Woohhoo! Thanks!

When the time comes, you'll be assigned to two categories (maybe more
depending on how many counters we have). You'll then take the comments for
those categories and copy them one by one (omments only, nothing else) into
a program such as MS Word, that can give you a word count. In Word, when
you choose Format | Word Count, it also shows character count, with and
without white space. We'll take the without. Compare that with the point
chart in the FAQ and assign it the appropriate number of points.

Your counts will be verified by two other people and if they all match, the
count is recorded as official. That's that.

I use a Mac. Is the word counter in Appleworks acceptable? I can
handle several categories if you need me to.

I recommend that when you assign categories, you include the point
chart from the FAQ with the category list. That way the counter has
a copy available and does not have to pull it from the FAQ.

I checked the Appleworks application. It can do a character count.

Just got your message that says it does character count, so that's fine!

Oh, will do. It's still months away though so I havne't dug it up from the
FAQ yet. And if anyone is curious as to how I came up with the
characters-to-points conversion: I stole them straight from this year's
alt.startrek.creative awards.
