So I just typed THE END at the end of the last book to the project that emerged from a little one-shot story I began writing in 1998, and it turns out that The Laundry Files/New Management runs to just over 1,710,000 words.
It's actually longer than WORM by Wildbow.
It's more than twice as long as the English Standard Version of the Bible.
It's more than three times as long as The Lord of the Rings.
(And, subject to some editing/polishing/reworking, it's finished. For now, anyway.)

@tenderlove Speaking as a sometime perl guy ... WHY????
I mean, looking back up Apple's wordexp.c there's a potload of bonkers regexp parsing stuff: if you're willing to accept the overhead of shelling out to perl for a single join(), why the hell don't you simply do everything in perl and save a lot of faffing about? (I know, I know, not the point, but ...)

They might have gotten away with this 30 years ago when HP inkjets were a premium machine that sold for $400-600. But they've spent 25 years giving them away for less than manufacturing cost and selling the cartridges at a markup. They've trained the public to believe inkjets are worth $36 to buy and own, not $36/month.
This is going to boomerang on them—hard.
