I find it funny now looking back, how much I agonized over S1 of Xenofestation, that I'd planned 6-8k words per episode, but ended up with ~17k, thinking nobody would want to read something that long. People did read it, and asked for more. So for S2 I averaged 24k per episode.

And people asked for more. Now the opening episode of Season 3 is nearly 29k words, and almost the first review says "I wish they were longer!"
