I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh heck! If you need a second GO beta, I'd be happy to!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Since we're talking GO, does everyone know borealowl's Four Cups of Wine series? The last story is a WIP, but there's quite enough material to be getting on with.

What is even happening?
Not fic, but fic- adjacent:
"Son, Your Mother and I Are Worried About the Quality of Your Supernatural Slash Fiction," by Nathan Kamal: [link]
Son, I want you to know that this isn’t a criticism. Your mother and I are happy that you’re getting your ideas for the sexual tension between the troubled angel Castiel and that wisecracking scamp Dean Winchester down on paper. That scene when they end up having to sleep skin to skin in Hell because Lucifer has extinguished its fires and they lost their clothes and they need to stay warm? That could have been straight out of the show.
Except for the penetration, of course.

Hah that’s hilarious, especially given that the folk here have had babies who are all grown up now, since we met (!!!?!!!)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Is there a prescribed length for something that's essentially a character study? Should I be concerned that I'm 4300 words in? I feel like I should be concerned.

Nope! Welcome to a common fanfic experience, aka "Wait, this thing is taking on a life of its own..."

Okay, no, to be more specific, is there an advisory length for what's essentially a character study and backstory-filling-in without a whole lot of what you'd normally call plot, and is definitely not a kissing story? At what point is it just self-indulgence?
