I appreciate that you seem willing to make an exception for my story, SG. I have a richly descriptive writing style, as you know, and a high word count is the price of that. Of course, nobody expects you to read a competition story in one sitting.

As for LTDI being something different, it's someting of a tradition on the wiki for people to break new ground with their first competition story, and I'm doing my best to keep that custom.
