pros of long fics: well thought out, character development, builds relationships
cons of long fics: impending sense that something is going to go wrong at any moment
They’re together and happy, but there’s still ten chapters left.
what goes wrong that needs 10 whole chapters to resolve
ok they werent really ‘together and happy’ in the beginning (quite the contrary actually) but i remember having this thought very explicitly the first time i read @deadcatwithaflamethrower’s ‘in a lonely place’
/gets to the big fight/ okay the good guys are gonna win and those who have been away can finally come home — wait WHY AM I ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH THE FIC
And the tags because they were awesome: #fandom #fanfic #look youll pry longfic from my cold dead claws #also yall should read flamethrowers fics #i promise that things do in fact get better in the end #(at least in this fic)
#midtalks #midrecI don’t believe in unhappy endings. Sooo yeah it’s safe to read my fics knowing that there will be a happy ending…eventually. *G*
