   • I have just completed an Xfic, and would like to post it to get some feedback. The story is in 9 parts, with some parts up to 2000 words. Is 2000 words acceptible^([sic]) for a posting length, or should I break the longer parts into smaller lengths for posting? 1997 February 26, Sean, “posting length query”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):
2. (slang, uncountable) Such fan fiction collectively.
   • I'd have to reccommend^([sic]) Paige Caldwell's "Comfortably Numb". It has 3 parts right now.
