And that kind of explains how you wrote Captive so dang fast. [/quote]
I dunno, but something that makes me different to some of our resident writers here at MLK is that my endurance writing is very bad. For instance, I remember when the discussions as to how to change the max/min word count were going on and somebody said something like "some of us here can easily slam out 10,000 words per chapter and more". I read that and was just like "dayum"

You know, I remember that poll... and I honestly think that might have been me. XD Some of my one-shots breach the 10,000 word mark and even the others I challenged myself to write by doing in one sitting scrape over 5,000 words. However, I believe it's worth noting that, at least at this point, I don't make 10,000 word chapters... the one-shots were just longer because they were meant to fit in a whole story.
2,000 is a good starting point - my first fic's chapters were around that long, and yours will probably get longer with time.
I believe my longest chapter in Trampled was around 5,000 or maybe even 6,000 words. The first chapter, in comparison, is only about 2,500 or so.
More on-topic with this whole thread: I have yet to vote. xD
