I went to Nifty today. I have to be grateful to Nifty: they were one of the first sites to archive all of my gay stuff and provide me with one of the primary outlets on the Intarweb way back when I was just a little site with fifty stories or so.

There's a section labeled "Prolific Authors" in their catalog. It's for people who've written twenty or more stories, at least that's what I gather from the screen. I found my name in the index, but the anchors didn't work right so I scrolled down to it.

I damn near missed it as it flew past. Each author was in bold, followed by line after line of titles. Mine was one line: Too many to list here.

Sigh.

But, hey, I did 2,800 words today, bringing me up to a three-day total of: weird, 9800 words exactly.

Okay, semi-serious question. Part of the content of the documents is a header I write by hand. I use a pure text editor: word processors just give you the power to fiddle endlessly. My header looks a little like a mail or usenet header, and it has keys like "Universe," "Arc," "Synopsis," and so on. I do write them by hand, but they're meta-data and not actually part of the story. Do they still add to the word count? Without them, the word count is 9,566.
