Campfire Suggestion: Character Count
I've been involved in a number of campfires over the years, and I love adding to them, but I've been having a problem - Character Count.

You see, when someone puts a Limit for the number of letters, numbers, punctuation, exctera, there isn't a box, or whatever, like in interactives and reviews that says "Character Number = X", which can be a pain when, after you make a few paragraphs, you find out that you went over the person's Character Limit by 500 characters, meaning that there's going to be some parts cut out.

Having a Character Count would help a person to know - "I've used X amount of Characters. He only allows Y amount of Characters. I have Z amount of Characters left." This way, it keeps the person from going over Limits, and prevents the need to cut up a person's writing.

Just a suggestion of course.
