I am new here to Literotica, and am in the process of writing my first story for the site. I have carefully gone over the submission guidelines and I know there is a minimum length expectation, but is there a maximum? Obviously I will not be writing an entire novel, but it is becoming a bit of a lengthy story - so far I am at 4340 words and the hero has just had the first personal interaction with the heroine. Of course I expect my word count to go down during the editing process, but am still concerned it will be much longer than originally anticipated.
In a related note, in my admittedly short time spent browsing some stories here (I intend to spend more time!) I have noticed some stories are in parts. I am assuming those parts were submitted separately, but assumptions can sometimes be wrong. If they were submitted separately, as a writer do you write the entire story at once and then submit the parts separately, or do you write part one and submit it, then write part 2 and submit it? If you do that - is it unusual for the first part or two to have minimal if no sex at all?
If this is not the appropriate forum to ask this I apologize in advance!
