Hi!
I`m currently writing a story for the Dirty Dozen November challenge. I was only wondering how long / many words a one shot may be? I am halfway or two thirds along now and have nearly 3000 words.

Is this too long? It`s hard to keep it light, and I would love to let the plot play it`s field.

Regards, Saphira.

P.S: Sycophanthex is the best thing that`s happend to me in the world of reading. I think very highly of all those who make the site and the wonderful stories! Very Happy

We suggest nothing longer than 12,000 words. I think the system has been tested up to 15,000 though.
