Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
The beast finally came in at 28 pages. It's not fan fic. It's a bloody novella.
Notwithstanding the fact that people write fan stories that weigh in at hundreds of thousands of words, as other people said-- victor, my own understanding of a novella (and that of the writer's dictionary at my side) says something more like 60 - 100 pages (if we say 500 words is a page). I mean, I've written (and aborted) fic that was 28 pages-- short story, absolutely.
... of course, I could be getting you wrong in terms of words/page.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Y'all are so literal. Hyperbole, people!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
And Plei knoweth whereof she speaks, you dambetcha.

I'm considering adding story length to my random dream archive software I want to write.
For sorting, you see.
