@GracieGirl I range between 1000-2000-ish. And everyone else has very good reasons. XD

@aratrea But…but…you’re the Wiser! Ask your frog, or something!!!

@belegteleri Unfortunately even the highest admin levels are not enough to overcome the limits our forum software places on us on that front. 🙁

@GracieGirl *peers in* *looks around* What everyone else is saying, I think. One of the large things it to make it easily readable, whatever the length. So lots of paragraph breaks and section breaks with headings and such.

@catwing I can’t join you. *flips on the drama switch* I fear, o ye catwing, that I must study history…fear not…I will write…sometime.
Fight.

Fight…

*poofs into a pile of melted chairs*

Huh. I wonder what that looks like?

@dragon-snapper @daeus

Thank y’all for answering! I also thought @aratrea would be able to help.

@belegteleri

I can’t change it, but it’s possible that @aratrea or @rolena-hatfield could.

@belegteleri I don’t think there is an option. @kate-flournoy and @that_writer_Girl_99 recently asked the same question, and I think that it wasn’t possible. ?

@salome01w4g @belegteleri Mood…and stuff. I suppose that might affect things.
@daughteroftheking True. Forcing myself to write…to be perfect in writing, never worked.
@ethryndal *headdesks with you*
@revayah1 *stomps around the room like a dragon, pretending to be moody* You know, what you said it actually quite interesting, because whatever…[Read more]

@revayah1 Heya! Welcome to the awesomiest place on the internets!

*pauses strangely and thinks for a question to ask*

Aha! Would you rather where leather boots or slippers to the desert?

You people are way better at this than I am… After a whole day of intense thinking, the best I could come up with was… *drum roll*

A spotted gecko eats something dark, sticky, and probably harmful to mind and bodily health.

Erm… yeah. So much help.

@GracieGirl I actually researched this once, and the general consensus was that 1,000 words is a good length. However, like @Daeus said, this is largely dependent upon the subject matter. KP and K.M. Wieland can get away with longer posts because they’re more like articles. Short stories work as long posts too, but when I write small snippets…[Read more]

Fyi, K.M.Wieland’s posts are also often above 2,000.

I think a large deciding factor is your subject matter.

@shannon Truth is never boring, but variety is the spice of life.

The articles on KP are about that length just for comparison.

@revayah1 Welcome!

*gasp* You’re writing a vengeance book? Those are the best ever.
