Ok, you two are in.
As of now, I have nothing to offer but a title, nor do I wish to actually make anything. If someone wishes to, then I'd be grateful.

A question. Will there be leniency for word count? I know programs count words differently. Really, what I'm asking is if someone posts and by their count it's 497 and by your count using a different program it's like 503, is that gonna be a big deal? Obviously stuff like "uh here's my entry it's 1500 words" is a problem, but a few words over the limit shouldn't be that big a deal.

I will not accept anything over 3% the full limit. Simply put, if I get something over 515, I will manually count it myself and then reject it if it is over that length. I would like it to be under 500 if possible though, thanks.

Just another question to clarify, since we're not writing the rest of this, do we just drop it mid-sentence as you did or can we put like "And so they headed off into the sunset." and give it some semblance of closure?
Also, does the 500-word limit include the bit you gave us?

You can. I just asked for the next section, so it doesn't have to be complete (semi-balance of closure is good). It does have to be coherent though (pretty obvious, but making sure).
No, it's just your section that counts in the 500 word limit.
Any more questions?
