GPoints: 451 Rep Power: 2 | Nhn, I know ^^. I wasn't criticizing her, I was just thinking about how 50 pages of MS Word makes up nearly 100 pages of your average novel. I'd pity any judge who'd have to read several entries of that length XD
Ignore me. I think aloud a lot :3

GPoints: 1,460 Rep Power: 7 | What if the story was actually...
interesting?
...and worth the page length?
@ I'm not shooting for extra points.
I'm just trying to see what I can play around with.
If I have to dumb it down in length,
then I will.
I tend to write things in length, naturally,
so writing something as small as a couple of pages is like...
going back to grade school for me.

Instead I was saying I don't know how to read. You caught me.

GPoints: 451 Rep Power: 2 | Wow, you guys reply fast. I'll have to improve my typing speed to keep up ^^
Anyway, you'd have to ask Sidespin about the page or word limit. I can imagine that she'd say 50 pages would be a bit excessive. =]

GPoints: 306 Rep Power: 2 | I got your point, which is why I agreed in the end. You just stated "If I had to read 50 pages.."
You never said anything about whether if it had been good or not.
-- I think 50 pages might would be excessive for a contest like this just because, it seems judges may end up having to read way more than they want to in the amount of time they'd like to do so.

and have nothing better to do other than lurk about.
...and I plan on keeping it under twenty pages.

GPoints: 451 Rep Power: 2 | lol, mine will probably be around 3000 words, at the most. I tend to write one shots, as opposed to short stories. If I write anything longer, I don't' stop and it turns into a novel, or rather a potential novel.
I should get started. I have exams this month, so might run out of time if I don't get writing soon.
