This isn't a 750-words minimum exercise; it's a 750-words EXACTLY exercise. Not counting the standard foreword of it being a 750-word exercise. If you foreword adds content to the story, though, I think it should count toward the 750-word count.I have a 593 word story, but with the Forward it counts to 900+. Would it pass the 750 word minimum requirement?

Any text you submit counts towards the minimum to publish a story.I'm not talking about the 750 word challenge. I'm talking about a regular submission having to be at least 750 words long.
Umm, OK, gotcha. In that case any and all forewords are included in the qualifying count. Lit. provides a word count on the first page of the story, and I've noticed that all forewords are included in that count.I'm not talking about the 750 word challenge.

The minimum text length is 750 words, so a long forward and short story will be fine, but not, as Melissa says, in the 750 Word Anthologies.I'm not talking about the 750 word challenge. I'm talking about a regular submission having to be at least 750 words long.
I didn't count my foreword when I did my story. If the program does it anyway.... [grumbles] I hope my story can be accepted nonetheless and as far as I'm concerned, I still completed the challenge.
This is my entry in the 2024 750-word story challenge. The story is exactly 750 words starting below.
I suspect it's most likely a technical thing related to the story data files. Poetry can be shorter, but I think it has to be forced to fit, somehow, which might explain why poetry often gets handled in batches.
