And the winning topic is: Point of view of a Castlevania lackey/boss (not Dracula)

I need you guys to agree on the word count and other rules.
Word count: 3500 to 6000
Language: English
Basic guidelines:
The story is more important than grammar, formatting, etc. But please try your best to make things readable and understandable aka proofread them or let someone help you with that.

Anything else?

Post it on the official contest forum post (will make it when no further questions remain)
So far, I was able to use 2000 words for a part of the Ricordanza translation and I think a post is capable of more words.
If it can't, then use two consecutive posts.

As for the formatting, use whatever the forum can provide.

Jorge increased the maximum character count to 10,000 a while back for that DAW info thread I made(or maybe it was 100,000, one of the two). Unless that's been backfilled to 2000 or something small, it should still be that large amount.

Most likely it still is at that large amount.

Any more questions?
