Mine came out at 343 words. I cut the word count down by quite a bit from my first drafts and can't think of much more I can remove without ruining the story. I need to know if this count is acceptable to have a valid entry in this contest, this way if I have to cut some I can at least make the attempt to trim it down.

If i were you i would assume that 300 is the max. I figured i would run into that problem so i kept counting the words as i went so i knew how to adapt. Try going back through and re-writing it with that in mind. That may be your best bet without compromising the integrity of the story. Guardians of Legend

I trust that it was able to work for you, but unfortunately I could not cut it down anymore or condense the material without compromising the theme of the story. I felt that in my latest draft, the material present was necessary for the building up and conclusion of my story.

I'm sorry. That really stinks.

It's fine. Wouldn't any fan want a print signed by the writing team? It will be up to the judges to decide what to do with my piece. Regardless of their decision, I enjoyed throwing my entry out there.

I actually cannot find your entry...

Good. I will be sure to check it out

Thanks.

Oh it's probably buried deep now. I posted it on Saturday night.

Go to the part of the thread where you see July 14th, 12:56:01 AM. So I was mistaken, it was officially complete early yesterday morning after I tweaked it a little.
