Question...

How many pages (double-spaced, twelve font, Times New Roman) can Livejournal take?

Don't give me the number of words - just pages. :P

I did a test for you, and I was able post 114 pages without any problems.

I hope that helps!

Oh, yay! That's good news for the new fic community.

But... it doesn't go by pages. It's not even a word limit either - there's a character limit per post. (I forget what that number is.) So if one person can post X number of pages, that doesn't really mean much because what if their pages have only 3/4 as many characters as yours do?

I know you didn't ask for words, but generally, the word max is anywhere from 10K to 11K, depending, again, on characters used - overall word length being more important than number of words. And I'm pretty sure html code counts toward that as well.

That's very helpful, and...

Your icon is awesome.
