Admin Mawile: (*゚ー゚)ゞSo, in a more coherent explanation of what I posted earlier but deleted, the Sub Au fic is an absolute monstrosity. 

I ran the calculations. If I do a route for every boy, at 10 chapters per route and a minimum of 5,000 words per chapter, this mess is going to be 600,000 words. At the very least. For comparison, every fic I have on Ao3 at the moment adds up to under a third of that. That’s between 6-12 average sized novels worth of content. 

And, if I write at my usual pace of 2000 words a day, every day with no breaks, and only working on this fic, it’ll take me 300 days to finish. Again, that’s a minimum estimate. 

Point is, this isn’t a fanfic anymore, this is a job. I’ll be spending days and weeks and more of my time writing this, and that’s if I don’t work on anything else. I want to do it. I really do. It will be massively fun to write, and I love making nice things for ya’ll, but I think I might have to charge something for this one, if only because of the sheer amount of time and effort it will take. 

I don’t know what I’m going to do yet, but expect something once I figure it out. I want to keep posting and making the fic accessible to anyone, and I’m definitely open to suggestions on what I should do. 

Updates to come as I figure things out. 

Again, thank you all so much for your support thus far ❤
