nanowrimo_ljRight, this year I'm going to be working on a 50,000-word equivalent of 'Truth or Dare' and I'm looking for people to play along.
The idea is this; post here tiny scraps of plot. Things that I'll be able to squeeze a days typing out of and whatever is posted will, without exception, become a part of my Nano.
Each post will become a days typing unless two posts fit well into one days typing or I feel like I can run with one post for longer. I'll post one of these requests every Thursday or if I ever feel entirely uninspired mid-week. Once I have enough ‘dares’ for the week, the remaining dares will be put on hold until the last two days of Nanowrimo when I will write every single unused dare into my final stretch of word count.
Common sense says that I should put a limitation on what can be dared but I'm not going to. These can be anything. I've already had a request for penne smut to be included in the later chapters. If you tell me to kill my main character in the first hundred words, I will. If I'm told to do a chapter in the style of a Broadway musical, I'll do it. If I'm asked to have my characters spend 10,000 words in a box, they'll spend 10,000 words in a box.
The Characters that already have been given to me can be found here and it's not too late to contribute your own.
Thank you to everyone who's already helped me with this and please, if you don't comment, I have no nano. :P
