@estellaxcielo Hi! A short story is anything shorter than 10k words, but if it extends this by 1-2k words that's also acceptable. 
          	  
          	  We are looking for short stories with a beginning, a middle and an end. We don't accept a chapter from novels or a novellas as a chapter's purpose is to motivate the readers to move on to the next without a necessary conclusion of the overall plot. Unless you think that a specific chapter from your novel is a standalone, we don't recommend to submit it for our anthology book.
          	  
          	  If you have a dedicated book for short stories and poems etc, then of course, we'd accept and consider the relevant story in your collection.
          	  
          	  We hope this helps.♡

Hello Darklings,
          
          Time for a question of the week:
          
          Which plot twist hits harder: the betrayal of a lover, or a sacrifice for love?

tipsydreamer

@WattpadAfterDark you think it is a betrayal, everyone thinks it is a betrayal, but in fact, it is a sacrifice
