Does a screenshot of a different font on word count as a screenshot? Like:
Does this influence the word limit or screen cap limit?
I would say that it would count towards your word limit and not your screen cap limit since that picture doesn't have any elements from a sims game in it.

That's actually a very good question. Technically, if it's a picture, then it's a picture. I mean, what if I wanted to put some kind of blurb from a newspaper or a text message into a story. I wouldn't count that as my word limit. It's a jpg or a png (or whatever). Hmmmm....
I wonder what others will say. Or you may just have to find another way to do it for now until we get clarification.

Oh, well. Too late. It's published as a word limit, thanks to @Pegasus143

Finally, after the entire month of working on this, I'm done. I thought I'd never say it was so. lol I keep trying hoping I'll get better. It just takes me longer. Thanks to @Jes2G for reading through it and giving advice to me.
Okay. I've updated the entry list, so if you wrote a story this month double check that it got added to the list please. And by the way WOW we had another great month of participation!
Also you might notice I finally added that "Just for Fun" section I had mentioned once before. So if anyone who wrote stories in previous months that used that month's theme, but didn't follow the "official rules" or wasn't voted on for whatever reason send me a message with a link to that story and I'll add it to the appropriate list. I know @CitizenErased14 has one such story. I think @AuroraLockwood maybe did too. I can't remember any more than that, so let me know!
I completely agree with what @Pegasus143 said. There were only words in that images, so I'd just count it as such. I can understand doing that, because sometimes the font choices on our blogs are pretty limited.
I would honestly think that a newspaper type image could go either way. So I guess we'll take it on a case by case basis.
On the topic of superlatives. I still need to add the superlative links that @mastressalita put together to each months entry list. Thanks again for doing that.
I really just want the superlatives to be something to help spark a little conversation about each month's stories, so I'll leave it up to each individual exactly how they want to go about doing them. If you don't have time to do a full list that's fine with me.
Since I'm the one organizing this thread, when I do the superlatives I'll include something about each story written that month. I think that's only fair. But I haven't even had a chance to do them in months, but I PROMISE I didn't forget about them, I still love the idea and want us to continue doing them.
Which, funnily enough, is connected to my story for this month. So if I missed the cut-off time, they would be a matched set, lol!!
I caught this one too.
I'll add all the "for fun" entries tomorrow - and the superlative links. For now I'm going to crash immediately after posting the new theme in just a few more minutes.

Really enjoyed this story, it brought back some memories of some great songs, bands and my college years in the 90's too

I also wanted to add the entry I was late on for the "for fun" list! That would be:
Transformation (for November's contest of "Lost")
Which, funnily enough, is connected to my story for this month. So if I missed the cut-off time, they would be a matched set, lol!!
Nearly an entire hour to spare!
You are amazing!
