Also, my current entry uses it to designate mind-mind communication between characters as well as inner thoughts, though I suppose I could find a way to change it >.>

I don't see how italics would interfere with anything or have a negative effect on the entry(ies), and I think it would help in some cases, including my current entry, with understanding. I don't see how any harm could come from the use of it, unless it is overused--which I don't think it would be in most entries and is not in mine, considering both the shortness and the fact that it is interspersed throughout the entry.

Personally, I think it makes sense. If you think otherwise, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts and reasoning.

We probably shouldn't shuffle the restrictions/word count around, but I do like the idea of mixing it up here and there. We may have special themes with surprises every so often.
I had mentioned this a page back, but with a different proposal arising I forgot to consider it again. I don't see much trouble with allowing it, so I'll change that.
