What's the "made-up word limit"?

No idea. Did he do it deliberately or did the success of the series go to his head?

I got the impression that things just kept spiraling out of control. He had the basic idea for the story early on, and then as it progressed he went deeper and in more detail with respect to various plot elements, subplots, characters, and so on, to the point where he had a massive undertaking in hand.

Note to self: trim the plot-hedges.
