Literally hilarious to me that as of now The longest fic I have ever posted to AO3 is a wantonly self-indulgent thing for a miniscule fandom that I wrote and edited in three frantic days almost entirely off the cuff and not any of the things i had fucking outlines and spreadsheets for. And that's overall, not just oneshots or just complete stuff. Number one with a bullet.

And, like... maybe one other person will ever read it, lol. Which is not a woe is me thing, I really do think it's pretty funny. But, again, no one can say I'm not committed to doing my own thing.

#is it good?#who knows really #certainly not me #I did unreservedly write it exactly the way I wanted to so like it caters to the tastes of the fanbase (me) very well #also like I know that 25K words is pipsqueak compared to what some people put out. I know. please do not feel obliged to condescend here #because I know #I am not saying it is Objectively Long I am saying it is objectively the longest fic I have published on AO3 #also for most of my life I have barely been able to break 1.5K in the stuff I write so it is a big jump forward *for me*#to consistently punch above that now and to be capable or writing a 25K oneshot with no plot that 'just kept growing lol'#like everyone else always talked about and that seemed mythical to me #because it took me so much effort to write things people would call 'lovely little ficlets' that they'd 'love to see a full fic of one day'
