I like planning too, if it's for a trip of some of that sort. But as for stories, I want to leave enough room, 'cause I know that with me, the story will eventually get a life of its own anyway and get out of hand. xD

The block I've been having was so awful though. Several times I just sat there, staring at my word processor, knowing what kind of a scene I wanted to do next, yet getting nothing actually written down. Luckily though it seems to have got a bit better now. <3

Yeah, when I go off to college I'm sure I'll have bigger things to worry about than chapter updates lol. But I am a meticulous planner, it's should be a syndrome it's so bad lol.

I can write a lot when I get in the mood, I've only been working on the Of Gods and Demons story for about a month and my original story took about 5 months to fully complete (with editing and rewriting) but sometimes you just hit a slump and 500 words takes hours to write. I hate that lol.

You haven't yet seen a true slump. >_> I got the block pestering me so bad that I didn't update even once for the whole 2008. >___> I used to be quite productive, updating every few weeks. But for a few years it's been more difficult, and it takes months for me to complete a chapter. Though, then there can be spurts too when in one day I get third the chapter done.

Lol, mostly it's just me being lazy. I pretty much know what is going to happen and when it's going to happen, but then I'm always like, "Hmmmm, eat cheetos and watch Law and Order, or write my story....eat cheetos and watch Law and Order".

I swear to god, if Law and Order is on, I have to watch it. I don't even particularly like Law and Order! It's just like..hypnotizing; I can't look away!

Hehe, I see. Yeah, distraction and laziness too are what slow down the writing process.

For me I think it was life that happened. First Upper Secondary school graduation exams, then university entrance exams, a summer job, moving to a different town altogether to live on my own, getting used to university, getting a boyfriend...

I blame university partly. When having to write 10 page essays you don't feel like writing ANYTHING for awhile. xD

But I suppose the problem is also in my own writing, I'm impulsive and I don't like to plan too much in advance. ^^;

TSNNAM is the longest and is still missing its final chapter . Last time I checked it is well over 200,000 words.

The "It" took over. I just obey the command and continue to enjoy the ride:lol:.

Longest story for me was my first S/K fic called Magnolia Dreams I don't know the word count but it was like 47 chapters and still incomplete, but I deleted the story because I didn't like it anymore and it was driving me crazy. So at the moment I think my current longest story is Used:ATR.

Yes! I would wake up in the middle of the night and this little voice would say, "But it would make sense if..." and I'd be like "Why can't you leave me alone! I already said 'The End!'"

Atonement at 91,000 words. I don't really like writing long stories, but when I got to what was supposed to be the end, I couldn't stop. And then I tried to end it again, and still couldn't quit.

Don't ya just HATE when a story does that to you?! LOL!

For right now my story Whispers from the Past beats Playing With Fire. It is currently at 13,323 words but it'll be my newest and probably longest story.

My longest story is not even a fanfic. It is my book, that will be coming out later this year. It is 346,687 words. It took forever!

My longest fanfic is The Miko and the Taiyoukai, and is 79,751 unfinished.

Kryptonite at 166,008 words. That was well over a couple hundred pages. Though Supreme Conquest will assuredly go over that. It's already at 145,315 words long.

My longest story is my first stroy Faded Memories with 26 chapters, 109 414 words, but it will be beaten at some point by my currently on going Tables Turned which is at present 99,859 words long, plus the slightly over 6000 words that I've so far managed to write for the next chapter to come the number of which will be 13. :3

My longest to date is My Only at 116,088 words and roughly 200-something pages.

Most of my stories have been pretty short. Remnants of the Spider is my longest one as far as words and chapters. I am working on chapter 29 right now, and it is currenly 119,633 words long.

I anticipate at least another 15 chapters or so. Possibly more.

Just a random question that suddenly popped into my head. The longest story I've ever written was clearly a Mary-Sue Pirates of the Caribbean story that was more than 87 pages long and it was still in the process of being finished but sadly I threw the notebook I wrote it in away (because I didn't want people to read it because it was so.........retarded xDD)

What is the longest story ya'll have written?- it can either be finished or not lol
