Hi, to answer your questions...
@freewritehouse is owned by @mariannewest. There are several people who run it with her (run various contests, some in Spanish some in English, and upvote and moderate, etc).
It is Bruce @felt.buzz (me!) who runs the #zapficmonday and #zapfic50friday contests (and it is me who owns and runs the @zapfic.club account too).
To answer your question re character count. I prefer it if you post the character count screenshot in your post. With between 30-65 entries twice a week it is quite a feat to check that all entries are valid, it just makes it easier for me if it is in one place. That said, if the story looks about the right length and is good I will come back here to check to see if a screenshot has been provided with the link.
Thanks for your questions and support!
Bruce :)
Fabulous! Thank you, Bruce 🙏 All duly noted 😃
