hmm weird. Of the years I’ve been on CC, everytime I see questions regarding word count, i see people saying it’s only a guide, and that 600 or even 700 words is okay, as long as you don’t have something outrageously long like 2k words.

but recently I see a change of opinions o.o is it really not okay to pass the limit by a few words?
