@Rabid: I know! The worst it I managed to get it okay but I misread it for 3000 characters and I toned it down for nothing... my awesome mini arc T_T!

Oh my god, yeah guys. I had to cut my story down from 4100 to 3500. THAT wasn't fun.

Me too! :( It was hard to cut out stuff while having the story still make sense.

Yes, and I felt I didn't do the tasks justice, too...

A little question, am I allowed to 'dandify' internet slang, such as "OMG" to, for example: "Oh dear lord." ?
OOH! That's an awesome idea to use this for NaNoWriMo!

Yes, Mr. Mayor!

Would you like a bit more leeway with the word limit?

This is supposed to be a challenge, but I don't want it to be impossible.

The new characters limit seems fine to me, Mr. Mayor!

Ooh yay, day 2 challenges! And thanks for increasing the word limit, I think that should be good for me!

Also a quick question: When you give us phrases like "OMG is that a llama?" do we have to actually write OMG or can we change it to "oh my god"?

I don't actually know, but as there's a character limit, wouldn't it be good to keep things as Mr. Mayor has set them?

Can someone explain it to me?
So what happens if someone starts late in the event or I don't have any access to the internet one of the days?

A question!

For the first day, one of the things is "Oh well, I've got another." Can we write it as if someone is taking? Like "Oh well," he said, "I've got another". Does that work?

and :gonk: NOOO! The character limit is AWFUL! :headdesk:

Whoo, just finished my day two entry at 3993 characters. /faints from having to edit down what it was originally

But I have the same question as Hadsvich: I posted the entry for day one earlier today, so do I have to wait until tomorrow until I can post my entry for day 2?

I'm sorry if this is just me being blind, but should 'bambozzle' from day 1 be 'bamboozle'?
Sorry, I'm just curious :sweat:

I'm pretty sure it is. XD Because bambozzle is not a word.

Also, I wish it didn't count spaces and only counted the actual characters! D:< This is killing me! :illgetu: It's not like you'll be reading the spaces! OTL

I'm so glad i actually know what OTL means now. Someone only explained it to me last menewsha event.

and Isn't it great that its 4000 characters now! that's a lot easier for me at least. Though I don't think I'll be able to write the second day until... Like... 2 pm. xD I'm so sleepy.
