Rules for something like this are more of a recommendation. I’ve seen some people go way over 50 words while others have broken down long stories into 50-word chunks. The fun thing about this is it does not take a lot of time to do and the person running it has changed a couple of times. With changes of the guard so has flavor and the kinds of people who do this as well. It is amazing to have watch it change over time.

I’ve been doing these off and on for well over a year. Most of them I’ve made into gaming ones. Sometimes I’ll go week or a month without one. Other times I just felt like “hey this make a great 50 words story.” Thankfully my first one is buried deep and lost into the void. It was so bad!
