NaNo Redux, 2009 edition

Okay, so in 2005 I did something called NaNo redux. It spawned the monster known as the Bleach triad AU. I did it again in 2006, but alas, I did not manage to duplicate my success ( Read more... )

If NaNo doesn't kill me first, I might jump in.

Might be in for the January one, but right now, 36,000 words into NaNo, 50K seems Huge and Impossible so we'll see. Maybe it'd be better scattered over a bunch of different projects.

Here via lilacfield, hi!

I would probably do #2 or #3. I did Nano last year, but this November has been too busy.

Hello! :)

I arrived here browsing through LJ. I hope you don't mind I butt in. ^^U

I like the idea a lot, but I'd like to ask something first. I'm Spanish and I write in both languages, English and my mother tongue. Would both kind of fics do for the counting? Or just the ones written in English? I ask because in December and the fist week of January I give fics as gifts for Secret Santa and for my on-line friends and most of them, if not all, are in Spanish.

Thank you for doing something like this for fic-writers! :D

Best wishes.

Eh, I don't really care either way, to be honest. I feel like nano is just about quantity, so as long as you're hitting your target marks, it doesn't matter.

Tho' if you want to adjust any of the totals, feel free. As you can tell, I'm a pretty lax person about this sort of thing. XD

Thank you! ^^ Then, I think I'll give it a try. It's the first time I get myself into something like this. I'll do #3, I prefer having two months in case my muse decides to go somewhere else for a while.

How do we do the counting and such? Do we post it in our own LJs?

Also, do you mind if I spread the word? :)

Counting is done by whichever way you like. I just use word/open office to do it.

I actually posted my previous NaNo in my lj, but to be honest, no one is obligated to if they're feeling tetchy about sharing their stuff with the world. This is really about making yourself write and no one else can force you.

And please, spread the word!
