Hello Perry.
Well that's a good question! We do have Loch Ness for chapters (so there's no maximum there) as long as each chapter it its own tile. As for Stonehenge and Medusa postings, those forums are geared for the short story. I think most categorize short story as 3,000 to 15,000 words. A classic definition of a short story is that it must be able to be read in one sitting. Other definitions place the maximum word length (or number of words in the story) at 7,500 words. In contemporary usage, the term short story most often refers to a work of fiction no longer than 20,000 words (at one extreme) and no shorter than 1,000. Stories shorter than 1,000 words fall into the flash fiction genre. Fiction surpassing the maximum word length parameters of the short story falls into the areas of novelettes, novellas, or novels. Do you have a piece in mind that exceeds 15,000 - 20,000 words? Cheers! ~Cleo  ·······  ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
