I see you've raised the maximum wordcount, but... well, a story with only 500 words simply cannot be referred to as a novel. Most short stories have more than a thousand words. A minimum of 500 words isn't even close to novel length.

As Finn said, most users here don't have the time to write full-length novels. Maybe this should be a short story anthology instead...?
