Vicky (librovert) | 240 comments I'm hoping to get some web fiction approved, as I just read Other Sides: 12 Webfiction Tales and discovered some really interesting stories I want to read!

They don't have any official counts, so I clicked on the "Printer-Friendly Version" link at the bottom of each page and copied and pasted into word to get the word count. Hopefully that's enough info! :)

A Token-Box With Which to Buy a Soul
117,000+ Words | Weblink

The Buzzards That Circle the Throne
103,000+ Words Weblink

From the author's website it seems that this audio edition is a stand-alone edition that does not have a print equivalent. It is described as a lecture/workshop recording rather than a book. From the rules- formats #8: Audiobooks that do not have a written word equivalent, either published in paper or digitally, may NOT be used for SRC tasks.

At 31,700 without any other appearance in print (anthology, etc) this book works out to 90-126 pages. It would be appropriate for a 5 pt task.

This ebook doesn't need verification as print editions exist, but do be careful that your Kindle ebook is unabridged or a direct equivalent to a print edition if you would like to use it for a task requiring a number of pages. This classic has been heavily abridged over the years from the 3 volume original. It does appear that the 2 editions you linked are equivalent. Kindle- The Mysterious Island
