Format

This indicates the length or type of work being archived. Select the best fit from the following choices:

• Drabble: A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words -- no more, no less.
• Vignette: Very short fiction of roughly 100-1500 words.
• Short story: Roughly 1500-7500 words.
• Chapter: A chapter or section of a longer work. Can be any length.
• Novellette/Novella: Roughly 7500-50,000 words. (The distinction between novellette and novella is not always clear, so here they are combined in the same category.)
• Novel: Over 50,000 words.
• Reference Article: A non-fiction article on a topic appropriate for the archive.
• Poem: Self-explanatory.
• Script: Anything written in a script format, whether theatrical, screenplay, or other.
• Manga/Comic: Comic book, manga, or graphic novel format.
• Artwork: For links to image files.
• Other: Anything that doesn't fit in the other categories.

Note that the length definitions are general guidelines rather than hard rules (except for the drabble, which is 100 words by definition.) Use whatever category seems appropriate to you.

Very long stories, such as novels and novellas, should usually be broken into smaller pieces and uploaded in the Chapter format. However, the Novellette/Novella and Novel format options are offered for use when adding a link to a long work elsewhere.
