It's not surprising that you wouldn't suspect, Kid. Fanfiction.net has some immensely long stories, but the stories here tend to be shorter. (A year ago, word counts for the better competition stories were typically 50-70K upon completion.) That's starting to change, though, as the writers gain more experience and, in most cases, more formal education in writing-related fields.
