NaNoWriMo poll

[whiskyinmind]

I'm working on finalising the Sweet Charity 'products' this week, along with getting the sites relaunched (was aiming for the 15th but my FTP client's still being pissy with me so it'll be the 20th now), and clearing out the junk bunnies in my head (which are all listed on my fic notebook and will be written as one shots this week to get them gone)... and, planning for NaNoWriMo.

So, feel like helping me plan?

[Poll #1072167]

I have the icon meme thing to post (charlies_dragon picked icons and asked for explanations) and... kitty_cat89 and smeckles90, if you happen to be around in the library today, come see me. I have something sooper sekrit for you guys.

I think you should write what you think you're best motivated and have sufficient ideas for the word count for, you know? Therefore I'm rebelling against the poll until I've actually spoken to you about it...

*grins*

open rebellion against a poll? Whoddathunkit?

I may feel the need to take some ideas drinking soon, would you be up for it?

[wenchpixie]

I am just that much of an anarchist.

Always, yes, absolutely :).

(and I'm betaing now, I fell asleep at about half 8 last night after trudging back from the post office, so I didn't get it done, sorry)

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Yuh-huh, you were just so happy to get the boys out of purgatory (aka the post office) that you forgot all about everything else...

(I'm joking, of course!)

[wenchpixie]

Well yes, Sam kept bitching about how long I'd taken to rescue them...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Awww... poor puppy was feeling all abandonded...

I may have more things for betaing this week. Of about the same rating as the one you have, but different fandom(s). (And no, I haven't forgotten about TtPtR, I promise!)

[wenchpixie]

You are a veritable writing machine this week :D - and excellent, as long as they're in fandoms I know I'm on them :D.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, you know these fandoms...

*grins*

I dunno what it is, I just hope I'm not burning out before NaNo starts to be honest! (the Jo fic was what... 3000, the one you have is over 2000, both of those were written in one day, and the others all seem to have a feel for a similar length if not longer. I guess it's the reverse effect of all the drabbling I've been doing lately!)

[wenchpixie]

excellent :) *waits patiently for Pinata fic*

Hrm - I reckon it's your subconcious going "ahrg! nano's LOTS of words and I've been pushing them out in batches of 100. Better ramp up production a bit"

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Dude! How did you know?! So what do you think, Monica's been possessed by some of the evil thingies that escaped the pinata and now Kyle's going to have to find some way to save her but get the evilness out of her before she turns to clay

Think I can make it work?

*grins*

You might be onto something there actually, hmmm. Knew I kept you around for something.

[wenchpixie]

before she turns into clay

Just think of the drama. I mean, you could totally be writing the sequel.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

*whispers* couldn't be worse than the original...

Hee!

Some Kind of Delicious Biscuit.

'nuff said.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Like the Penguin I just had?

Yum.

I think I clicked the "Crossover - I'll explain in a comment" boxy thing so here goes. If you end up writing fanfiction, pick whichever fandom you feel the most comfortable writing, if it happens to be a crossover, all the more fun :) Also, I couldn't chose between Buffy and Supernatural *g*

On a related note, you've got a NaNoWriMo journal??? How d'ya get that? Or is it a LJ just for NaNo?? *is slow and confused*

Whatever you end up doing, good luck with it :D

I have a crossover bunny which promises to be kinda epic nipping at my heels right now, so if I do end up going with fanfic, it will probably be a crossover (SPN/AtS/BtVS... *grins*)

The NaNo journal is a journal I have here on LJ for NaNoWriMo - sorry, didn't mean to confuse you!

[charlies_dragon]

As I couldn't choose between Buffy and Supernatural, I'mm cheerleading for the epic-sounding crossover :D

Don't worry about confusing me, it's extremely easy to do at the best of times, and at the moment I'm so very nearly asleep it's not even funny any more! If you do use the other journal for your NaNo writing, what is it so I can friend it (if that's ok?)? I'd like to keep track of fellow NaNo participants so I don't feel so alone!

marajaded_nano is where it's at. And absolutely! That's half the fun of doing NaNo, knowing that there are other people out there going through exactly the same things as you.

I'll be doing the epic fic anyway, whether it ends up being my NaNo project or not - so yay!

[charlies_dragon]

I've just friended your NaNo journal, so when I'm not trying to write the 1,600 odd words a day minimum to get to the final 50,000, I'll be cheerleading you :D

I was just wondering, if you had a few moments to spare before November descends on us, if you could check out this post on my LJ and give me a prompt or two for my NaNo (more explanation near the end of this post)?

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

I am impressed that you are doing NaNo!

I had a lot of fun doing it last year, maybe this time I can actually share the end product instead of being a little wary of opening that NaNo2006.doc file on my computer... *g*

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Ticky Boxes FTW!!

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Ah well, you're too late. It was a one day offer.

(Joking!)

Guess I'll be seeing you at some point today! (I have a meetingin at 2 but it shouldn't take long)
