I say, go for it with the long fic. Are you thinking of a one-shot or breaking it up into chapters with semi-frequent installments?

Sorry to hear about Oz Daily. I enjoyed looking at the pictures, but can fully understand your reasons for pulling back a bit.

I'm still working on S1 of "The Wire" which I got for Christmas. I get distracted with so many other things that I just haven't sat down to watch it in a while. I'll need to get back soon before I forget who everyone is. Except Omar, of course.
