          I think I can top that. In a two week period in my second year of university, I had to complete the following papers:

          20 pages on the James Joyce's Ulysses as one of the most influential novels of the modernist era
          15 pages on American nuclear policy from Kennedy to the Reagan era as an extension of the realist paradigm
          15 pages on the development of Darwinian thought from the Reformation to the beginning of the 20th century
          20 pages on the question "What is history?"

          And I had to redo my portfolio for a two semester course of Fiction and poetics(Creative writing is what it should have been called).

          That was a LOT of writing.

            How do y'all talk about topics in like 15+ pages? That's a lot of information to dicifer.

              One thing that helps for me is frequently using the spell checker. Wouldn't want to make a stupid spelling mistake now!

                  Damn y'all did a lot of work in high school... the most I ever wrote then was probably 4 pages. 15 page paper? I would have said f*** that lol. In college I wrote an 8 page paper for an English class last year.

                    You may have gotten away with it once, but I wouldn't do that again. Especially in college because they google everything and you will get caught, and you will get expelled. It's especially not worth it for a 5 page paper, I could write one of those in a half hour.

                    My longest paper was my senior research project in college on salary controls in professional sports that topped out around 45 pages, I believe. There were a bunch of tables tacked on at the end that probably got it over 50 pages. It sucks trying to staple a paper that big...

                    I also wrote a short story/novel that was over 100 pages in Word. I didn't like the final result and actually deleted it. I have a hard time maintaining my focus over such a great length of pages.

                      At my school most of the teachers use turnitin.com and you can't cheat at all with that ****.

                      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)
