21th Contest: It's my Job [Ended]

[Starwarskid]

Some questions, since I love playing with rules:

For example (NOT MY ENTRIES!!!):

1) To hit 800 characters, how are "characters" counted? If I count the length of this string, it is 89 characters.
If I define a "character" as an actual letter, minus punctuation, filler space, and newlines, it will be less.

Slayers!   W-T-F are they!!

horrors from   __outer_space__ !?        ?


Don't ask me...

2) Can you split a charm name by punctuation?

As I slew my opponent, I felt a sense of RELEASE. KARMA is a bitch, yo!

I'm pretty sure a character is everything that isn't a space or line break.  My submission is 800 based on what Word tells me, though I did also have it count each paragraph and I added the figures up myself just to be sure (Word can be dodgy sometimes).

[Qiva]

Awesome competition Lez and Nip!

And that's quite a gauntlet Merton has thrown down with the first entry hehe

yea well, not all of us use word. My text editior counts by actual characters.

There was a question about if you use the same Charm name twice does it count as 2 for the bonus rule or 1.

I use purity twice (in the same sentence). If that counts as 2, I'll need to alter my submission.  I just figured it was still TEN charm names.

Wait... does winner #5 get 75 feathers?

Here's where I pretend not to know Gabbin.

It sounds fair to me!
Everyone trying to make something cool, but not the most awesome thing so they can enter in 5th place.

Love your submission Fenrir, it's awesome!

1) To hit 800 characters, how are "characters" counted?

Anything that's not a space or a line break.
However, use the "W___T___F" at your own risk, since there are many points for style.

2) Can you split a charm name by punctuation?

Nope, it does not work.

There was a question about if you use the same Charm name twice does it count as 2 for the bonus rule or 1.

Charm names count only once. If you use "purity" twice, it counts as only one name.
