I have no *facepalm* icon, so Jane will have to do.

So, um, is 1,450 words too long for one segment of a 5 things fic? >_< 4 pages in Word. Huh.

Brevity is not my friend.

Also, this fic? Is SO not one of the ones I should be working on. Really. I have two ficathon fics, a rabid bunny of plot and THIS is what starts writing itself?

Well. Fine, then.

ETA: All right, MSN messenger, why will you not sign me in? Look, AIM works. Look, MSN Explorer works. Let me on! Seriously.

1450 words is plenty small enough for a fic post. :-)

I have a cowriter who seems to think sometimes that if it is under 10 k it's not big enough.

Heh, it's down to 1400 now, but it's one of five segments and the others are likely to be roughly 500 words each. So the part of me that likes things symmetrical is twitching. ;) (Of course, *this* segment was supposed to be between 500-1000 words, too.)

I have to laugh because... yeah. I'm not usually quite that bad, but I have long-standing issues with brevity. ;) My editing usually involves cutting things rather than adding.

Ah well!
