How long?
How long can the stories be that we post here?

I've seen a lot of long posts here (I've made more than my fair share) . And I haven't yet run into a limit in similar forums. Maybe I should write longer posts.
I'd bet if you posted one chapter at a time, there would be no problems unless you are channeling Dickens.
Moreover, I wonder if we are allowed crossovers. I would hate to be the one who started acrimonious controversy by putting up a vs. fanfic, but that is what I have written so far. Anyway, I won't post it until I have an administrator's blessing.

I've written a Pern fanfic that I was thinking of posting here. Actually, it's half fanfic, half original story set in my own Universe.Drake Zure wrote:i would imagine as long as you want, although there may be a character limit on the length of individual posts.
also, regarding your signature:
PERN IS AWESOME!
go, Mnementh, go!

Can we get word from the webmaster on the character limit in posts here?
Go and read my fan fic "The Hansen Diaries"! And leave comments!

I'd quite like to see a Pern fanfic, I haven't found many of them.
As for the length, post each chapter seperately, that's what I usually do in other forums.

Much thanks for that clarification, Ian!
