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
