I made myself write a 6000 word fic and then I was like "no, I don't enjoy making longer fic after all" and that helped a bit. But I still feel bad about under 1k words. Like "is it worth people's time, will they get mad?" but nobody seems to mind actually?

I had a fic with an insane number of hits (for the fandom, anyway) and someone suggested a bot of some kind was involved there.
