Um, thanks but no thanks, I'll just stay here in the midlands where it doesn't snow as much, lol!
Somehow the more I edit my fics the longer they get as I notice bits that need to be fleshed out, and sections that aren't very clear and might confuse readers, and places where there could be a bit more dialogue... The only times they get shorter is if I have to hit a particular word count and I've gone over with the first draft.

If you're with fic_rush and have just shown up, look for most recent hourly post.
