You mean, it's taken a year for the whole thing to be posted?
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

If I only had a brain...
Are there (decent) authors out there who've posted a novel-length fic over the space of more than a year?
Yeah. Carrie, "Take Your Time", took two years, as I recall.

Yes. This describes a fic-in-progress. I've been working on it when I can, which isn't often, I'm afraid.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Feldman's writing a Farscape/Changing Rooms crossover. I cannot wait.
!!!!!!!
Huh.

That'll be interesting. I wonder whose rooms will get redone, and by whom. Or, will certain decorators, carpenters, etc. find themselves far, far from home?

Um. That would be me. If a story-series counts. "Life During Wartime" totals over 500K by now, I think, and started in fall of 1999. Marasmus & I posted a 250K chunk this week, and there are three more stories in the works.
Although the feedback's been thin enough I wonder if anyone is going to be around to read the finale. t shrugs

I'm not sure how long Career Change has taken. It's going to go into next year, I know.
edit: If it even counts. I see it as one over-arcing story with episodes

Apparently I'm the first person to notice this?
The Guardian has an article on HP fic today. Also references Buffy, Xena, & Trekfic, and provides the mandatory link to FF.net.
Wonder if the writer of the article knew about the plagiarism issue that's tarnished the writer they chose to focus on... probably not. ::shrugs::

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Okay, that article sucks. "Scottie"? "Dr. Spock"?
