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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
