I can't upload my short story. According to Microsoft Word's count, it's at 3,929 words, so it should be under the limit, but I'm wondering if Neopets counts hmtl codes for bold, italics, etc., as separate words.
Has anyone run across this problem before... and more importantly, can anyone recommend a solution?
Thanks! Perry

Yeah, if a written submission is near the word limit, even if it's still under, it'll have trouble going through. I don't remember the exact reasoning, but something in the formatting or way the system saves submissions tacks on a couple hundred(?) words, so those that skirt the limits can't get through.
If you trim your story a bit, though, (my guess again being a couple hundred words) then it should be able to submit just fine ^^

Good call. About 100 words fewer and it went through. Thanks so much!
