2500 is a good word count. 5000 is pushing it sorta. Anything more you're really pushing it. That's just what I think. Check out how other people review, also read the craft essay.

hypercritical (comparative more hypercritical, superlative most hypercritical)

    Meticulously or excessively critical.

constructive criticism (uncountable)

    Criticism performed with a compassionate attitude towards the person qualified for criticism.

Welcome to the site.  If you hate pissing contests, I don't know what to tell you.  But I can never imagine anyone not liking it here - it's so fun! 

Also, now that I'm in this thread, I plan to attention whore the hell out of it.  Get ready!

Stalking Avery is everyone's job.  It's the only thing that will feed her insatiable, serial-killer like need to be remembered.
