      I have just completed an Xfic, and would like to post it to get some feedback. The story is in 9 parts, with some parts up to 2000 words. Is 2000 words acceptible for a posting length, or should I break the longer parts into smaller lengths for posting?
  2. (uncountable, fandom slang) Such fan fiction collectively.

      I'd have to reccommend Paige Caldwell's "Comfortably Numb". It has 3 parts right now. It is a stark, daring look at a scenario that can quite possibly happen with Mulder and Scully... and it is something I have not read before in Xfic.
