Everybody should get library cards even if you're not gonna use them because it makes the numbers look better and makes the government fund them more.

went on AO3 to see what the longest fic in the LOTR tag was. Tolkien's original trilogy has a word count of 550,147. there is a fic in the LOTR tag that has a 6.6 MILLION word count and it is STILL BEING UPDATED

Alright, valid question sent to me: how do I get my novel critiqued?

3. Develop a network of writers for mutual critique. Online groups exist for this purpose.
