Oops, found a typo post submission

[The Chatty DM]

While re-reading my submission after posting it, I found a typo that muddles part of the item's description.

I'd like to know if this would be grounds for instant rejection (which I would respect, I just had to re-re-re-read myself) or are submission granted a small editorial lee-way when a typo creeps in?

Thanks for the response.

Oh and Wolfgang, I think some of that flavour has started sticking to my style :)

A typo I might be able to grin and bear. But not much, frankly. We expect submissions to be like manuscripts. But a typo, for me, is not an automatic reject. Missing words, no capitalization at the start of sentences, etc., that gets an auto-vote for rejection from me. I won't speak for my fellow judges. Just letting you know how I feel.

This is RPG Superstar. And you only had 200 words or less. The justification for a typo is pretty darn small. Just my view on it.

Fair enough Clark, you are entirely right.

Especially if you need to go into the nitty-gritty to differentiate the top 32.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Hey don't feel too bad, Jag Dell, I submitted an entry that omitted a line that causes a quirky utility item to become more of a PC money mill. They'll take one look at it a go...'Oh dear, no.'

lol

Guess I'll catch the next one.

It doesn't involve summoning lantern archons to build continual flame items, does it?

Because that one's an absolute pearler!

Thank goodness; I normally pride myself on my spelling, and I'm constantly astounded by the gibberish I have to read in official notes at work.

I spell-checked my item before submitting it (allowing for obvious proper nouns and game-speak); but I forgot to re-set the spell-checker to US English (doh!).

I'd hate to be thrown out for spelling 'rumour' with a 'u'.
Rejected for spelling correctly! That would be a total bummer!

Isn't that "bummour?" (Or is it "bummre?")

Heh - why do you think every floor of my characters temple is filled with Continual Flame Torches? I figured that if each time you summoned a different one they wouldn't mind doing a few at a time...
