LAL is currently the 2nd-longest noncompetition story on the wiki. Total Wikia Elementary has ~32k words of actual story. These two currently rank 19th and 12th, respectively, in total page length, although that can be influenced by factors other than word count.

On a related note, the Long Pages listing names only 6 noncompetition stories in the top 50. My own short story (for so I think of it, despite its technically novella length) is currently #5 among noncomps, with almost exactly 10k words.

The two latest chapters of LAL averaged 3600 words, so 5 more chapters at that rate will be enough for the magic 45k threshhold. Of course, Gigi hasn't made LAL what it is by throwing in extraneous detail just for the sake of inflating the word count.
