Max number characters for descriptions

Switch Blayde ๐Ÿšซ

Does anyone remember the max number of characters for:

1. Bookapy long description
2. Bookapy short description
3. SOL description

I know when it comes to entering it, it will tell me, but I don't want to have to change what I've been working on at submission time.

Thanks.

About 500.

Just do a fake submission, and hit cancel once you've seen the numbers, it'll let you know then.

Duh. Thanks.

SOL = 500 (I thought it was 300)
Bookapy short = 50โ€“400
Bookapy long = 0-4000 (odd that there's no minimum)

Presumably some people don't use the field, so the lack of a minimum is to allow that option rather than having them just clone the short?

And I assumed that if they didn't provide a long, Lazeez would use the short for both.

Hijacking the thread, does anyone know offhand the maximum length of a SOL title?

I thought management didn't approve of non-fictional articles, despite the 'true' tag :D

Stories can have lots and lots of characters. Hero and/or Heroine (although the drug heroin can't be a character) Villains of either sex, accomplices and observers, people who tell the story and ones who question it. In theory all 26 letters of the alphabet can be characters although vowels are more common than a lot of consonants. Q is less usual except in some James Bond stories.

Now I feel tasked to write a story with a drug or chemical compound as a character...

The Heroine Antidote. Her "super power" is curing drug overdoses. :)

Heroine Antidote

Brilliant!

Perhaps, more fitting in the current era, "Fentynal Antidote"...

The Heroine Antidote.

Her nemesis, the Supervillain Dote?

Set it in a pharmacy or drugstore?
