ZERO summary, over 5,000 words.. its selling for lass than 2 cents per word!

I cant even get stuff accepted if the summary has 4 sentences or tow, it has to be exactly three and exactly perfect. and anything over 1200 words gets rejected due to length... what in the name of?

How did this make it to the general queue and it just got accepted too!

Got to be some crazy ghosts in the system, surely? If you click on it there's nothing at all in the long summary :shock:

Nope, hang on, it's just so long that it took forever to load up all that extra info - it's all there!

its just, wow.. I'm still floored they got by without the summary and at that length. plus the notes at the top of the article.. notes arnt allowed within the article.. but the notes say it is only 2900 words long.. this makes no sense.. is an editor passed out and accidentally fallen onto the keyboard so it got approved?

The other thing is that they would be more likely to get sales and would make more money if they just split it into several shorter articles.

It's probably a private request that didn't sell within the time period.

This is one of the "expand" articles for a major writer pool. The rate is 5 cents a word for the added words only. And I'm guessing the writer just forgot to attach it to their writer pool request.
