It would be hard to do this year, since I'll be going home for an entire week, but I think my family would forgive me a bit of downtime to write.
I realize that nanowrimo is too easy for me by this point, and I hate appearing like I'm showing off. That's not what I intend at all - I just like setting my own goofy goals and attempting to reach them. For me, the challenge is fun, and by the end of it I have increased my own general skillz.
So really the only question now is what to write. There are a handful of options, and I cannot really decide between them.
You peeps better not get overenthusiastic with the ticky ticky. Those are not there so you cancatch click them all.
[Poll #1069350]
*NAAW - this story is going to be epic. Part of the reason I stalled on it was the realization of just how fucking huge it's going to have to be. I suck at sci-fi, and this cracked out story should make that clear if Kidnapped hasn't already. So if I did it for Nano, peeps would be lucky if I simply managed to finish the first chunk of the bastard. I would say it's going to be 2-3 books total.
**Embrace -- likely I would start this over, for better to do what I intended, and then resume where I left off and finally put an end to this story. I waver most heavily between this and Butterfly.
***The Weathermage - this is the story I've been struggling to avoid for days and days. If anyone is interested, I might could be persuaded to type up at least the prologue, for to let everyone get an inkling of it.
EDIT. Uh. I'm sort of charmed and amused people are saying Main Gauche for other - it's already done, and only a short story at that, and I promise I will work harder at getting the one fairytale book together so I can put it up.

Date: 2007-10-11 12:41 am (UTC)Oh and I must ask, have you read the manga Shin Angyo Onshi? Cause it takes the fairytales and typical cliches you'd find and turns them on their head - it's kinda scary and mezmerizing at the same time - not to mention, lovely art.

Date: 2007-10-11 02:12 am (UTC)I'd kill for this. (<- Not really...)
If I could, I'd make clones of myself and make a NAAW army and then vote 500x over for NAAW.
My dog is staring at me. I think he's about to claim my lap... Yep. He's now comfortable seated. (Bastard!)
Anyway, NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW.
... Oh wait. Crap. I could've put Meant to Be. I want that more.
Well, if you don't feel like NAWW, or Embrace for that matter, MEANT TO BE.
As die-hard Pyotr and J A D E ! ! ! fan... Well, you know. I'm sure all the MtBe peeps agree too.
Re: NAAW
Date: 2007-10-11 02:16 am (UTC)Epic? Epic? *___* I squee.
I had no idea that was going to be E P I C. That's a very shiny thing to say indeed.
(Meant to Be is still my ultimate favorite. Petya! <- I love his nickname)
