I get the permission thing. Honestly I wouldn't worry about the length too much (although I'm dealing with the same concern with my story The Soldier I posted on the workshop last night). My thought is this: good stories written well get read, regardless of length. I'll use the PoTM the Remover as an example...that things a mini-novel and people are eating it up. The challenge with a longer story is to keep your readers engaged....do that and it could be 1000 pages long and they'll still want more. Additionally, it comes down to who your writing for. This seems like a very personal project based on your experiences. Who the hell cares if somebody else doesn't like it because it's "too long?" About 0.5% of the stuff written here will make it to a slender man or jtk level of popularity. Write it for yourself and make it the best you can. If it's good, people will read it.
