Is there a limit as to the size of a fan fic? Because, as to date, mine is two pages long and growing

Nope...but there is a character limit on posts. I'm not sure what, but it's 10,000 in PMs, if I remember correctly.
If you write anything longer it's be better to post it on a page of its own anyway. What's the wordcount? You can't really measure size by pages, since it varies so much.

I'm writing it on paper, so I don't know... It'll probably be shorter than two pages, but it's still growing

When I'm writing in a hurry, I can take a page to get even a paragraph down...or worse. I use a pen (pencil smudges too much) and end up crossing things out. Well, on unlined paper, anyway, which is what I usually write on on the rare occasion I can't type something. I 'borrow' it from the printer, eh he he...
If I get lined paper, I always end up drawing anyway-and stuff *always* turns out better on lined paper, just to spite me.

Huh? I was just rambling about my own writing habits... I envy people who can write serious things. And longer things. The longest story I've written is in the 33,000 word range .

Well, it took months...the better part of a year. I did abandon it for a while, though. I tend to do that.
*medieval high school Zoids spoof starts poking Tilly* Yes, yes, I haven't forgotten you exist either. I need to finish and name plotbunny.rtf first...

lol, It's my first attempt at writing a Zoids-based story. The life of a young cadet sounded appealing
