Longest individual notation?

Fxe8=Q++

Is eight so that is long.

++ also means checkmate.

Pawn capture to promote and mate, but add a double check.

What is the longest standard annotation that can be made on a single move? 

The longest I can think of is "fxe8=Q#" or something to that effect (where a pawn captures to promote and mate). Is there anything that uses more characters?

P.S By "standard annotation", I am just excluding commentary such as ??, ?! etc, as you can put as many exclamation points as you want (in theory).

Thank you

Could be an attempt to make the longest while putting the amount of moves.

@DanielDonovan9 There is no need to specify that that queen was taking a night so that would not be in the notation.

Could you add 1/2-1/2? Or what's the notation for draws?

#9, how can a checkmate be a blunder or a mistake? (157. Gxh8=Q#)
