If we haven't already done so, is there some way we can establish word count standards for story length? Because I'd say a lot of stories are highly inaccurate. For example, I'll see some stories that'll be in the 4-6 length range and be 100,000 words or so, and then others in the 4 range that are 2,000-6,000 words in length.
As you can see there are some stories like newer ones called The Kings Successor, and Androidic Purge which are super short but have a length of 4. Then meanwhile we have other stories which are rated at 6-7 which have a lot more words.
Look at a bunch of stories word count compared to the length the author set, it's not any of the authors faults but they are extremely inconsistent, which leads to disappointment when you see a 6 length rated story thats only 2,000 words.
Thoughts and opinion? Feel free to share you vile fiend bags.
Edit: Shout out to BerkaZerka for having over one million words in his Dead Man Walking story, that is a huge amount of dedication.
