*sheepish* Given the number of epics I've sicced on you already, I guess it shouldn't be that surprising that another one's sprouted fangs on me, huh?
'22 pages and still going' seems about right for ficlength to me, but then I really really lack shortfic instincts. XD I wish I was better at pulling out snapshots, but it's all 'hey what led to this' and 'ooh I bet it'd spark off this other thing' and er I distinctly remember coming up with a 24-page fic from a challenge that was specifically intended to teach me to write small fics in under comment length. ^^;;;;;;; Good luck wrestling your monster into the corral!
