yes, exactly - anything longer than a ficlet is hard to do - the longer it gets, the more involved the editing is, and editing is officially no fun. a 15-20 minute podfic takes me 30-50 minutes to record, and up to an hour to edit. a three minute podfic takes five minutes to record, six minutes to edit. i do not want to kill people's joy in the process early just to make a point.

the way we reckon points isn't going to change this time. the people who did a billion short fics are SUPERSTARS. i love that they managed to be so prolific. it's awesome, and i wish they would do even more. we just need to alter the infrastructure a little so that no one feels that there's unfairness, and i need to alter the archive infrastructure a little so that it's friendlier to people searching for stuff by length.

you, ma'am, are a sweetheart. i'm very glad you decided to participate.
