Firefly comment fic

[lunabee34]

executrix and I are awesome. As if you needed reminding. LOL

Anyway, here's a little comment thing that is shorter than a drabble, yet not long enough to be titled a ficlet, and therefore has no designation thingie we just did. Anybody else wanna play?


executrix:
Regan turned the CaptureCard face-up and triggered it. A young man with dark hair and blue eyes smiled up out of it.
"He's very pretty," Anya said. "Is he a chorus boy?"
"He's a surgeon," Regan said coldly.

"Now this face I recognize," Anya said, running her fingers lightly over a framed pen and ink drawing of River. "Your lovely daughter." She turned her attention back towards Regan. "She will absolutely love the Academy. I'll oversee her education personally."

Simply using the wordcount is probably the easiest way to resolve the issue.

I don't know why, but I hardly ever check to see how long something I've written is in terms of words. But that's easily done.

Once I started wanting a wordcount on fic I went back and plugged all my fics into a wordcounter and added that info to a header. (My detail-oriented and citation-happy nature shows up like whoa in my fic headers.) I've also come to really enjoy being able to see at a glance how various fics compare to each other lengthwise and get a feel for how long the stuff I write is.
