What's the longest thing you've ever written? What do you like or dislike about writing at that length?

The longest thing I've written is my WIP, Rheotaxis. That's currently at 190,000 words. I like having space for multiple plot threads and to investigate what a lot of different characters are doing. The length is also letting me create and explore an alien culture.

My longest story is 41,000 words. I liked that I persevered through some health issues to finish, but I dislike that those same health issues prevented me from editing fully. It was for a big bang, and I just ran out of time/spoons.

I'm actually kind of afraid to reread it for fear of it being a hot mess, but I'm sure I will work up the gumption one of these days.
