There isn't any limit to how long the stories can be, just be aware that many people won't have time to read the whole thing. Generally I see people tend to prefer the stories to be shorter, but there are still longer ones that get written and I know some enjoy reading the long stories. Its really just personal preference, but all that to say its totally fine to have a long story. You can also change it later on if you like, so if you get approved but later decide there is something you want to change in it thats still an option, there is a separate form on the thread just for that ^^

I want to participate in LOLO this year, for the first time. I'm already a bit late to the party and dressing up my pet and writing a story took longer than I anticipated.
Now I'm mostly done, but things got slightly out of hand.
Whenever I try to write, it either feels too short and stilted, or I get abducted by plot bunnies. :lol:
Can a LOLO story be too long? Mine's like...1900 words...
I can't decide if I should put in a few more days' work to re-write it and make it shorter, or say "this is as good as it gets, I'd just be wasting time 'improving' a story I'm already satisfied with" and go ahead and finally post my form. :?


there is no limit to words! if you want to send a long story, do it.. it would probably be more appreciated this late in the season while ToTers are slow

i like when a story is at least two paragraphs, personally.
if it is longer, do not forget your line breaks though

I'm always happy to trade or talk about stuff with people :) I can't read the small text well, so if you PM me, please use normal or larger sizes.

      Featured Users

    Featured Users is a way for users to get noticed when they have their lights on. We will occasionally go through the list of users and randomly pick out 10 who have their lights on and post those 10 in a Featured Users.

    You will still need to check the lights status of the users! Don't send them messages unless their lights are on. Their lights may be on at the time I post the list, but they may change their status before you see it, so always check.

    Additionally, please do not quote/repost this if you are commenting on it.

    To see previous Featured Users posts for this year's game, search the keyword 'lemon' on the thread.
