Jax: "Uh, 'kay, so I saw all this going on in Writer's Lounge, and is anyone else getting annoyed?"
liveitout: "I think idea threads are just there because people don't actually want to write.
Jax: "...Are you ****ing serious?"
Remus Lupin: "Yes. That too."
Harry Potter: "What?"
Remus Lupin: "Oops. Too much information."
The rest of the FFL: "We can't stop these people from posting threads, but it's totally a problem. Seriously."
Jax: "You know what? How about I just work on a plot bunny thread?"
Bay: "Oh, by the way, Serebii covers all kinds of topics in their WL, whereas we try to dump all these topics into the FFL. That might be the problem."
The rest of the FFL: "lulz, Serebii."

Everyone: *intake of breath*
Someone: *says something particularly uninteresting or somewhat ontopic*
Starfox: "I can't let you do that."
Citrinin: "O BEE-TEE-DUBS, Sparkling Dragon, I notice LEGENDARIES."
Sparkling Dragon: "YOU NOTICE NOTHING."
Citrinin: "Oops. Misinterpretation, yes?"
Sparkling Dragon: "YOU NOTICE NOTHING. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN."
Mika: "'Sup, guys?"

Feign: "Damn you Freud and your cigars!"
Sparkling Dragon: *slaps* "Keep your hands to yourself!"
And if you insist on being rude, at least get my name right. Calling me Sparkling makes me feel like a bottle of bubbles!
How about that not-so-kid-friendly one where the guy gets in an accident, goes to the doctor, smokes on the way there to calm his nerves, and ends up handing the doctor a cigar?
lol. Interesting.
Yanno, this is getting less and less FFL-ish, and way more DCC. XD;
'Yanno'? o_O
I shall therefore justify this place's existence with a fanfiction question. I was talking briefly about chapter length with SD earlier, and I was wondering, how long do you guys like to make your chapters? And do you conciously try to keep it within some limits?
I already answered this (duh) but I go for about 3000 words, these days, although I have been known to go shorter for impact. And Citrinin, no justification is needed. This place does not exist. *wiggles fingers* This
isn't the FFL you're looking for.
And Shrike, 14-20?!?! That's about 3 or 4 times the size of my chapters! How do you fit all that in one post?
Torn was 19 pages, and it was well over the limit.
