Yes, they take the most recent submission, as long as it's before the deadline. You should be fine. And -- did the MS Word count include your title and synopsis? Sometimes I add those after I've switched from Docs to Word... and then have a moment of panic when I forget to take them off the count. That seems like a really large difference. I've had the two counts be off by a few words, but never by 30... |

Thanks, yes; synopsis included! All I can think of is that I'd included a number of section breaks (though not 15!) marked with "**"s -- I think MS Word decided they were words, and Google Docs didn't. Anyway, I've learned my lesson and will double-check all word counts in Word in the future... |

Synopsis and title don't count in the final total -- just the story. Scene breaks and hyphenated words both get counted differently by different word processors, though. That's usually where the extra words show up. :) |

Another frustrating thing I've found is that MS Word counts ellipses as three separate words. As in, each dot is its own word. Helpful during NaNoWriMo, but alas, not for this.

Group 5 : Ghost Story / volunteer firefighter / loan
Way Station A volunteer firefighter gets a call on a cold night. He receives some unlikely help in discovering a piece of history. I wrote this one from 3am-6am while on vacation. Some betas salvaged it a bit. Glad to see several others from my group posting!
