Hey guys!

Sorry I haven't been very chatty lately, just posting SPN news blurbs as I find them and not really talking about RL things.

I always get like this when I start writing a new story. I get really far inside my head, really focused on my writing and I tend to ignore LJ and my emails, etc. Oh! But before I forget, many thanks to deanvica23 for the belated birthday gifts. I love the magazine and the drawing, sweetie!

Speaking of my new Jensen/Jared story, I've now written my longest story EVER in the 15+ years I've been writing fanfic. And I'm not even done yet!

I just passed the 34,000 word mark, my previous best being just over 30,000 for my second J2 fireman story, Playing with Fire. I still can't believe I've written this much! And I've still got two and a half pages left to my outline!

I've really worked hard on this, and if it completely bombs and no one likes it I'm pretty sure I'll be totally devastated. [sigh]

I hope I can get it finished in about a week, then off to beta and then I need to finish the artwork for the banner. Let me tell you, Jared looks smokin' hot in an L.A.P.D. uniform. ;-)

Speaking of long stories, I'm curious about something, about how all of you like to read them.

Do you think 40,000 words is too much to post in one day and would prefer one part a day gets posted, or are you the impatient kind and would rather have the whole story posted at once?

Funny you should ask lol. I've also got a new story, 45,000+ words that I haven't quite finished yet and I was wondering how to post when it gets to that point. Personally? I'd prefer to have the whole story at once so I could read as little or as much as time allows at any given time. But I'll be interested in what your poll shows. :)

What?? You've got a huge story coming up, too?? Sweet!!

So far the "all at once" option is winning. :-)
