was in a year when I didn't actually sign up so I had no other main assignment. More typically my exchange fics seem to cluster around 2.5-3.5k for a shorter idea or 7-8k for a more plotty one, and I'll write 3-5 fics total, assignment included. (The most I've ever managed in a single Yuletide was seven fics, and skimming back over the works I posted that year, five of them fell in the 1-2k range which is shorter than I usually manage to keep things.)
