Nice participation for this one.


Maybe once a week is better than once a month? Barely takes any time to write.

What do you mean by word limit?

Min. and max. More importantly max. Could be like a big range, like uh 100-500/600 words or something. I dunno.

The fact that some people voted without reading all entries would kinda skew the results. And you can't force them to read every single bit of it before voting (not that we can really monitor that, but..). Just kind of a shame that some entries were not read due to their length. I guess that could be part of it, adjusting your length to make it "nice" to read (not saying it wasn't a nice read, because I read it!) for everyone, but.. uh... I'm only assuming that most people here would like to read short stories.. I dunno if people are meant/allowed to submit things that are 2 pages long or something.

Minimum limit was only suggested because the contest is write a story contest which I assume should have .. at least a bit of text.. but then again I don't there are any entries too short this week anyway so wasn't really a problem this week.

I dunno, I'm just rambling now LOL.

Ummm.. I think saying, "You can only have this many words" is just way too limiting.

Maybe some people should just not vote if they are too damn lazy to actually read a few paragraphs. Since we can't stop them though.. ehh.

But limiting a writer like that is just.. totally not fun and kind of not fair.

EDIT: Short stories? You realize that a short story could be 5pages? We read short stories in English and they are 5-10pages long.

Of course there isn't going to be stories that long on here. The limit on these should be "Whatever you can fit in 1 post." Obviously, thats 'too long' for some people but oh well. Just don't limit the writers on here to a certain amount of words.

EDIT2: And I'm guessing that Lirange and whoever else thought #1 was too long didn't vote for 1. YET, 1 is still winning.
