November is the maddest month

nanoflail - for fan writers attempting NaNo this year, whether writing fan or original novels. Discussion topic today: what are you trying to get done before NaNo? [I am desperately trying to clean the decks in so many respects, my my.]

And if you're not doing NaNo, but still want to participate in the general air of frenetic writing? There are also the marvellous wrisomifu (for trying to write just about anything) and mini_nanowrimo (for committing yourself to writing at least 100 words of fiction per day).

So, I've been really good about not signing up for exchanges, on account of aforementioned NaNo. However, I am thinking that Yuletide's deadline of December 19th means it is feasible in a post-NaNo world, yes? Fandom nominations going on right now for those planning on participating. What to pick, what to pick?

(It occurs to me I need to get some new writing icons. Writing a 50,000 word novel with a quill would be horrendous.)

Oooh, I'm really tempted by mini_nanowrimo. Really tempted.

Oooh! nanoflail look like just the kind of community I was looking for.

I'm doing NaNo, for the first time. Are you registered on the NaNo website? I'm Misty over there.

Go, you!

Also, Small Gifts not due till December 8! *hinthint* M.

I have written with a quill, sort of. But in large letters, and only short phrases. :p (I wonder if anybody does NaNo at Hogwarts? Maybe they bring pens from home or something.)

Excellent community findage!!

mini_nanowrimo sounds cool. Something to think about. :)
Thanks for sharing!

Is the picowrimo community still active? They aim for 5,000 words instead of 50,000.

*is so easy for holiday exchanges* :D

What small fandoms do I even like? My mind is blank! I mean, HDM is a given Yuletide classic, but err, apart from that? I do not know!

[such_heights]

Remus/Sirius, Christmas, 'small' right there in the title? :D That's basically a given, I can't wait.

[such_heights]

My first also, hurray! And yup, over on the site as such_heights as well.

Ooh, shiny! I think I had a quill once, and yeah, fun in small bursts.

... Hahaha, and now I'm imagining Hermione doing NaNo in her year of epic multi-tasking!

[such_heights]

Ooh, that's a new one on me, I don't know. Good idea, though!

Augh, OMG, Amy! *has signed up for mini NaNo*

It's karma. I post about interesting fests, and it comes back to bite me. *sigh*

[such_heights]

:D I approve!
