Extra line breaks had gotten lost, so no scene separators, thus 109k wall of text. Know I’d occasionally get one determined reader here or there, but yeah, intimidating. Even FF.net gave the hint, because they updated their word counter to max each chapter’s word count out at 65k (ie, they’d simply not count anything more to story’s total). Thus, my first action when I started the current rewrite was to simply break those chapters in two (ie parts A & B), though I’ve now totally yanked them until I get the revision bit done (due to confusion with how their alert notifications worked) – maybe this decade?
