I wasnt sure where to put this, since there doesn't seem to be a meta forum so I put it here.Does one post for feedback on novellas (20k+) in the Short Story forum or the Novel forum?
Posted by InarticulateBabbler (Member # 4849) on :
I think Novellas go in Fragments & Feedback for Short Stories, and Novelettes go into Fragments & Feedback for Novels.[This message has been edited by InarticulateBabbler (edited April 16, 2008).]

Ok...what length do those two terms mean for you? As I understand the terms it'd be the other way around...novellas are longer than novelettes.The piece is question is around 22k

Yeah, it's the other way around.At least, according to the way the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America awards (Nebulas) are given out.
short stories up to 7500 words
novelettes 7501 to 17,500 words
novellas 17501 to 40,000 words
novels over 40,000 words (includes YA length)
