Well, I obviously have preference for one over the other, but I am looking to hedge my bets. Both programs are amazing, after all, even if West is a little more geared towards my talents.

How does one keep a short story under 6000 words?

Em: basically Back In The Day before morgoth showed up on middle earth the elves basically divided in two?
Em: a bunch of them went off west to chill with the valar
Em: and the rest were like, we're cool, we're gonna just hang with these trees
Em: maybe make some ents, whatever
Kassie: ooo *that's* where ents come from
Kassie: these are our giant trees! we call them giants!
Em: you just picture the elves talking and talking at the poor fucking trees
Em: until they start to talk back out of sheer self-defense
Em: ...I do, anyhow.
Kassie: (although actually, nobody knows quite what "ents" means in Anglo-Saxon so it's kind of appropriately mysterious)
Kassie: ahahaha no that seems
Kassie: appropriate
Kassie: man i remember the silvan elves being kinda dicks in the Hobbit as well
Em: I need to reread the hobbit
Em: the silvan elves are totally dicks there
Em: legolas' dad: what an asshole.
Kassie: fo reals
Em: which is one of the reasons legolas/gimli continues to be delightful.
Em: I LOVE HIM DAD.
Em: YOU CAN'T COME BETWEEN OUR LOVE.
Kassie: ahahahaha omg 
Em: YOU'RE SUCH A DICK.
Em: DID YOU NOTICE THE SECOND AGE ENDED?
Em: *GOD* DAD WHATEVER
Em: I'M MOVING TO ITHILIEN TO BE WITH HIM
Em: DON'T CALL ME
Kassie: shdgfg
Kassie: perfect

I downloaded a demo for this game called ‘Reckoning: Kingdoms of Anguldfjdhfkdfantasybullcrap’ and I knew it was going to be bad because it was apparently written by RA Salvatore and yeah, oh boy was it a laughable boy-fantasy wankfest, the kind that when read around you get secondhand embarrassment from ever having glanced in the direction of a genre work just by token of its...
