But then, I am completely insane and read rather faster than most people.

By the bye, UF is one of the few things that I can stand to reread with less than a five-year interval between readings.

That's how I did it both times. The second time, I managed three months. (I was unemployed at the time, and needed some way to alleviate the boredom.)

Looking forward to the new stuff! Almost done with Desolation Angel and looking for to S5 - Familiar spirits!

It's in the middle of my kindle to read list; although at current rate it'll be over 6 months before I start.

Wow. I remember doing this back in, what was it, '94 or so, since I still had access to the free laser printing at school, and it was already about six-eight inches thick by then....

Not the only one -- I printed out my copies (and still have them!) from '93-on, up until little after graduating and entering the workforce. I remember Zoner being quite flabbergasted when I dropped the 4+ inches worth of double-column pages in front of him at the fanfic panel that one Katsucon... ahhh, good times.

(I'm pretty sure I have a photograph of that moment, but it's A) buried in my photo boxes, which are NOT organized in a meaningful way, and B) the photos were taking with my 110 cartridge Instamatic camera, which did NOT have good light level capture. ^_^; Eh, someday I'll get them sorted...)

You and me both, my friend. Perhaps when my kids are old enough we can relive those days with them, at least until they put us to bed :)

Going by my calculations, the current body of UF work comes to 27.4 MB. This includes compiled Omnibuses, but does not include currently independent Featured Documents or Mini-Stories. The sum total of Eyrie Productions work comes to 32.3 MB (minus .45 Caliber Angel, since I don't have release dates for those pieces).

(yes, I'm keeping track of this).
