I am deep into the revisions of my
gabriel_bigbang story, which is going to be posted on the 23rd.
It has gone from a draft that was almost exactly 40,000 words, to a revision that is definitely going to top out at *over* 50,000 words. So far, only one story that long has been posted, so I have no idea whether people will even be interesting in reading it.
Fortunately, my alpha readers have been great, a friend has offered to do a line proofread, and I don't think I'm screwing *too* much with the Jericho characters -- beside squishing a religious horror universe into their nice hard SF post-nuclear cosy catastrophe world, I mean...
Right now, I have to beat off idea for sequels, for other fics, and better titles and just keep chugging through the revision and expansion.
ETA: Broke 50,000 words tonight. Hopefully won't get up to 60,000 before this is finished enough to post... but I still have to revise most of the climax, and maybe flesh out a sex scene.

And yes, it's the Jericho/SPN xover. It's kind of insane. You liked Jericho, so hopefully you'll get a kick out of it when I post.

I should probably rewatch Jericho too, it's been a couple years. And since I'm 13th out of 14 holds for Supernatural season 4....
