Well, the suggested length is 500 words, or so. But that's more or a minimum than anything else. I may or may not have received one clocking it at 5,440 words... That is not a challenge. By any means. In any way, shape, or form.

Anyway.

Write what you need to write, and don't bulk it up unless it's less than 500 words.

Hmmm, Mine is already around 4,500 and I still have to do a rewrite on one scene. I contacted Staff about working in my "Strange Inheritence" (Yep, a human with a full 8 twist points and a Strange Inheritence. This is my card asking for Staff to have fun with my soul :lol: )

Ya..... I'm at 5,500 or so, and I'm only 3/4 done.

Granted, that's the first draft that has to receive the red pen of doom, and thus will be greatly slashed.

That's it. I'm adding ten more pages to my character history just to beat you.

But they'll all be lists of reasons why I love our Plot staff so much, because I'm a suck-up :D

I am aiming for 1500 words with a cover page detailing, in brief, key NPCs, plot hooks, and character goals.

Because I care.

Also, I am lazy and that is less than three hours of work.
