You might remember that I participated and won this last year (I haven't finished that story btw, but still intend to), and got a shiny icon for my trouble. This year I'm hoping to do the same, but I have an exam on the 5th of November that I need to prepare for, and things are just generally more work this year. I'm still hopeful, though. Anyway, I have several plot ideas lying around in my "Writing" folder but nothing I really am very enthusiastic about. Does anyone have -any- suggestions? They can be as wild as you like, although the less wild ones are going to be the most helpful, probably. Also, if anyone else is thinking of doing NaNo this year, have you got any sort of plot sorted out yet? |

I have one distinct idea floating around in my head. I might do this this year. |

I wanna enter NaNo this year but I've got so much stuff to do I'm not sure if I'll find the time to write. But I do have a couple random ideas floating around. |

Too Many Words

Mecha Fusion Fic is my choice for this year.  Am I going to 'win' this year? Hells no, but I should be able to to better than last year's pathetic 4k words (which, funnily enough, was the first chapter of Ryzing Down (albeit a much worse version). |

Update: I have an idea which I am considering. But I'd rather do something more original, so at the moment it's only very tentative. I doubt I'm going to win this year. I don't have an exam in November . . . I have two. But I'll try my hardest, anyway.  I'm a little sad that there aren't more people thinking about this. It's really fun.

Considering the speed at which some fics update, there's probably not that many people willing or able to devote the time needed to a project like this. Ofcourse, there's also people like me who cant write worth a damn

yay for conformity!

I might do this and write about my time here on the ranch. It's pretty much 2000 words per day. I think I can manage it if I get enough material.

It's 1667 words per day, although to lessen the feeling of depression I prefer to put in "5-day word count goals". Scratch my previous post. I have an idea! It badly needs fleshing out (I don't even know the MC's name yet . . .) but I think it could work.

I've failed to come up with something witty, so I hope you will enjoy this filler text instead.

You should write about a mad scientist who travels back in time with a load of high-tech weapons and plans to take over the world and reshape history as he sees fit. |

Too Many Words

I need to figure out how to take "People kill each other and everyone dies!" and stretch it out to 50k words. |

There are plenty of ways of doing that.  Not least religious description or surroundings and going off on rarely-applicable tangents.

Fifty thousand words? That's a pretty pithy amount by my standards. I think the whole challenge comes in making an open-and-close novel-length story in one month. |
