What have I done? · 3:40am Dec 2nd, 2015
I started writing a new chapter for cost, and the next thing I know, it's a fricken' monstrosity of a chapter, possibly, no, not possibly, I'm certain it's the largest single chapter I've ever written. And. It's. Not. Done.
How I feel when I stare at the words I've put down?
Seriously, they keep pouring out, like some obscene grammatical wound.
I can relate to that. The last draft of my next chapter came out to more than twice the length of the longest of my other chapters.
And how many words do you consider a monstrosity? I've seen chapters exceeding 70K+ words.
Thank you for posting this. I really needed something like this to help me recover from a rape fic that someone tried to pass off as a romance fic of my forth favorite ship (Vinyl & Octavia). This has truly both saved and made my day. Thanks and hang in there, I'm pulling for you.
3586070 Some people have an odd idea of romance
3586060 My average chapter is about 4-6k, and the last few I've posted for substitute were about 5 each. The other chapters of cost were 7, 7, and 4. It's at 11 right now, and I still haven't finished this scene, or the closing scene. I've also decided to add a quick little thing to the start, so that's going to be at least another hundred there. It's looking like it may even hit 13-14 It's already the longest thing I've written to date, and its not done!
3586043 It started as a quick thing, and it just kept growing!
3586289 no kidding also I know what you mean. I've played a RTS game where I have a unit attack somethings that wanted my base location to be their new home. Should have been a cake walk with how weak my invaders were. BUT as I soon discovered, the chain reaction effect of its weapon didn't discriminate between friend and foe. my base , that I spent 30min building and fortifying, was wiped out in the space of 15sec I was so overwhelmed I cried "I hate my life"
Aww yiss beefy chapters are the best
Oh, and I went and linked Substitute to its smut chapter. I didn't think about it, but I had the first experience for Din and Cimmy in a fic, but didn't attach it to the chapter. Fixed that.
Doesn't matter how long it is, I'll still read it lol. Really enjoy your work bro, keep it up.
Lol, it can happen especially with the draft!!!
But that GTA 5...is a mod?
Haha, 1:08 or so. "Would you open your fuckin' eyes?"
