By the end of today, everyone should have 15,003 words if they want to be keeping up. If you have more, it means you can slack off later. If you have less, better catch up!

... *dies*

TanisNikana · « **Reply #202 on:** November 09, 2008, 11:00:19 pm »

Also, box of Ramune.

I have 17,120 words. Hopefully I won't be the only one with a box of delicious Ramune. If you wanna see what I have, it can be found, in 2,000 word chunks, on tanisnikana.livejournal.com.

oslapedo · « **Reply #203 on:** November 09, 2008, 11:07:23 pm »

I don't even think I have 1k yet

TanisNikana · « **Reply #204 on:** November 11, 2008, 12:49:51 pm »

20,003! Come on, guys, you can do it!

murder_of_raven · « **Reply #205 on:** November 11, 2008, 04:30:50 pm »

Who you telling to "come on"? ^__~ 23,000.

murder_of_raven · « **Reply #206 on:** November 12, 2008, 06:48:26 pm »

Yay! I made it to the 25,000 mark! I can't tell if I'm more than half-way done with my novel or less than, but I sure as hell don't feel like this is the halfway point $:-\$

Oh wells! ^__^ Excitement abounds and such.

StarryShay · « **Reply #207 on:** November 12, 2008, 11:03:00 pm »

I'm back on track for my novel.
The story line is a bit silly though.

StarryShay · « **Reply #209 on:** November 12, 2008, 11:09:28 pm »

Woot!
I'd say mine is fantasy, maybe.
It's really stupid at times though.
Even the sad or suspensful parts make me 'Lol'.

Seraph · « **Reply #210 on:** November 12, 2008, 11:58:04 pm »

mine... i'm not sure what to classify it as. it's like a philosophical superhero story, but i'm not sure that encompasses everything. it's really dark mostly, although there are some funny parts.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #216 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:41:51 pm »

I heard from someone that you had mistaken the count to be 500,000 words, and that you already had a 50,000 word story ready, with another one sitting at 40Kish. Am I right?

TanisNikana · « **Reply #218 on:** November 14, 2008, 10:51:22 pm »

You're a bit late anyway; it's halfway over. You'd have to crank out over 4,000 words a day to catch up.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #221 on:** November 15, 2008, 06:14:25 pm »

No, I said I was gonna do this before. I've changed my mind. I know I'd have to do a lot. So I'm not going to. Because I don't have the dedication to it. (If I did, I'd be working on it now).

murder_of_raven · « **Reply #222 on:** November 16, 2008, 09:13:10 pm »

Yay! 30,000 words and I'm starting to feel like I know how I'll wrap all this up. Heehee, it's always weird writing this much, this fast, I'm sure half of this will read like it was written by somebody else to me next month (last year there were seriously parts I didn't remember writing).

TanisNikana · « **Reply #223 on:** November 17, 2008, 03:35:25 pm »

Most of you guys' wordcounts suck! You won't win with 3,000 words!

mangakaluna · « **Reply #224 on:** November 17, 2008, 05:36:52 pm »

OTL As soon as I finish my two big essays, I am gonna pull an all-nighter to get my word count up

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #225 on:** November 18, 2008, 03:29:58 pm »

You should give me ramune anyway, Tanis. lol My birthday is tomorrow! J/K I'll work for it like everyone else. got 1k pages today.

something tells me you meant "1k words". 1k pages would be /very/ impressive.

oh yes and: yay! 33000 words! :3 here's hoping I can make it to 35000 today!

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #227 on:** November 18, 2008, 05:44:32 pm »

oops yeah 1k words!

haven't worked on it in 2 weeks
xD
I really don't have a chance in hell in finishing....
v.v
I will get no Ramune.
but thats okay, cuz Tanis is my friend and I mooch off him anyways.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #231 on:** November 19, 2008, 02:13:00 pm »

Type hard and type fast. You can still win, if you really have at!

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #232 on:** November 19, 2008, 03:01:35 pm »

I really really hope to finish!

StarryShay · « **Reply #233 on:** November 19, 2008, 08:18:21 pm »

I'm pretty much out of the competition. Dx
I only have 2,000 words or so.
I FAIL.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #234 on:** November 19, 2008, 09:29:11 pm »

32,941!

If I win, I'm gonna decline my share of the Ramune, seeing as how I'll buy it for me anyway.

I will, however, take part in my share of the publishing profits.

murder_of_raven · « **Reply #235 on:** November 22, 2008, 06:38:22 pm »

Yay! I'm now at 41000 (I hope to get to 43K by the end of tonight)! ^__^ I hope to be finishing up by Monday or Tuesday! Anybody who wants to read it should totally PM me an email address or something. I would love to have some Beta-ers.

EDIT: =3 I actually made it! 43000 words means I'd make it even if I only wrote 875 words each day for the rest of the month.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #236 on:** November 22, 2008, 06:58:15 pm »

I am now seriously looking for Beta readers, please contact me if you are interested in reading or editing my novel! ^__^ I'm very happy about how it turned out.

Oh, and is anybody else going to the NaNo after party thing the weekend after next? We should totally meet up there!

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #240 on:** November 24, 2008, 06:55:07 pm »

I've been done for about a week or so. I know this because it's handwritten and after a bunch of mathematical calculations figured it to be totaled at around 54,000 words so far. (I averaged 300 words a page, did about 180 pages)Just need to get off my lazy butt and count them all and get someone to confirm. Is it against the rules to have finished the first draft with about 140 pages (about 42000 words) and started to second draft (on about page 38 or 39 on that one) which makes up the rest of the 50000? Or do I have to lengthen the first draft another 8000 words? By the way, it's handwritten.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #241 on:** November 24, 2008, 10:25:26 pm »

I seriously have no life. XD

TanisNikana · « **Reply #242 on:** November 25, 2008, 10:40:12 am »

I'm already editing Chihiro's novel, and having two novels lying around to edit could get hairy.

If you two can, send a copy of your manuscript to tanisnikana@gmail.com. Mitsukai, I only need to see yours with my eyes.

Once that's done, you two can pick your flavors. Right now, I have only a case of regular in my closet, so if you want that, it'll be ready for you immediately, otherwise it takes two weeks to order a case from Uwaji.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #243 on:** November 25, 2008, 11:07:46 pm »

M'kay. I've almost finished getting my mom to verify the wordcount on the handwritten manuscript, then I'll finish the typing of it. Already 8000 or so into typing... should be done by friday. Then I'll submit to NaNoWriMo and send you the manuscript.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #244 on:** November 25, 2008, 11:49:35 pm »

TanisNikana · « **Reply #246 on:** November 26, 2008, 02:19:05 am »

Show it to me in person, with written paper. Send the Lorem Ipsum to the NaNo website. ^^
