Finding out what NaNoWriMo is.

[shadowscast]

Okay, the word "NaNoWriMo" has been popping up on my flist for a while, and I have ignored it as I ignore all things I don't understand. :) But now people on my flist are saying that they're disappearing into NaNoWriMo, so I had to find out what the heck it is.

So, for the benefit of anyone as out-of-the-loop as me: it's National Novel Writing Month

It looks pretty neat. It's the kind of thing I'd having fun participating in, I think, if it weren't for having less spare time this year than I've ever had at any point in my entire life.

I once wrote a 65 000 word fic over the course of slightly less than three months. That's getting close to NaNoWriMo craziness - their goal is a 50 000 word novel in a month. So, yeah, sounds like fun! I am envious, and I wish you all well.

I'm pretty sure I meant to add you. I could have just gone on an adding spree and you ended up there.

I don't mind spoilers too much. I read some fanfics with spoilers now and am only slightly confused. But it's more confused in the sense of "I wonder if this is canon or not". I'll have to check out some fo your stuff.
