  • You gotta love it. My mom throws insults at literally everyone else but then gets upset at me for jokingly calling her a jerk.
    God, that story I wrote yesterday is easily one of my proudest works and I wish you could all read it right now. I'm not usually super proud of the things I write but even I think I did a good job.
    I had a fun dream where I was pretending to work at Walmart and trying not to be caught as a faker.
    Coffee cake muffins, a long story written, and no mom. I'm feeling okay today.

    Never mind. I hate to sound ungrateful but I got some presents from my mom and they're all based on a game I don't like.
    So yeah, that story ended up being 2200 words. Definitely thinking it would be too long for the Shroom but even if it is, I still want to share it.

    I definitely don't think I could break it up, I would have had to write it with that intention in order to put in breaking points. I'll shoot you an application and if you like it, I'm very flexible.

    Looking at my own section "The Odyssey of a Squid", my longest one was 1800 words, which is not far away from yours. So no, I don't think you should worry about it being too long, and we don't have a strict minimum or maximum length for section actually. To quote our Manual of Style, a key element to a good section is making it long enough to fully develop and complete your ideas and not much longer than that.

    If is ever too long, we'll just request you to divide it into several parts. There is always a way to strike a good balance. 👍

    Whatever you end up thinking of it, you have an application in your inbox and I hope you like it because I know I do. I was really proud of it when I finished writing it.
    Maybe 1000+ words is a bit much for a single story in the Shroom but I'm still having a lot of fun writing it.

    The entirety of World of Plight up to this point is almost 20,000 words so I think you're good. (This is not counting anything written that hasn't been published, and that pushes it from around 18,000 to about 24,000.)

    This is one single story though. Isn't World of Plight broken up into a bunch of different parts?

    Yep. It's been running for almost two years now.
    Apparently my mom has such a big ego that I can't even get annoyed at her without her talking down to me.
    Billy Joel really just wrote a list of things and turned it into a really good number one song.
    Today is one of those days where all I want is someone to cuddle with. It's cold, I'm depressed, and I'm really fucking desperate to physically be with someone my own age.

    E: I thought it might be important to mention, the last time I actually got to spend time with someone who isn't at least 20 years older than me was almost three months ago, and I've only gotten to about four or five times at all this year.
    I rescind my statement about Abandon Ship. Baby Bowser's Shell Shocked is the worst minigame in the history of minigames.
    I can't believe I'm going to get to be with my boyfriend for good within the next year. I've wanted it for so long and it's finally happening.
    I wanted to play on my N64 but I plugged in the AV cables (which are the slots on my TV are usually taken up by my Wii) and my TV isn't even letting me go to the AV input. It could be the cartridge slot. I'm pretty sure it's not my TV because I know I've gotten it to work on this TV before.

    You have an n64? Yo I'm so jealous.

    Yeah, I got it maybe seven or eight years ago. I don't use it much but it's still fun to have.
    How the hell do you Shroom writers, especially the ones in Palette Swap that write monthly fiction, come up with good ideas? Do you have like 500 ideas that you reject or is that just my pedantic, future-professional-writer nature?
