You have no idea...

Really. You don't know.

Precisely how pedantic I can be.

See that fic just there? Ianto's Sacrifice? See how it's 1895 words long?

Well, I've written 12 fics for my fanfic100 claim so far, and I decided to get the word count sorted.

So the total at the moment stands at 33 thousand words.

Precisely.

Not a word more, not a word less.

Which divides neatly by 12, to give an average of 2750 words per fic (although that is of course nonsense, since they range from 555 to 7600 words).

*purrs*

Round numbers. Lovely.

So don't be surprised if the next one is 2750 words long, hmm? ;) Gotta keep that average a nice whole number.

(And yes, I am procrastinating again. How nice of you to ask. Please excuse me while I go shoot my conscience and write more fic.)

Hee. :D See, I like drabbles. It's fairly easy for me to get them to 100 words precisely, 'cause I keep practicing on all the longer fics. (The majority of things I write end up rounded to the nearest thousand. Or hundred. Or ten. Or five, or whatever's necessary to make everything go shiny again. :D)

I'm glad you like. I have every intention of making the fanfic100 claim go to the nearest hundred-thousand words so it averages very nicely indeed...

LMAO. I love it! *giggle*

*hands on hips* T'ain't funny!

Well alright, maybe. :P But I can take it painfully seriously sometimes... *wince*
