: Re: Is there any hope of a fictional short story being published? I mean under 100k, probably less than 50k because it's a short story. Actually, I'm not sure how many words a short story has

If "100k" and "50k" are word-counts (and in this context, that's certainly what I'd expect), that's "novella" (for ~50k words) up to "novel-length" (at 100k words).

According to FictionFactor's word-count page, a "short story" is typically between 1000 and 7500 words, "novel" spans the 50k to 110k word span and novellas clock in at the 20k to 50k word mark.

As to finding a market for your story, see justkt's excellent answer.
