Wow. You can't get across an understanding of a character in 1k words, and you think a handful of grammar mistakes in an otherwise perfectly viable app that proves someone can play the character is reason to waste the apper and mods' time with an unnecessary "fix all your grammar mistakes and resubmit" step, when both parties know that if that's the only problem, they're clearly going to be accepted? Instead of calling someone else lazy for not reading an extensive essay and taking a red pen to comma misuse in a non-educational forum, you should consider that it is actually a hell of a skill to be able to edit your freakin' writing. A well-edited short piece can express way more understanding than a bunch of ridiculous unnecessary filler, and word count is not proportional to understanding or ability, whatsoever. 5k words is not necessary to demonstrate ability to play. That's a short story. And I personally have never been interested in writing a thesis to get into an RP.

If you don't think RPs that demand 5k are ridiculous, because it's a challenge, then you shouldn't think an RP that demands 1k is ridiculous. Because it's a challenge.
