Just a question that popped into my head after looking at the chapter count of one of my own fics. :V

I dunno, but this one has over 900 chapters

[Adult story embed hidden]

It's been dead for about 5 years tho
Can't say for certain it's the longest, but it's damn well the longest I know of lol

I noticed. I was just about to edit my post mentioning that fic.

7510375
Unless something's changed, I believe Fimfiction has a 1000-chapter limit. Two stories at least have reached that limit.

TThe Olden World
Equestrian culture loves cutie marks. Filly Starlight Glimmer hates them and never wants one. So, she leaves Equestria.

TAppledashery
Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.

Oh geez, that's insane

7510381
Oh dang, a thousand's the hard limit? Maybe that's why The Chase hasn't updated.

7510384
Nah, it still has a fair amount to go until it reaches that limit, just looks like the writer had other things in life to deal with instead of continuing to update it.

7510381
Also means that there's under a year's worth of updates left for my what if fic >.>

7510384
Unless something's changed--the only source I can find off the top of my head talking about this is from 2016, so who knows--yeah, Fimfiction takes away the new chapter button if you have 1000.

7510387
I actually just checked, the guy still writes stuff and was last on ten minutes ago, so maybe they just lost interest

Well, you could always do a sequel at that point, I suppose.

Spotted a 314 chapter story, but I guess that's tiny by these standards...

TSAPR
Sunset, Jaune, Pyrrha and Ruby are Team SAPR, and together they fight to defeat the malice of Salem, uncover the truth about Ruby's past and fill the emptiness within their souls.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely doing a What If 2 electric boogaloo when the time comes.

Behold, and despair. Maybe it isn't so bad by chapter count, but wordcount honestly means so much more.

7510394
Tbh, I honestly cannot fathom why somebody would read something so ridiculously long.
I mean I guess I'm just lazy, since I don't tend to go through small books with 350 pages very fast, but still. It'd take me well over a decade probably to finish such a story :rainbowlaugh:

7510409
outside of the stuff i read by request on youtube, I really don't read much anything on fimfic anymore myself :P

7510375
I think it's Diaries at this point. Or at least it's close.

7510409
It's not like they uploaded it last week; the first chapter released eight and a half years ago.

... good lord. I've been reading that story for nearly a decade.

7510410
But you still read my stuff, right? Techie-senpai? :pinkiecrazy:

7510415
i have no idea anymore of what I've read

I read one of your stories once!

...because it was about waffles. :unsuresweetie:

--Sweetie Belle

7510375 With the inclusion of its sequels, my novel has 89 chapters. But seeing the chapter count on the other fics in this thread, mine seems to wane in comparison.

7510417
No excuse but to read them all again then, right? :pinkiehappy:

7510420
Mmmm. Perhaps the secret to getting more readers is through their stomachs?

Wait. Surely SS&E isn’t the same person as Exploding Colon and Just Essay? Right? There’s no fuckin way for any one human to write that prolifically, right?

Right?

7510595
Oh, no, that's definitely not true. You're absolutely right about that.

Just Essay and Imploding Colon, though...

7510613
Giggles nervously.

Are SS&E, Just Essay, and Imploding Colon the same author? (I’m genuinely scared of the answer.)

7510786
SS&E would certainly have you believe so, yes. He's blogged about Colon and Essay's stories a bunch, and has those--and one other, actually--linked to from his user page under an "alts" section.

7510806
Soooo...yes, allegedly?

7510428
Pretty much any work would wane in comparison. Several of those monsters are longer than Dune and I don't just mean the first book.

7510438
Cool... can it do wordcount, too?

Word count is built into the site:

7511197
Interesting - neither of the chapter-maxed ones are in the top ten.

7510381

Whoa, I didn't know there was a limit to the number of chapters a story can have. Note to self: if I try to write a 1m+ word story, don't be cheap with chapters' word counts by packing the story with 1k-2k chapters.

Not that It'll matter since I don't see myself writing a story that comes anywhere close to 1m words.

7510438

Funny to think that despite being the longest on the site, Diaries isn't on that list anywhere. Just goes to show how absurdly monstrous 300 chapters actually is.

7511767

At least you can write multi-chapters; I've yet to get out of one-shots. :raritydespair:
