I'm kind of curious about a few entries that are over 20k words, though.

There is no minimum wordcount, but the maximum is 20kw. If you feel this is too restrictive, please contact me, Bicyclette, to discuss a possible exception.

they contacted me and we discussed an exception.

and yeah, we really do have our work cut out for us!
