Two milestones · 12:02am Sep 30th, 2014
First: A Kingdom Divided reached 100k words. Quite good for a fic which, basing on my average chapter length at the time I started to write it, I expected to be 60-80k words long. Also, after the newest chapter, its word count finally doesn't trigger my OCD (it's exactly 107,900 words).
Also, the total amount of horse words I published reached 400k. That's still less than Fallout: Equestria, but I don't give up. Some additonal stats:
- AKD is over a quarter of total words I published (exactly 26.89% of them is that one story)
- Other large part of my word count is Sleepless. While the core story isn't long (it's actually shorter than Way To Go, Minuette, Way To Go!, a story that, as you can guess from "frequent" updates, I treat as a side project), all its sequels are currently exactly 107,100 words long. That kinda shows how my writing speed changed: AKD was published 310 days ago, on 23rd November 2013, which means the average publication speed is 348.06 words a day. Sleepless debuted on 25th June 2014, only 96 days ago, which means that on average I publish 1115.625 words a day.
- The longest single chapter I ever wrote was chapter 13 of AKD - 10,631 words. The shortest is the alternative ending to The Sharpest Tool - 213 words. The record, however, would be beaten by Zombons, if I released it as a one-shot, like I initially planned.
Btw, today I wrote an Equestria Girls fanfic. It's rather silly.
Damn, you've got me beat in every one of those categories. Nice.

Well, I have less stories and less views...
Btw, I don't remember exactly the swearing stats I made for Minuette and Sleepless. If I recall correctly, there was a curse every 275 words in Minuette and every 1900 words or so in Sleepless...

Your stories are also generally longer than mine, though. I've mostly made a bunch of shorts, each of which accumulate views separately (aside from the anthologies, which get very few views).
I think those sound about right, yeah.
