Greetings,

I have what may turn into a novella. It's currently 27 single spaced pages font sized at 12 and will increase in length.

What would you all consider to be the length of a novella? I can break it up into chapters (6 already). I'm just into the sex part and will probably conclude it once my characters are sated.

Thanks for your help.
'Novella' is an amorphous term. Best I recall, the usual limit is somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 words. If in doubt about length or formatting a Lush submission, ask Nicola (aka: She Who Must Be Obeyed).

a place to gossip, share news, talk sports, pimp a story, piss & moan, or just grab a drink. Check it out.

10,000 words is the max for single submission, but a lot of readers don't like anything that long. The novels category here is not very popular, but if you place the the episodes into the other categories, views often still drop off eventually.
My latest story is too hot to publish. My most recent story before that is Even Stranger In Lust
I've noticed a lot of "quickie" stories. I prefer some character development so I may do some serious editing and divide the longer stories into chapters.
