That's considered a one-shot if it is just one chapter. If it multiple chapters, then it is a story. Some stories can be that long and still be good though.

I mean, I've seen chapters 10,000+ words...

They take like half an hour+ to read...

Yeah, those long chapters are usually the ones that make up full length books, which is what I try to do but always get sidetracked :P I think I had like 5 chapters of one story.

I don't know that that is big enough for a lab. She'll probably move the one from her house to the hideout if possible.

I support that idea. I mean, we're nearing 100 pages of IC. Slowing things down would be a good idea right about now.

I say five for twelve hours, that way there is a chance of going through an entire conversation in under one day.

Honestly, I disagree with a posts-per-day limit. It should only limit posts about the main story; sub-plots, like the countless romance sub plots shouldn't have restrictions on how much people can post about them a day.

Valid point, but it would be much easier to find the important posts of the main plot when there aren't walls of tiny sub-plots dividing them.

This is a hard decision really...

How do we differentiate between main plot posts and sub plot ones? It has to be something we can objectively agree on.

Main Plot Posts: Posts that directly affect the main story/are about the rebellion.

Sub-Plot Posts: Posts that have nothing to do with the rebellion and don't affect the main story in any way, like romance between two characters or a character having a personal crisis.

Actually, they often intertwine between each other.

For example, the last few posts between Mac and Concerto show that romance will go in line with the plot as well.

We just require a nice amount of posts per day where people not active all the time can be able to keep up and not have to read walls of posts to even know what is happeneing.

This is why I reccomend five per each RPer. That's like about twenty posts per day at a max?
