Long Story Poll (Votes appreciated!)

If your creative story-writing process is anything like mine, you would be better off posting the whole story when it's done. I tend to go back and forth between chapters and that includes making changes to what I might have previously considered "finished".

It's hard to say, but I'm guessing the finished result will be anywhere from 30,000-40,000 words.

And I thought my stories were long lol. That will certainly be interesting to read. I too am presently editing a story that's currently at 9,444 words, and (what little) experience tells me it'll grow longer before I'm finished. It'll be my longest since "A Backyard Experiment" and that one swelled from about 9,700 words to 11,800 during the editing process.

100% agree with Aiko. If only from the creative stand point, I too often find myself going back to modify, add, or remove things that I've changed later in the story. I also often forget to add certain details or think of new details to add as I go, which is why I generally sit on a finished story for a few weeks before posting.

Yeah, it's a project and a half I'm sure most people wouldn't bother to read something that long, but it's been fun enough to write that I'm doing it anyway.

I'll read it for sure, might take a few days though It took me two days to read "The Silty Secrets of Rebecca Lorengale" but I got interrupted halfway through. Couldn't wait to finish it the next day
