S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yes, but generally not completed fic of that length. It's not a posting area, like a mailing list or an archive. It's a workshop thread, where you ask for beta or opinions on an idea or help working through a particular point in the story.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Or, show off what you did.

But, yeah, short stuff.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Well, hell, because I went to Bitchy Fic and Steph to post it in segments and I did. been getting all sorts of conflicting advice. Sorry if the longness was a problem in Bitchy fic - I was just following a suggestion, truly.

And I mean 70K as in kilobytes. I don't do epic novels (mine are definitely on the short side in the modern age) but I don't write quickie short fic either....

(edit: Dude, 70K words? That would be an average novel for me. I've just realised.

Aha! Rebecca's going to post it somewhere for me in its entirety. Blessed be, and definitely cookies as thanks.

Umm. Yes we do.

The first 40 or so posts in Bitchy Fic are fic of that length.

Just sayin'.

I meant it. Because, like Plei said, fic of that length gets posted in Bitchy Fic all the time.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Hell no. I've posted longer pieces than that, and so has Connie. And Herself. And, I think, Ple? It was long, but not a problem. And lovely!

Thankee. Just as long as I haven't broken any unwritten rules, or inconvenienced anyone, or pissed anyone off. I honestly wasn't trying to do that.

Not one bit, Deb.
