Description
Screenshot of the draft copy upload of the latest short story. It is 32 pages, ~10,500 words, and too big to put into a st.ash document all at once. The message at top is: "Document is too large to save"I thought that just erasing the first part of the story would be boring, so I just drew shapes on it. Anyone who can decipher the text through that, probably deserves to see what they managed.
Cheers.

Wow that's long. Good luck figuring out how to divide it up, or find a suitable file type, or whatever you decide to do in order to get it posted :3

Haha yep. I don't think I've written something this long before ... period. Never mind for DA.
The good thing is, the story is broken naturally into two parts, and they separate at the point.
I'm debating if I should load it all at once, or post it as 2 parts.
Jestloo - 2 parts, not on the same day: mean?
(She's proofed it, but if I make any changes based on the second proofreader, well, heh. )

Period? As in the Dragon Mage novels don't count? xD
About 10,500 words you said, right? Seems more like a tiny novella than a short story haha!
Oh that's good! It would be super inconvenient to find somewhere in the middle to cut it in half. :'D
Hm. 2 parts would be interesting! Add some suspense perhaps? But I dunno, whatever works for the story. I don't know what's in it. xD

Well, the DM pieces were written a chapter at a time, not all at once, so to speak. And that second bit? I get that a bit ...
Yep. "Part the first" and "Part the second." It splits between the two, and both parts are manageable.

Totally mean. I'm gonna have to figure out how to split my comment. And darn it, it's gonna look shorter now...
(That's kinda funny how you brought me into this conversation. Funnier still, that it's with one of my other good friends. XD)
(And I'd like the updated copy after. If the next proofer finds anything, I don't mind. I'm well aware that grammar isn't my thing.)

You could just write more ...

That's huge. You definitely will have to separate it into parts. >.>

Heh, the story was actually written as a 2 parter, and it naturally settled into the stash that way.

Ha! You gonna have to do it in parts then? Doing a PDF file is too big too?

Haven't tried PDF; I actually loaded it the way I did, anticipating someone able to proof it.

Possibly. Jessica-Rae-3 said she might be able to.
I'm eager to have it proofed, so I can post it ... dunno if you're eager to share your thoughts.

That's nice of her to offer.
Good thing I typed them already. I've been waiting to share. XD
(I forgot and nearly panicked because I didn't remember where I put them. It's fine, I know where they are.)
