Date: 2015-01-15 03:17 am (UTC)While obviously we'd love to have you, there is still some time to make up your mind as the artist's sign-ups aren't until May.
So... perhaps both? :D

Date: 2015-01-26 05:09 pm (UTC)Re: WORD COUNT QUESTION
Date: 2015-01-26 05:24 pm (UTC)I'm sorry but I have no idea. If you create your story in Word or in a similar software program it will tell you the word count.
If you are not using word processing software, I would suggest counting the average number of words on a typical page for you and approximating it from there. Obviously page content varies from person to person based on the margins you set, etc.
