I’ve read/ am reading fic that are upwards to 150,000 - 200,000. You’re telling me that authors that write for fun are writing a full-length book for the fun of it? They have earned my respect 10 fold.
A friendly reminder.
Lord of the Rings was written as one book, not three. It’s real length is 455,125, enormous for a novel. It was split into three books because the whole thing was too expensive to print at once. Tolkien would probably not have finished it if he hadn’t been writing it as a serial story for his son.
