What is acceptable?.

[bear25]

I have an idea for a story I want to try writing. It would most likely end up as a short story, since my attention span is about as long as a hair is thick.

Are short stories still acceptable?. Or will I be ostracized and beaten in the town square?.

The minimum is 750 words. I'd be happy to help you achieve your dream of posting (also an editor).

750 words?. I'm sure I can fill that. Might end up being longer, if my mind starts wondering that is.

Thanks for the editing offer too.

The majority of stories here are one "Lit-page" or less. Since a "Lit-page" averages about 3727 words, which most print publishers would put into the "Short-Short Story" classifiction, I'd say you're more than welcome to expand your idea into the 7,000 -10,000 Short story range.

Seriously, though Literotica is built on short stories and you're far more likely to be pelted with digitized rotten fruit for being too long than you are for being too short.
