As a direct result of OCD, boredom, a sudden bout of masochism, and the desire to make an bum out of myself, I read this fanfic.

You might think “Oh, it’s a fanfic. Of course it’s long, those ****ers never stop writing.”, but you would be dangerously underestimating how long this thing actually is. King Krimson bemoaned how “My Immortal” never ****ing ends, but the 44 published chapters of that weigh in at only 124,772B. ( http://myimmortalrehost.webs.com/index.htm )

Putting things in perspective, “War and Peace” weighs in at 3,285,165B. ( http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/2600 )

That makes “War and Peace” 26.33 times longer than “My Immortal”. While I’ll concede that the ****ty writing of “My Immortal” makes it seem like it never ends, it’s actually pretty damn short.

I mean, if you use the standard metric of a page of text being 2KB, then “My Immortal” is only about 61 pages long while War and Peace is 1,605 pages long.

“Sailor Moon V * Dark Adventures”, however, is 9,347,688B ( http://www.sailormoonv.net/da.htm ). That makes it 2.85 times longer than “War and Peace”, and 74.92 times longer than “My Immortal”, and works out to being 4,565 pages long. The fact that it’s still being written just means that even if you finish what’s there, you’re still not done.

Amazingly it’s also one of the best-written fanfics I’ve ever seen, so I didn’t get the suffering I had come to expect from a Sailor Moon fanfic. That just depresses me.

So, does anybody else wish to say what personal mountains/mountains of **** they climbed just because it’s there?
