Not so fond of the idea of Round Robins myself. I'd much rather these people just kept in contact the rest of the year. Last year we got one that went into so much detail, we even got the colour of the daughter and son-in-law's newish-ly painted dining room. I generally find them amusing and aggravating in equal measure.

I've finished the introduction to my fic, in rough, it's come in at 2600, I anticipate that it will be 3500 by the time it's tweaked, and then I have to write the main scene, and the last scene, so I wouldn't worry about length...Apart from finding the time to write, that is.
