Awesome, ill find a good orcish story teller to add one that you will probably need translated.
Re: Creative Writing Competition. (5 sliver in Prizes )
Any idea how many pages a book will hold? I've got a ton of uo fiction, but it's probably too long, lol
Re: Creative Writing Competition. (5 sliver in Prizes )
UO books are 20 pages, I believe. And if I had to guess from memory, like 10 lines per page and maybe 20 characters per line? This is a blind guess though as my last UO book was when I did the auction.Adunaphel wrote:Any idea how many pages a book will hold? I've got a ton of uo fiction, but it's probably too long, lol
20x10 = 200 chars per page...x 20, 4000 characters.

Aw, shoot!
Since I was the one who suggested this in IRC, I decided to put my words where my mouth is and I wrote up two stories for this competition...didn't read closely enough that it has to be in an in-game book! I think at least the longer one will be too long for an in-game book. Time to type up the shorter one and find out I guess.
Edit: even the much shorter one is 4,500 characters with spaces. That will not fit then, it sounds like. Hmmm....
Damn 4,000 characters is little space to tell a story....that's probably not even counting whole lines of character lost due to paragraph indents....with that, a book has maybe 2,500 characters for an entry....
Breadman, are you should we can't turn in two books, Volumes I and II for an entry and for the library?
