First of all, I want to thank everyone for playing! Many, many people decided to go high with their guesses, while the actual number was on the lower side of the scale. The actual number of words that were in the archive as of December 1st, 2021 was: 215,474,422

Congratulations to EmrinAlex for the closest guess with 219,839,450! EmrinAlex, you've won a gift certificate of your choice worth $50.

Again, thanks to everyone for playing, and thank you for being part of SquidgeWorld Archive!

aka "Walter screwed something up a year ago and just realized it this week."

So back in The WWOMB days, we had series. Series were a group of stories that told a story - you know, where you group all the stories about a particular storyline into one cohesive thread of fics? Well they exists over on The WWOMB (at this link) but I never imported the series over here on SquidgeWorld.

So that's been fixed.

On each author's profile that has a series they've created on The WWOMB, there's a "Series" link on the left hand side of their authorpage that now has a number next to it. If you click on the "Series" link in their profile page, it'll take you to the series that the author created either since they've been on SquidgeWorld Archive, or as imported today from The WWOMB.

Questions? Let me know!
