With SMZ, though, you have to add in the other stories that are in the same arc - Symphony of the Planets, Dance of Shiva, and Black Moon Rising - which pushes it up to 5.38 megabytes.

Then there's another favorite of mine, Children of an Elder God, which I won't make a kb size check on because the pages include graphics but according to Acrobat it passed the 1,000 page mark three or four chapters ago.

Anyone else got some good huge-ficcage?
