Hi *waves* Joined a little while back, second year NaNo. Last year was a spectacular failure (~8000 grand total *sigh*), so wish me luck this time around.

I apologize if this has already been asked, but I'm curious and I didn't see anything re: this topic. I know NaNo allows for it, so is anyone else here doing fanfic for their novel? I just decided tonight that I will be (crossover between er and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit if anyone's curious--details available upon request), and I know a friend of mine is as well, so I was wondering just how popular of a twist on the idea this is.

I saw other people doing covers, and it looked like fun, so I gave it a shot. I am having a hard time coming up with something for this year's novel, but I made a swell cover for last year's!

Piratical historical fiction makes out with film noir! )

EDIT: Okay, I finished the one for this year's NaNo. ^_^

High fantasy is hijacked by sarcastic espionage! )

Just saying hey! Second year going in for me, like a few of the others on here. Heh, I'm one of the failures. (I'll admit it!) Don't know how far I got last year; don't really wanna know cause it was that bad.

But I am back here again, with my eye one the prize.

This year my story will be a sci-fi "aliens on earth who just found out they are aliens" story. (At least that is the plot that I am thinking of going with atm.) Changes may occur, but I doubt it. If you are interested friend me, as all of my actual story excepts and chapters will be Friends Only.

Hope to see you guys at the finish line this time!

Ok, I have a loose plot floating around in my head and I would like some opinions please.

Here it is: A guy takes a stupid bet with like 30:1 odds to try to get rich quick. He loses and owes his bookie a bunch of money now. The story will revolve around this guy and his best friend scheming on ways to raise the money to pay the bookie. They finally get all the money together, but by the end of the book this guy is going to kill his best friend over this money. I plan for the whole thing to have undertones about how money corrupts, and can come between people.

My tenative title is Collecting

What do you thihnk?

Okay, why is it I had an outline, and my muse keeps having me go back and beef it up? I keep tweaking and tweaking. I was looking forward to at least one week of peace before nano starts, and it looks like that has become a fantasy...

Hello, NaNoWriMo newb speaking! I'm a senior at high school residing in western PA with no idea how I'll actually make 50,000 words in 30 days. But I feel compelled to give it a try!

My plot is still a bit hazy in parts. I know it will center around a (currently unnamed) woman working as a professional dancer in New York City with some connection in underground crime which will probably come somewhere from her deceased father. But the plot will really center on her affair with a married cellist she met after he played in the orchestra of one of her performances and her link to normality through their relationship.

It's too bad that nobody has a name and everything's still up in the air. ;) She started as an assassin, pure and simple, before I got stuck on making her a professional dancer, so now her connection to crime is a bit more fudged. But hopefully I'll manage to figure it out in the few days before November starts!

EDIT: Sorry about the multiple posts. I do believe I've managed to delete them all! Hurrah!

Are the forums on the Nano site ever faster? It seems like even in the middle of the night it is bogged down.

Recently in the NaNoWriMo forums, I came across a discussion on desktop calendars to help ourselves stay on track with word count. Well, I went ahead and made one of my own. So, for any XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS fans or just anyone looking for a nifty little desktop, here you are.


RIGHT CLICK SAVE


ALSO

I can manipulate things so that there's a different picture. So, if you have a 1024x768 picture you want me to throw behind the calendar, leave a comment or send the picture my way: mithfalasion @ hotmail dot com.

Character-Plot Outline
Tainted Angel


Major Characters:
Medi (de Romanus)
Medi is the main character of the novel, along with her two siblings. At the beginning of the novel, Medi will be five or six years old. Amato and his gang rescue her from some men from the Mafia, who are there to kill her and her family for not paying their debts. At the end, I haven't quite figured out how old she will be—though, I have a feeling that it will be over a hundred. Mainly because I plan to do a sequel after I have finished this novel. Kind of like how, at the end of Tuck Everlasting, Jesse (I think) comes back about 90 or so years later. Medi's real, first last name is never disclosed during the story; however, somewhere in the middle of it, she is adopted by Joseph de Romanus.

Meteorite and Tao (de Romanus)
Meteorite and Tao are twins. Meteorite is a girl and Tao is a boy, but they look exactly alike, aside from the differences in their genders. They look nothing like their elder sister (and from this, we can infer than they are not really related to her, by blood), Medi, who tells them that they are her children and not her siblings (you'll find out how she can do this in the novel).

Joseph de Romanus
Joseph is the man that first decides to adopt Medi, after she is enslaved to him for little over three years and she has become like a child to him. However, this does not stop all of the sexual encounters during her stay the Manor. Later in the story, after Medi has left, he is married to Ryan, whose previous last name is unknown—and even later than that, Joseph and Ryan divorce.

Caine Natsukira
Caine is Medi's first love. She falls in love with him during the period she owns Hidden Secrets, which is a hotel that is housed in London and only a few miles away from Joseph's Manor. Caine is shot in the chest by an assassin, but he is released from the hospital within a few days later. He, however, dies a few months later.

Daniel Talbot
Medi meets Daniel in a place called Agony City, which is where Medi goes after leaving Joseph's Manor. Medi turns Daniel and ends up keeping him as a minion for herself. Though, she handles him with some maternal compassion, in the end. Agony City is located somewhere in the broken down part of London.

Brooke Wakefield
Brooke is Medi's last love, with whom Medi is forced to make a choice: to turn... or not to turn.

Minor Characters:
Amato (no last name given/heard of)
Amato rescues Medi and her twin baby siblings from their home when the Mafia is after them.

Amato's gang (Roy, Crystal, etc.)
Medi considers this her family during the first part of her life, up until they are kidnapped by a group of slave traders.

Ryan de Romanus and other characters at Joseph's Manor
Medi considers the people at Joseph's Manor to be her family, and she keeps in touch with all of them, except for Ryan (who she has a grudge against for divorcing Joseph).

Okay, let me try this again, and see if my crappy browser and Internet connection will decide not to torment me and show me what's actually been posted after they crash. And yes, before anyone asks, I feel like a major league moron right now. As I said in one deleted response, if your car breaks down and you lose your wallet in the same day, the best idea is probably to just take some asprin, go to bed, and not try anything that requires the slightest degree of intelligence.

Man, I don't know what I did in a past life, but karma is beating me down pretty bad. =p

Cover and quick summary behind the cut... )

Again, hopefully none of you will want my head hoisted on the nearest pike and paraded around as a form of therapy for seeing my annoying massposts. =p
