NanoWrimo

Hypothesis: NanoWrimo + RL + FH = Insanity.

I know I'm not the only one trying to proove that that's actually a theory. So who else is with me here? Anyone else jumping in with no plot, no characters, and no idea?

I'm Lady Aly on the forums over there, by the way.

Wait, you mean we're not already all insane?

I'm havocthecat over on the NaNo forums.

Oh, that! Well, yes, then I think you're absolutely correct!

I predict copious amounts of alcohol and caffeine (either or both) on everyone's parts by the end of the month.

Aly: *frowns at you for taking her name*

This does not seem to matter to her, no. I'm anomilygrace over there like elsewhere. Though I'm not sure I'm playing this year.

I have plot, characters and ideas, but I'll go along with the insanity.

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2006-11-02 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
I cheated; I'm doing SPN fic. The characters came prenamed ;) Not that it seems to be helping much so far. *looks at measly 740 wordcount for day one*

ChristinaMarina, and yup. *facepalms at self at 1300 words*

I'm waffling. I have a character, but no plot, and a word count currently of 0.

[identity profile] ranma-sao.livejournal.com 2006-11-02 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
ChibiSilverWings would be me. And I'm actually on schedule! I have to say to myself "Way to sound like a douche bag, me.." I'm just excited because I know I'll fail miserablely soon. Very very soon.

[identity profile] ranma-sao.livejournal.com 2006-11-02 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Hahah. Gotta love how like... 10 people from Fandom are doing it. I'm so not surprised. heeee.

We were supposed to have characters and plot? *flails*

[identity profile] lovechildblair.livejournal.com 2006-11-02 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I'm hoping for as well. Today was not much with the sense making. About half of my word count ended up being slashy UST between a parka and a football uniform.

Yeah, I can't really explain it myself.

...and this is how we know you are on the good crack.

*makes lots of blinky surprised looks*

No, I don't think I could ask you to explain it. It's kinda nutty. But cool. *nods in fake understanding*

(I've been up three and a half hours and I'm not awake yet. So I'm making no sense as a matter of course.)

woot!
So far, i'm lovin' my total of 693. WOOOOO!
I'm spent. See y'all next year.

I'm writing fanfic, so the characters already exist. As for a plot? I'm still poking at that. ;) I'm ktnb at the forums.

It's not a hypothesis, it's a FACT.

I'm not at the NaNo forums because I didn't decide until this morning that I was doing it. I'm already cursing whatever perverse part of my brain decided part of my story would be set in Peru. I know NOTHING about Peru.

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2006-11-02 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
the scene I'm currently writing is sorta set in 'Nam. Which yeah, I have done some research on, but that was nineteen years ago. I'd prefer a fantasy setting where winging it doesn't mean I have to worry about someone eventually pointing out that I got something basic dead wrong.
swerval_zero: (*facepalm*)

[personal profile] swerval_zero 2006-11-02 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Luckily, my 'verse is sorta urban fantasy-y, so I can bluff the culture and history a little. But I'm sure I'm going to screw up basic geography or something.

[personal profile] janet_fraiser 2006-11-02 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh. Are you posting this anywhere? Because I would so love to read it.
swerval_zero: (punk monky)

[personal profile] swerval_zero 2006-11-02 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but you can make that shit up! Peru actually, like, exists, and people live there and there's geography and stuff!

I had characters and sort of the threads of a plot, because this is a universe I've played in before. But I'm fully making it up as I go along.

I'm also insane. :) Have plot, have characters... have no focus. :)

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-11-02 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
I have decided to sit back and *watch* the insanity this year after three attempts and fails.

However, if anyone is interested, I'll be posting a daily writing prompt on my journal through November - [livejournal.com profile] ladybug218 :)

[identity profile] dude-its-jude.livejournal.com 2006-11-02 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Three days ago I had no plot and no characters, only a title: Must Love Ninjas.

This'll be interesting.

Oh, I'm also the co-ML for Pictou-Antigonish. My roommate is the other ML. Our door has a big sign on it saying "Beatings will continue until wordcount improves".

I kind of cheated, maybe, in that I'm writing something I outlined years and years ago (seriously, back in like January of 2000), but I'm finding I just found the drive to actually write it. Apparently it's working for me, as I'm up to 3200 words.

I'm trickster over there, btw.

[identity profile] heterodine.livejournal.com 2006-11-02 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
am at 1700 words... whee

[identity profile] alchemic-bean.livejournal.com 2006-11-05 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I have characters, a plot that got abandoned on Day 1 and absolutely no idea where I'm going with this. But there are copious amounts of Nazis to shoot at, so at least I'm entertaining myself?
