Exactly. And it's not the paper that's expensive anyway - it's the freaking ink! Grr, I hate buying ink.
Has anyone done the refill thing at Walgreens, and is that any cheaper in the long run? I haven't really had to buy a new ink cartridge since they started doing that, so I haven't tried it.

Yeah. I FIANLLY bought some the other day and when they told me the total I wanted to puke. It is crazy expensive. The Walgreens they just bulit here does that same thing, when these run out, that's where I'm going.

I looked on Walgreens.com, and it's only $10 to refill a black cartridge, $15 for color. MUCH cheaper than buying new! I'm definitely doing that from now on.

Printing has commensed. I've been at it for a couple of hours now, and I'm up to page 210... out of 605. Whoo hoo LOL. I just drained the rest of my black ink, which was half full, and put the new ink in... should be just enough to get me through the rest of the story.

Oh, and I found out there ARE binders big enough to hold BMS... I think. Office Max had these giant 4 inch ones that held like 700 pages, which should be enough for BMS, printed two-sided. They cost $28 though! Holy shit!! $28 for a stupid plastic binder??

Well remember now, you want to spend enough money on the binder so that it's good enough quality to protect your paper. (it's like a case for a guitar, only it's a binder for a story, lol)

LOL I know. If they cost $28, then I guess I'm spending $28, cause I have no idea where else to put that many freaking sheets of paper. Up to page 350 now.

When it's done printing, tell us how long it took. That's a buttload of pages you wrote there, lol.

Well, I've been at it since about 5... I took a break in there for dinner, but I was printing while I ate some of the time. So I'd say I've been at it about 3 hours so far, and I just finished up to page 430.

I know... holy crap, right? Now I HAVE to print BMS just to see how huge it is, cause it's like more than twice as long as Broken. That will probably be a summer project LOL.

Good luck finding a binder for BMS. And sorry... I edited my post too late for you to see. Here: Did you show your family yet?

EDIT: Did you show your family yet? Hahaha... no. I would like to, just to be like, "Look what I wrote," but then my mom would ask to read it, and... no. She already thinks I'm weird for writing Bsb fanfic... I don't even wanna know how weird she'd think I was if she actually knew WHAT I was writing! LOL

Office Max had these freaking HUGE 4 inch binders, and it said they held like 700 pages. I think that will fit BMS if I print it on both sides of the paper like I did with Broken. I actually fit Broken into a 1.5 inch binder... it says it holds 375 sheets, and Broken is about 303 printed out on both sides.
