size and format?

Maybe this is posted and I just can’t find it but I have only been to this site a few times.
Is there a guideline or rule about the size of a posted piece.
I>E> I just finished a short story that is 125kb. It is just under 6,000 words and has 1 image.
It is written in Word. Can I simply paste including the image?

20,000 word limit per post. Generally, in one post, don't submit anything over two to three pages long, as people (myself included) like to give a detailed critique, and it is a long and painstaking process to do it on a piece five pages long. Post it a page or two at a time, and don't post one after the other. Leave a few hours in between so people can get around to critiquing it.

Sam.

valeca is an unknown quantity at this point
20k character limit--somewhere around 2-3k words per post. And it's best not to post your work in its entirety. Anywhere. Pick the part you think needs the most work/feedback and post that.

This brought back a rather unfond memory of multiple flamers in need of retardant who eventually riled me beyond rational behavior. At first, I was able to hold my own against them; publicly flogging them with sugar coated barbs. The moderators of that forum could not keep pace with the complaints brought against the seething mass of immaturity and thoughtlessness. To suggest that I vented in earnest is an understatement; one flamer posted his own complaint and a rational PM from a moderator brought me back to my senses. We are all human, are we not? Moderators in action. Moderation in judgment. Moderated in for(u)m.
