I'm not sure how useful this would be to others, but this is a minor problem/inconvenience I've run across quite a few times.
I tend to be a massive info-dumper. Quite a few of my characters have either massive amounts of lore, or several short stories. A few even have novellas or full length novels (thanks nanowrimo)
I was wondering if we could have a larger word count limit on text boxes, and the ability to use more widgets on a single page? Every nano I write backstory stuff for whatever character I am most into at that time, and it can be hard to get my thunder-spam of writing all onto one page.
I would be totally cool with this being an Epic-only perk as well.

Hello!
I remember reading something similar to your suggestion! I remember that something was said about the limitations being in place for certain areas (like text/info on rprs and I think extending to dms) because after a certain limit, the information gets cut off and lost! So even if it was lifted for larger character limit, you may be at risk of losing your information!
I'm sure someone who knows better than me (or Kim herself) will respond though with a better explanation! c:

Yeah it was something about data not being safe beyond 65,000 characters, I remember Kim explaining it quite recently but can't find the thread anywhere. Its removal from the forums might have been premature, but while I was busy not finding it I stumbled across this:

Are there limits on how much text I can write?
Yes, but it's very, very hard to hit them. For example, let's look at profile text widgets: the limit there is 65,000 characters. Note that this is a count of letters, numbers, spaces and punctuation, not of words -- this is important, because "a" is a word but so is "honorificabilitudinitatibus"!
There's a limit of 10 widgets per profile page, so if you made all 10 of them text widgets, that would be 650,000 characters per profile page, or 150,000 more than are in the average 250-page book intended for consumption by adults.
Or, looked at another way, enough text to crash most browsers!

Ah! Okay that makes sense! I can still get a normal length nano novel (50k wordcount) onto a character page, I've done it before, just have to spread it across a bunch of boxes and sometimes it's a bit awkward finding the right spot to separate it out.
