Disclaimer/author's note length limit?

[tehuti88]

I wish to be refreshed on the rule on how long a disclaimer/intro/author's note is allowed on fics in the archive...? I know there was a certain word count or something allowed, and if a user's intro/disclaimer/author note went over that, they were advised to post the intro/note to the forum and link from there. I can't find this rule now and I can't remember the limit so would appreciate being reminded of it.

(I figured this didn't belong in the Disclaimers section as I'm not reporting on anything nor have I been reported.)

600 words PER CHAPTER for an author's note. The actual disclaimer, if done within an AN does not count towards the words of an AN.

For example, you have a disclaimer like so in the chapter:

I don't own HP nor make any money from it.

Then you have an author's note of 600 words. The words in the disclaimer above are NOT tallied in with the AN itself. Neither are additional tags which don't fit within the field for the summary.

Thank you very much. (This is what happens when I'm away from the site for so long, I forget the rules! )
