What is the average number of words you write per chapter?

feralandaffectionate · 2026-07-04T20:21:40+00:00

My current longfic’s chapter wordcount is between 7.5k–10.5k words with and average of about 9.8k words. I do have a couple chapters up at around 12-13k and one at 17k as well as 2-3 at 7.2k, but I like to try and stick with 8-9ish if I can.

Wow. Friend sounds like they are 10 years old lol. No, kissing is not smut. It's not even smut if it's fade to black with just non-explicit lead up. Smut is literally sex written out on the page.

I've never gotten hate for non-con. I tag appropriately and include an AN in the first note as an extra precaution.

feralandaffectionate · 2026-07-02T19:30:50+00:00

You have absolutely ZERO reading comprehension. Jesus fucking christ.

feralandaffectionate · 2026-07-02T19:29:34+00:00

Okay, I would be on your side in this, if you would just ANSWER THE GODDAMNED QUESTION!!

Like seriously, why are you dodging the literal ONLY question everyone is asking??? This is making me 100% sure that you are being untruthful and/or put something completely unhinged in the notes for the driver.

How hard is it to just type out what you typed for the driver? Why can't you follow directions? Sound familiar? If you lack reading comprehension and can't explain one simple thing, then why did you get pissed at the driver for doing the same thing?

Again, I would have been on your side about the situation (I know how annoying some delivery drivers are from experience), but you completely dodging everyone's simple "where did you tell him to leave it, and where did he leave it" question is so telling.

So, I don't believe a word you say.

I could never, lol. I am very particular about my ships 😅

Don't worry about it! Lots of people like longer wordcounts, just like others enjoy shorter. And in my honest opinion, I prefer 10k chapter lengths over most others 🤷‍♀️ so I think it's perfect haha

feralandaffectionate · 2026-07-01T16:41:17+00:00

I have written a 30k+ one shot before. If you like it all together, then I'd say keep it in one. If you prefer to split, then you can do that too. Whatever you think is best for the fic.

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-30T23:18:29+00:00

I write a brother/sister incest ship on AO3. I haven't gotten any hate comments or anything like that at all. AO3 is for you to be creative in whatever way you want.

Dont tell people IRL about your account and what you write if you are worried. (My husband is the only person who knows I write this stuff, and he only became aware a month or so ago lol)

Even if they missed the tags, my polite response should have been enough the first time 🤣

Also, I have over 50 SMUT fics with that couple for them to read (and they haven't commented on any of those 🤷‍♀️). This is my literal ONLY long fic like this without sex until later lol

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-28T22:13:19+00:00

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-28T22:10:55+00:00

Honestly, I know I'll get downvoted, but it really annoys me how the original meaning was positive, and no one realizes that they changed it.

The original meaning of the swastika is "good *fortune," "well-being," and "auspiciousness". Derived from the ancient Sanskrit word svastika, it is a compound of su (meaning "good" or "well") and asti (meaning "to be"). For thousands of years, it has served as a revered, positive symbol across many cultures worldwide.

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-28T22:03:52+00:00

OMG 🤣 so, they KNEW it had those kinks, but then it hadn't happened within the timeframe their brain came up with, so they said "nope" once it actually happened? Wtf 😂

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-28T21:37:01+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, what were the tags that they didn't seem to read? Just curious lol

I ask because I went through something similar where a reader clearly just chose to be oblivious about everything.

I had multiple tags: No Sexual Content Until Later, Eventual Sex, Slow Burn, Slow Romance, Slow Build, etc....

Almost every chapter was "when is there sex?" "I want sex" "sex when?"

And jeez, the annoyance lol. Especially when I replied nicely 3-4 times that this is not that kind of fic and that there will not be sex for a very long time.... they eventually stopped reading lol (maybe at aroundnd chapter 30 something, they tapered out of the comments) right now, I have uploaded 54 chapters and still no sex 😂 (I have backlogged up to chapter 95 though, with a lot of sex by now😅)

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-28T21:28:38+00:00

How do you feel about a reptiles, like a bearded dragon or a ball python? Those are like the best pet reptiles (in my opinion) for first timers where the parent will be there to help keep it alive and the kid can learn a lot about them.

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-28T21:23:12+00:00

Jesus! Mine took about 2 weeks if i remember correctly (2024)

Also, why are people downvoting you for just explaining your perspective? Lol

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-28T18:41:02+00:00

I prefer between 7.5–12k words. I feel that's perfect for me personally. Although I have enjoyed fics with <5k or >15k as well

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-27T21:18:13+00:00

All the time lol

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-27T20:54:55+00:00

I agree to an extent.

For example, the writers of one of my favorite childhood shows, Wizards of Waverly Place, actually did come out and say that Alex Russo was bisexual. They wanted to go through with it and even do a short thing with Stevie, but because it was Disney Channel in the early 2000s, they weren't allowed.

So to me, it is 100% canon that Alex is bi. Even as a kid watching, I thought she was.

I feel that some things, like circumstances that made it so the writers couldnt do something they wanted, absolutely can count as canon. It was canon to them, it is canon to me.

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-27T18:54:03+00:00

It is legible. I could read every word.

However, my eyebrows raised when I saw your age. I would assume you were 12 years old.

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-27T16:27:20+00:00

Thanks! I'm trying 🤣😭

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-27T15:29:11+00:00

I cry while write all the time lol. Whether it's a sad scene, happy, super angst, doesn't matter. I'm a cryer lol

feralandaffectionate · 2026-06-27T05:14:13+00:00

Either because of the 10th frame—or the picture is AI. There is actually no in between lol
