6000 words is a maximum, not a recommendation. Don't English teachers usually give you a minimum or a range rather than a maximum?
Actually, I've been surprised at how many short entries we have so far -- especially after people asked about exceptions to the 6000 word limit.
And I need to get my ass in gear and finish my own story. I have about 4500 words so far.

I really like your plotting and style, but the pacing is still a tad sub-literary. You might want to work on trimming your work of adjectives (swamping a first draft with the little buggers is done by the most talented of writers.)

Ah, then the need for a more "pressing" style of description would arise, naturally. Still, I really like that sense of urgency, that getting to the point of Spoderman, in how he asserts he can spin webs. Certainly, here we are shown the moral conviction and inner strength of a well-developed protagonist.

I think the abridged version captures Spodermen's internal struggle really well in fewer words.

Especially the inverse-Oedipal Complex with God that you so cunningly described by using Jesus as a metaphor, and this all in ONE SENTENCE. The abridged version is obviously a work of artistical expression not hitherto witnessed on this earth.

Wait until I publish the revised edition.
