No, I won't do a wordcount until a story is completely finished.
(and for stories with a lot of chapters it would be nice if the author could send it in...)

If this is at all directed toward me, I could easily send in a word count for Developments, but I didn't think they were desired for ongoing stories.

I have a spreadsheet with the word count for every chapter, totaled by act. It's amazing the things you'll do to kill time while you're blocked...

[Oddball]

The word count for my stories is "More than three."

Always.

I really don't check any further than that.

I also have a habit of going back and doing some small edits without telling anybody, so it might be more accurate to list my word counts as (some number)-ish.

… it might be more accurate to list my word counts as (some number)-ish.

That's why I rounded the count for my longer stories to the nearest hundred. While I have a word count from the original file, I discovered that eliminating the formatting tags dropped the word count by two for each instance. Thus, I don't have a definitive count.

You have formatting tags in the original file? I have to add all that stuff in when I go to post my new chapters. It usually takes an hour or more just to get them all in place, and I still usually miss an italics call, or a paragraph break here and there...

Yes. It makes it much simpler. When I edit Leaty's stuff, I add the tags as well.

[Comrade]

Out of curiosity (considering I am approaching the end of Act One of Blossom), does the word count remain pending until completion or is it updated at each "transition"? I'm still not entirely sure how this system works, so please forgive my idiocy if this is obvious

I will only put down word counts for works that are either abandoned or completed

[Lloyd Snow]

An OC x Rin tag for my story would be lovely.

[Mirage_GSM]

That would be "Living" for easier reference.

And that's why I didn't want to include ongoing fics directly after they appear: Too much is still subject to change.

[Lloyd Snow]

I'm actually surprised at the amount of people suggesting changes to the ways that you guys organise this; you're doing a very good job.

I'll assume you meant that we are doing a good job, and not the guys suggesting changes :3

Does anyone have any better names for the archive? It has to have "archive" in the name

Does it? Why not just call it The Yamaku Library?

Oh that's nice, maybe
