I'm thinking about participating in sgabigbang, but man ... 40,000 words is a LOT. I mean ... a lot a lot. I've been in fandom for a really long time and the longest completed work I have is my eXistenZ story which clocks in at just over 17,000.

Still, it seems like fun, and I like the idea of having someone do fanart for something I write :>

I know! It's like NaNo! But with bigbang you get more time, so that's something x_x Still, I don't think I could do it - I'm just not that profilic a writer. At least, not if I have to 'force' it, if I write something and it just happens to turn out that long, that's fine. But I know I couldn't sit down and go "i am not going to write a 40K story". Eepz.

Still...40k. Eek. That's so many words. That have to make sense. That's in a class all its own. I can't understand people that can world build, or expand on, that much. I have a couple on my flist, and it just shocks me to see that. I don't know how anyone can say "Okay, so 40k words will be easy enough." I just. No. No, no. I think it's pulling teeth to hit 3k.
