Well I'm still a little confused, but we'll have a go anyway. What's the worst that could happen? LOL

I think mainly the how to count updates thing. I'm probably making it way more complicated in my brain than it really is. But do we choose one way and then stick to just that way? Or if we have one long-on-words post do we count it based on words vs the next post that may be picture heavy and so we'd count based on that? Or do we just add up totals for the whole month (words and pictures) and then figure at the end of the month what it is? Like... my first post is 40 pics and 2030 words. If I went just-photos or just-words, it would be two updates. If I went with the mixed option, it would be four updates. But that feels like milking it. LOL I dunno. I'm just here to play sims and write about it. I need to not overthink.

I go with the 20 slides/pics and 1000 words. If you're a heavy writer then Option 1 works. So if you have more pictures then Option 1 sounds best for you.

For me it's just a matter of challenging yourself! I don't necessarily understand the second option, but the first option was the one I thought would work the best because it covers the most options - you can either go based on picture count or word count. My chapters tend to be word heavy sometimes, and so I don't get AS MANY chapters out as someone who's just doing narration and pictures. That's why I asked this year that we have a word count option! Really it's a self-thing; for me I see this as a way to challenge myself to get more updates out, so I picked my story that's got shorter (ish) chapter (at about 2k words per chapter). Me aiming for the 10k words would mean 5 updates for me in a month, which is REALLY good for me normally.

So it's personal preference. If you have any questions I'm happy to help!

I can count your two already bookloverblue, but just know you will have 10 days less to complete them all if you want Gold. ^^ Next year I will make sure there is more advanced notice for this event. This is my first time as a mod and taking on an event of this scope.

Thanks so much. And it's not your fault - I've been away for a while dealing with life stuff. Only been back in the last few days.
