    Word count? Did someone say word count??

    I humbly request that the word count for short fiction be raised to 3,000 – enough for a more developed short story!

    :-D

    I cannot WAIT to purchase my copy! Congrats to everyone who was featured in the issue and I am already sharpening my pen for the next submission date!
