As I just posted on the Shameless Self-Appreciation Thread, I just passed 45k words in Librarian. The thing is, the basic story is told and I'm having trouble figuring other content to add to stretch the length.
I've heard that a good fantasy should be 80k words, but honestly, I'm thinking getting to 60k will be rough, to say nothing of 80k.
What are your opinions? Is a shorter story that tells the story completely okay, or do I need to keep looking for subplots to add?
(If anyone wants to read the manuscript with an eye to suggestions, drop me a private message... I'm not scared of people reading my stuff, I just don't want it out in public just yet.)
