It is really easy to get caught up with research. Good luck with your fic!
Yeah, I'm somewhere in the middle. I usually stick to one shots and they might be anywhere between ~3k to a little over 10k, depending on how the plot unfolds. I do like reading oneshots that are less than 15k - the longer ones are great but I need to make sure I have time to really sit down and not only read it but leave a comment. I struggle with drabbles- I've signed up for a few rounds of seasonsofdrabbles, but I still end up doing either double or triple. I'm not concise enough to write a story in 100 words either.
I'm closer to pantser than a plotter; there are always scenes that I have in mind and I know how I want the story to end, but I also don't plot out and write an outline. I wish I could be more of a plotter; it would make it possible for me to write longer fics without worrying about abandoning them.
My current WIP is sitting at a little over 17k words posted. When I first started writing it, I really thought it would only be about 20k max, but there's only two chapters up and a lot of story to go so I'm guessing it will probably be closer to 60k.
