I'm not cut out for novellas...in a good way

Crossposted from the Hermione Big Bang Author's comm for those interested in what I'm up to:

I'm up to 4300 and change in my Cedric/Hermione AU fic (Harry sacrifices himself for Cedric in the graveyard. Hermione and Cedric time travel to save him), and Harry's not even dead yet. It's looking like this fic (barring massive problems) will be WELL over 20k, and that's after I decided to narrow the scope to Cedric and Hermione's initial time traveling instead of trying to cram years 4-7 into one fic. Sequels ahoy!  I'm not sure if this installment will be a full-fledged novel, but it looks like I'll be dealing with this plot bunny for some time to come. My beta's going to kill me. Now if I could just come up with a title...
