Blast from the Past

[jhameia]

Re-reading old emails and chat transcripts between myself and dmp for my essay for nisi_la and found this, which happened while we were working on our essay for Shira Tarrant, which had a wordcount limit of 5000 max:

Ay-leen: ha! After edits, the word count id now down to 6072

Jha: .....

Ay-leen: lol

Jha: wait whut
*6*072
?
are you sure not *5*072?

Ay-leen: ^-^;; no it is not
but is was 6200-ish last night
d'you think I should condense the examples in the intro more?

Jha: yes
i was thinking about the list of the "kinds" of steampunks people play
that could go
ay-leen! it was 5598 words when it left my hands!
what did you do???
:P

Ay-leen: lol oops ^-^
cutcutcut

Jha: lol XD

MUCH LATER

Ay-leen: lol
ah wait, I see why the word count was so off
Once I hide the markup, it drops dramamtically
now we're only at 5560 XD

me: aaahhhh
THANK GOD.
XD
