Alright, I have a question. In google docs- my word count is 499, but when I pasted it in Wacky, it shows the word count is 549?? What do I do?

Hmm, that is tricky indeed :thinking: I think we may have had this issue reported before, where Wacky counts words differently from other platformsā€¦so in this case, we would probably make an exception. Thanks for bringing it up! :blush:

Has anyone else been having this problem? And if yes, whatā€™s your difference in word count?

Is the site going to put together a reading list of all the entries in the competition once the submissions close?

Maybe :eyes: We havenā€™t gotten to that part yet, haha, but itā€™s something Iā€™ve definitely had on my mind :wink:

sigh Iā€™m back with another problem.
I posted the story but no oneā€™s able to go to that page.

Are you sure you managed to post your story? I donā€™t see it on your page :thinking: It might still be in draft form, make sure both the chapter and the book are published.

I logged out and logged back in then republished it. Should I submit the form again?

I can see a book of one-shots now. If thatā€™s the one, then yes, please - a resubmission would be great :blush:
