Trystan: Sure, go ahead and post a link! I think outside the box more often than in it, so I probably can come up with a few questions and/or details about your made-up world that I'd personally enjoy to hear more of. Sometimes plots lie where you least suspect them.

Kaderin: Alright, I guess I understand. Feelings of inferiority suck big time, and unfortunately I don't know the magic formula to make them disappear (if I ever find out, I'll live in a huge mansion with a flock of groupies and a dozen cats and have a city named after me). What I meant to say was NaNo is supposed to be fun, even or especially if someone doesn't consider themselves the greatest writer of the century. I for one would love to read your stories, just the way I always enjoy reading from Derpy. You give this little dragon so much character - no garbled mess there at all.

THIS.

ok, story:
The Thing with Feathers

Notes for Tales from Odrea <-- comments should be enabled for this one

Death: One of my friends and I have honestly been talking out the possibility of a series of Derpy children's books, so, tbh, I am thinking of making the first one part of a five-year plan of sorts. With a lot of research to happen hopefully soon about kid books followed by dabbling in the writing and also publishing research, but I don't expect instant success for sure. But I might use NaNo this year as a sort of trial run to get into writing and to maybe find the fun in writing again.

yaay Kaderin! i'll read your Derpy stories! :)

So Long, and Thanks for All The Fish

The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade

Noisy outlaws, unfriendly blobs, and some other things that aren't as scary, maybe, depending on how you feel about lost lands, stray cellphones, creatures from the sky, parents who disappear in Peru, a man named Lars Farf, and one other story we couldn't quite finish, so maybe you could help us out

The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself.

ok, Death, you win with the loonnnnng titles! XD

yanno, i forgot i'd posted my links in this thread.... and when i came her to do that, they're already here! woo hoo! :)

:/ How does NaNoWriMo work anyways?
Is there also a sort of prompt to follow?? I'm curious.

No, you can write about anything! Fiction, memoirs, 50k words of haiku!
As long as it's 50k

actually, pretty sure there's a section on the forum (provided it's not cranky) for prompts, should you get stuck writing. the new site/forum is still....buggy.
