Fanfiction ► NaNoWriMo!

[giuocob]

Yeah, I know it's not November for over a month, but I wanted to get the discussion started now, because I'm hoping some people who weren't going to do it might change their minds. Besides, I'm already struggling with the idea of what plot I'm going to use.

So, who's going to participate in this insane rush to 50k words in 30 days? Hopefully I'll be able to do it, though I expect to pump out more crap than I ever have before in my life.

(For those of you who don't know what NaNoWriMo is, look at National Novel Writing Month - National Novel Writing Month)

 

[snowdog]

Oh, squee! =D

If I wasn't so busy with school, I so would have tried this... ;.;

<3

...It would take you an entire month to write out 50kb of writing? I could do that in less than a day, as long as I had an idea to write on.

Is there a specific thing to write about? I might do it if I have the time to.

 

[giuocob]

Not 50kb...50k words. As in, 50 thousand. (If that was sarcastically poking fun at my vagueness, sorry, I missed it.) And you can write about whatever you want to...just do EVERYTHING in November.

 

[Informal Gluttony]

man... that really sounds insane. Like, impossible. Good luck!

 

[giuocob]

^Thanks!

Aw, come on, nobody else is going to join the 80 thousand authors expected to participate in the Writer's Marathon this year? There's got to be someone around here...

 

[I]

Oh, fifty thousand words... That's a lot. Yeah, I agree with you now, fifty thousand words might take about a month - I could do about seven thousand in about a day or so, but that's no where near fifty thousand ;.;

 

[Lectori Salutem]

I didnt even know that existed!

Sure, I'll try it!!!
Though I think I'd better do it in my own language (not english), might be a little easier...

[Jopari]

I'm so joining this. Mindless writing is my specialty, if anyone can tell. XP

My account name is Sanctus. I'll enjoy this.

 

[Lectori Salutem]

I'm Lectori Salutem (I'm so original....)

I think it will be fun, I don't think I can write that much though....

 

[Nelo Angelo]

hmmm....fifty thousand.............lets see........

 

[Jopari]

Yeah, I'll have to pull a couple long nights to finish it on time. But fifty thousand is reachable as long as I can resist the urge to keep changing things I've already written.

I would love to do this, but I doubt I could come up with a good plot and rush through it so quickly, ARG! Writer's block!

Seriously though, I've been wanting to write an original Fic for a long time bt there are several problems.

- can't come up with a good, original plot.

- I'm woefully irresponsible, and rarely do I stick to things like a full-length fiction. I usually start...then after a few chapters I get lazy...

- 50 K words in a month? Maybe I could do it, but like I said I suck at commitment.

Basically my biggest obstacle is having a good plot y'know? something good to write about, a cool story. I believe if I had a good plot I'd probably commit to it.

 

[Lectori Salutem]

Hehe, the motto of NaNoWriMo is 'No plot, no problem!' so I'm sure you can join!

 

[darkisaac]

Actually, and ironically, my lack of ideas has given me an idea...

I know crazy huh?

I won't say anymore 'cause if I decide to make a Fic out of it, then I'd be giving away the plot...

 

[Informal Gluttony]

Hey, giuocob, I'm thinking about this, but, I might and I might not.

...
Who are those people in your sig? I think I know one of them...

 

[Lectori Salutem]

Yep, kind of crazy, darkisaac!

Tell me when you post it (if you post it here), I'll read it!

 

[giuocob]

Those are the well-known Crazy Frog Brothers, who dance crazily to the Crazy Frog theme. Search for it on YouTube, it'll surely come up.

 

[giuocob]

Alright, ten days left! Everybody who's doing it ready?
