Wik said:Ha. I already submitted. And we're seeing eye to eye here, too. Really, what I meant by "Flavour" ended up translating as "This is typically worn by people X, and those who do Y" and a quick description (10 words or so) what it looked like. Really, just a few lines of flavour.
Yeah, that kind of stuff is almost a given. I wouldn't even consider that to be fluff text. It's the people that are trying to include a detailed account of the creator's family lineage going back six generations that are having difficulty with the 200 words.

The thing that kills me are the people that are going over word count with the attitude of, "oh they won't care if I'm a few (dozen) words over." They're already rejecting entries for that very thing.
Good luck with your entry. I've written mine, but I'm going to let is stew for a while, just in case I want to change it before the due date.
