Word count: excellent. I was just trying to figure out if I was looking at 300K+ or somewhere in the vicinity of 100K. I don't know how much you know about publishing; it wasn't something I really looked at until I decided to make the leap away from fic and finally start my own book, so I don't expect it to be something you're up to date on. The average novel is going to cap out around 100K. (I say this knowing you and I both have the 300K+ fic out there. Heh.) So if that was going to be a thing, I wanted to be able to warn you now.
Hey, I think being a rebel works however you want it to. You have to write what you want, but if having that benchmark and/or pressure of a deadline to work with helps you, I'm all for it. Rebel on, baby!
All righty then. The writer commentary it is. Because there are things that, in a fic-only kind of light, work, but if you're looking at them from a writerly perspective, they are something I would immediately cut for pacing. No worries; I'll get back to them here shortly. I should be able to do the next chapter tonight.
Until then, have a simply fantastic rest of the afternoon. Happy shlepping of the brood!
