Well you know, it's 20 pages in any given word processor

I *sniff* even tried so hard *sniff* to create an abridged version of the full story *sniff* so we could all have a good time and enjoy it together *sniff*

Don't worry about it, Mondo. As long as it's 40,000 or less, than it's good to go.

Edit: I thought about getting rid of the max length, but it's probably for the best that we keep it. I want all the stories to be posted directly in the thread, so that there aren't any problems with users being unable to read a story because of issues with the host site, and stories in the thread being bigger than just one or two posts in size would be kinda unwieldy.

Yeah but mine is in fact (now that I check) 29 pages, total of approx 95000 characters with spaces and 77000 without.

What the ****ing ****?? When I try to quote Ori's last post I keep getting a different one! Anyway, yeah, sounds good to me. Mine will obviously be a link.
It's pretty much ready to go.

Hold on one cotton-picking moment here. Where's that post? Have you changed your mind? Are we now back to the 40K limit? Who the hell's eatin' this chicken???

Sorry, man. Check the edit. I'm just gonna stick with the current limit.

If you guys really wanted, I guess it wouldn't be so horrible if the limit was extended to three or four posts (60,000 - 80,000 characters, respectively). But anything more than that would just be way too much. What do you all think?

Maybe I can use the full version then. I just figured I could submit a shorter version by carefully trimming the mumbo jumbo no horror without compromising the integrity if the real story. I mean there's like 4 pages of someone getting dressed

Ok, I think I can stop crying

And I can start. Once again, you can all suck it. Ingrates.

You know what? I'm gonna go start a horror writing competition of my own, with blackjack. And hookers! In fact, forget the competition!
