Labelling story lengths

[Luca E]

There is a great facility on the site to search for stories by length, just like you can search by genre and or add tags. I wondered what people would think of labelling story lengths, it's the same as the present search by word count, but a little more user friendly to categorise by story length types.

It could look something like this:

• Tome: 300,000 + words
• Epic Novel: 150,000 - 300,000 words
• Novel: 40,000 - 150,000 words 
• Novella: 20,000-40,000 words
• Novelette: 10,000-20,000 words
• Short story: 1,000-10,000 words
• Flash fiction: 1,000 words

We do in the Story Filter "story type", though not on the story themselves.

Wouldn't that be repetitive? Can't we figure the same thing out by looking at word count?

Now that I'm home... I can screenshot.

 

Putting this on the story itself may be useful on completed stories, but not so with in process ones.

I think that's great!  Also though, as @Carlos Hazday says, you don't need the word count the new story labelling has it all and is more friendly, imo.
