Oh gosh, long post is long. <3 I never thought NaNo was possible, but with so many people I knew doing it and writing everyday and making huuuge progress (like you!), I was really motivated to write. I did have to spend a lot of my waking moments writing though, haha. XD
Congrats again on finishing! With 59k too!!
You sure did a lot of planning. *____* And it shows! Others with jobs would have been interesting too. Sounds like a fairly different story though. Yay for Noblesse and 1/2 Prince influences. Noblesse is really good at subverting expectations. It makes me grin a lot (and I sure grinned a lot here too).
70 pages of world building, goodness. XD; And more than that! Craziness! But so impressive! I have maybe one page of... names. No planning at aaall (and it shows, haha).
... You make me realize I need to catch up on Detective Conan. Woohoo!
The start of my NaNo is riddled with typos and errors because I thought having those were like a badge of honour in your text, going 'look! I'm doing Nano! See my mistakes!' *
( ... )
• I didn't realise I loved animalistic/instinctual characters so much. I knew I loved watching them and squeeing over them, but writing them? I don't think I'd explored that in so much depth before. Marland's ears! Eeeeeee. I love them. :D
*laughs about the Others* It's a nice name. Makes sense. But I did giggle with another other and other others came into play.
• Geckos! Like the signs of when they're about to shed their skin and problem areas. … Noooo, I wasn't thinking about having Marland shed. *innocent eyes* What, Marland shedding?? XD
• Following the not-plot. Some parts got moved around, but it's still essentially the same thing. Awesomeness. *__* I'm even more excited to see what comes after. :D
• Not giving away spoilers, like about the picture of Shodin and Saisha I drew. XDD; Since she was with Shodin, I completely thought she was from "another" world. =P And I thought she'd still be alive. =/
• Conversations. Especially after I'd had the characters say the important bits and I needed to get rid of them so that
( ... )
Yeah, the name made sense, and I felt pleased about that, but arrrrgh, making up a name the next time!
Yes, Marland shedding! I was going/want to have a scene like this: Shodin: Um, Marland...? Marland: What. Shodin: You're... a little bluer than you were before? Marland: *Peers at arm* Dammit, that time of the month already? *goes off to the toilet* Shodin: ... Shodin: Wait. I know this. Why does that sound familiar
( ... )
*laughs at the scene* That would have been hilarious to see. XD
And you're all caught up with Tegami Bachi. Even farther than me!
You made some sort of sense... still, fights and conversations are both hard. =P Fights are more visual though, and I can sometimes visualize it, which means it all comes down to if I can put what I'm visualizing into words. I guess in that sense, sometimes fights are easier to write than conversations for me, since conversations are more than just visualizing their reactions and body posture and all that... I sometimes how no idea what they want to say or if they're saying enough to understand what's going on. XD
Nope, not with the anime yet. Just finished the fifth episode and that's where things start branching away from the manga (unless that comes up later. Or I missed something.)
X3 Yup, they're still hard. I guess I'm a more visual person then, than a auditory one? ^ ^;;
@___@ I did. I didn't realise until I counted up the pages. I'm... kinda wondering if my 'making of' post will end up breaking the post limit... But I guess I won't find out until I actually do it. :3
Others with jobs would have then meant that Marland could have possibly been something other than a hunter, which means this could have been completely different. Not to mention, Marland would have been different, because the Others would have been slightly more accepted then, and he wouldn't feel that being a hunter was the only thing he could do/was good at
( ... )
Have you had anything break the post limit before? XD; What is the post limit? I haven't had a oneshot or chapter of mine (or a rambly post) break the post limit yet. XD
Hm yeah, Marland would have been different! That's pretty fascinating to think about.
I don't think I've watched movie 14 yet either! *flails*
Haha, you are good that you were able to finish your word count so early in the day. I mostly did my words before midnight, haha. XD And then I read over what I scrambled together the next day and added in more description then
( ... )
No, I haven't either, but I think it's 10k. *looks it up* 65k characters. So I could fit around about 12k probably, but I'll either break it up or link to my dreamwidth journal if I do end up breaking it. XDD
X3 It iiis.
After realising that, I watched it. ♥~ Eeeeeee!
Yup. I guess I find it a lot easier to visualise fights, where dialogue is dialogue and I seem to have blank faces (literally - no eyes or anything!) in my imagination when I'm writing them sometimes if I don't really focus on them.
Does Dreamwidth have a post limit? Dreamwidth's so nice and shiny~
What! That was fast! XD; (Though December seems to be passing very quickly for me, even quicker than November, and I don't feel like I've done anything!) I need my Detective Conan fix. XD
The two new parts had a great mix of dialogue and action. *___* Some very squee-worthy conversations!! And very... bloody action. XD;
I know it can at least handle over 30k of words. :3 *goes to check*
"The post limit has been increased to 300,000 characters (including spaces) and the comment limit has been increased to 16,000 characters (including spaces)." O_______O That's just over 50k you can fit in one post. And just below 3k words in comments. Wow.
XDD
I think that had been what I'd mostly been thinking about before I started writing it that there was going to be not much happening at the start, and then all this action explodes out of nowhere near the end. XDD :DD Yeeeeah, big bloody. XD;;
I just realised that my novel's in three parts: Marland and Shodin meet, getting to know each other, Balt then comes along and shakes things up, and then there's the final part, where... stuff happens. XDD I hadn't realised that until I actually tried to get somewhere where I could stop at a comfortable place, and that was kinda perfect.
Wow, that is A LOT. And most of my fics would be able to fit in the comments then. In one comment. XDDD
It is a lot more action compared to the beginning. XD; But hey, climax, right? Unless there's a whole lot more action lurking. Are we at the end of the second part then, or are we in the third part? XD
So, reading the books I've just got, I think I've placed the acts wrong. It's Marland and Shodin meet (act I), Marland allows Shodin to wander the flat unsupervised and what comes after with Balt (act II), and I've just ended the 32nd part at the end of act II. :3
There's some more action coming~ Not very soon, but soon enough.

Yup, starting to head towards the climax.
