[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 3133290, member: 11"] I was looking through the Story Hour index that Sterverooo started way back when and got caught on this part of the entry template he came up with. And I thought, most people write up their installments in word or some other word-processing program and must keep saved copies of previous installments, we should be able to figure out an actual guideline. So I went back to my ten most recent installments (including the one I will post tomorrow after proof-reading it) and did a word count and figured out an average. Here is my data: The average word count was: 3740.7 words per installment (an installment is any single posting of the story of a story hour, whether it be one whole session, part of a session or multiple game sessions) The longest one was the most recent, at 7012 words. This was one of only two of the 10 installments that were longer than 4000 words. The shortest was 2528, which was one of only two that were shorter than 3000 words. So anyway, take 5 minutes and figure out your numbers and post them. At the very least, it will just be interesting to see how much variation there is among this group of writers. I am adding a poll as well, but that is just for a quick gander at results - I still would like people to actually post them. [/QUOTE]
