I am a dirty cheater.
Okay, no one cares about me, so let's forget about it.
The real problem is: total word count & average words.
Both statistics take into consideration everything written in the 'editor', even the author notes. Most of the time, that should not be a problem, the thing is... there are authors like me. My author notes are sometimes (
When I search something to read, I do check those statistics. For one, stories that have a lot of chapters but whose chapters are extremely small in length are, usually, not up to my taste. And the same can be said about stories with humongous chapters (usually +4000 words). That said, I always check the total word count and the average chapter length before starting to read, which may be a problem if other people like me and cannot hold their fingers back.
Therefore, I think it would be great if the Word Count was enhanced to not take in consideration the author notes, or announcements and etc. Which may or may not be possible, since I don't know shit about coding. There could also be a separated area to write the author notes (although I prefer it as it is) if it was too much of a pain to code that, or just not feasible.
TL;DR: Make it so author notes and announcements are not counted on the total word count and average words (chapter length).

even if just a bit.
