Nice going guys

Interesting. I might enter if I have a time.

ARTHURIUSS · 05-07-2009, 12:19 PM

Hmmm... might take a shot at this...

Raven92 · 05-07-2009, 12:52 PM

hummmmmmmm, I might write up something for this, just for the sake of it. It'll be a darn pain in the arse to confine to a limit, but I can do It

(last time a teacher said 500 words they got 7,000 XD)

200-500 words seems pretty small, especially for a monthly thing...

Now that you mention it, I feel the same too. How about 1000 words?

Hmm yeah maybe 200-500 is a bit short...
How about 750-1500 words? (~1500 words = 2 pages)

Is that good enough?
Oh and btw the discussion is supposed to be here: Competition?

schwann · 05-07-2009, 10:06 PM

Er, can we raise the upper word limit to at least 7,500? The limit you're currently proposing is even shorter than a typical flash story length.

KuroReishin · 05-07-2009, 10:07 PM

7,500 is too much for a short story. 1000 would be ideal.

schwann · 05-07-2009, 10:10 PM

7,500 words is the typical small competition short story length. 1,000 words or less isn't technically defined as a short story. It is defined as a "flash" story, or short short story.
