Hey, at least I get to double post.

And that kind of explains how you wrote Captive so dang fast.

Yeah, but Captive had freakishly short chapters. Most of them barely scraped 1000 words some not even that much.

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"

2000 words is my absolute minimum now, but usually I can get closer to 3000.

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

I just voted. xD I can honestly say that choosing my two favorite stories was harder than usual because there were several good ones (1, 2, 4, and 7 were my favorites).

My entry has a vote now, happy with that XD I honestly didn't think it would get a single vote.
Oh yeah that reminds me, we're still allowed to post these up as individual threads after the voting has ended, right?

[censored], I thought the poll ended TONIGHT at midnight. I have been busy with school/work and I had to go to a Baptism yesterday. If I had voted, it would have gone to #5 and #1.
