That was an accident... still frantically scraping up that final 10K here in the next four days.

Good luck =O

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #255 on:** November 27, 2008, 07:51:45 pm »

I give up. :/

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #256 on:** November 27, 2008, 10:35:24 pm »

I overshot myself a bit. Just finished submitting - used the lorem like you suggested - ended up being exactly 52362 words.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #257 on:** November 27, 2008, 10:35:55 pm »

Sweet!

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #258 on:** November 27, 2008, 10:36:08 pm »

Thats good. I got 4798

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #259 on:** November 27, 2008, 10:52:16 pm »

Yup! problem is, my mom lost the first page of the first draft. -sighs- >.> gotta go find it or just make do with what I've got for the second draft so far. (Once I pass a part in the 2nd draft, that part in the first isn't needed as much. But I still want my entire little brainchild around, you know? Moonlight is my baby. *snuggles manuscript*)

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #260 on:** November 27, 2008, 10:53:27 pm »

Good job on finishing.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #261 on:** November 27, 2008, 11:07:01 pm »

Well, you overshot, so as long as you hand me enough words, we're good to go.

Also, I made 43,000 even tonight! It came up as 42,998, but then I slipped in an "and" and a "she" to bring it up.

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #262 on:** November 28, 2008, 11:33:55 am »

Lol....7000 more!

TanisNikana · « **Reply #263 on:** November 29, 2008, 05:54:46 pm »

48,323!

Only 1,674 to go!

YouDontKnowMe · « **Reply #264 on:** November 29, 2008, 08:37:56 pm »

I failed. I stopped at about 10k words. I'll finish it over a period of time.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #265 on:** November 30, 2008, 03:41:44 pm »

I'm a novelist!

50,266.

mangakaluna · « **Reply #266 on:** November 30, 2008, 09:53:02 pm »

TT^TT
I failed.

Oh well. I'll try again next year. I didn't have any time this NaNoWriMo around, due ta first term in College and such.

StarryShay · « **Reply #267 on:** November 30, 2008, 09:54:56 pm »

Wah, I failed too.
Dx

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #268 on:** November 30, 2008, 09:55:27 pm »

Huzzah for failers?

Winfred · « **Reply #269 on:** December 01, 2008, 08:38:52 am »

Woo! -failhighfive-

But hooray for winning, Tanis!

TanisNikana · « **Reply #270 on:** December 01, 2008, 11:25:51 am »

Alrighty, lets talk prizes:

Payout goes to these fine folks:

Chihiro: One box of melon.
Mitsukai, tentatively (when she shows me a manuscript): One box of an undecided flavor.
Raven Murder: One box of strawberry.

And that's it! Show's over!

Thread locks when discussion is complete.

Yay! Congratulations everybody! 4 people finishing really is pretty good, everybody who gave it a good effort should feel proud of themselves. Anybody who is interested in reading my novel or trading editing work on their's please please please PM me. ^__^

Edit: Oh, and I hate to repeat myself but is anybody else planning on going to the end of NaNo thing next Saturday at the downtown Powell's?

TanisNikana · « **Reply #272 on:** December 01, 2008, 05:22:46 pm »

I'll be going!

oslapedo · « **Reply #273 on:** December 01, 2008, 05:25:10 pm »

Congratulations everyone! I'll try harder next year! >:3

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #274 on:** December 01, 2008, 05:49:36 pm »

Congo rats!

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #275 on:** December 01, 2008, 08:24:25 pm »

I would need a ride... wait, isn't that the 13th? That's the Christmas party... I'll be there, the Winter Rage at my school and stuff. @.@
Are you going to the Christmas party, Tanis? I could show you the manuscript then,

TanisNikana · « **Reply #276 on:** December 01, 2008, 08:56:40 pm »

The TGIO party is on the sixth. And show me the manuscript whenever, it's all cool. ^_^

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #277 on:** December 01, 2008, 10:06:43 pm »

May go, may not.

And I doubt you'd need a ride. There's fifty-three bus lines and three train lines servicing the Powell's we'll be at.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #279 on:** December 01, 2008, 10:19:33 pm »

I got zero words, I'm so proud.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #280 on:** December 01, 2008, 10:24:10 pm »

It feels weird not working on a novel tonight.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #281 on:** December 02, 2008, 12:05:42 am »

same here. @.@... *goes to work on second draft* can't... stop. XD
oh, so it's THIs saturday. I'll ask my mom.

Seriously! I suddenly feel totally aimless. I've went back to my normal hobbies (reading, watching anime, playing videogames, etc) but with a vengeance. I feel like I'm doing NaNoWriMo for each of those things this month

But it really is a normal feeling, it happened last year but more badly (last year I got really depressed actually X3)

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #283 on:** December 02, 2008, 07:41:00 am »

I'm depressed I DIDN'T finish, and you're upset that you did? Can no one win?

No, it's more like you are depressed that your life is no longer challenging and your goals are no longer crystal clear. But yeah, everything is a little bit good and a little bit bad.

makichan · « **Reply #285 on:** December 02, 2008, 08:06:14 pm »

oslapedo · « **Reply #286 on:** December 02, 2008, 08:07:50 pm »

True dat

Naruchan · « **Reply #287 on:** December 02, 2008, 08:09:04 pm »

lol I tried my best!

YouDontKnowMe · « **Reply #288 on:** December 04, 2008, 09:12:52 pm »

Oh well. There goes my ramune.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #289 on:** December 05, 2008, 02:28:50 am »

Alright, hurry up and claim your prizes; it's all just sitting here in my closet.

murder_of_raven · « **Reply #290 on:** December 06, 2008, 01:52:30 pm »

I'll be at the TGIO party today, if you'd like to bring it then ::shrug::

Otherwise I'm not exactly sure when I can make it... XD I doubt my parents would be cool with me traveling to a different city to go to a 20-something-year-old boy's house to obtain soda. Perhaps we could meet somewhere like Uwajimaya? PM me if you think of anything that might work out.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #291 on:** December 06, 2008, 11:47:30 pm »

Logistics, though. Everyone seems to think Ramune is weightless, but in actuality a box is 40 pounds and I don't drive, so I'd be lugging it all the way over to wherever you are on foot...

Well I don't drive either.

Hmm... lemme talk to some of my friends and see if I can work something out. If I can't get it to work out maybe you'll just have to keep it

TanisNikana · « **Reply #293 on:** December 07, 2008, 05:49:26 pm »

It's gotta come out of my closet one way or another...

TanisNikana · « **Reply #294 on:** December 14, 2008, 09:00:58 pm »

Two more to dole out.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #295 on:** December 22, 2008, 05:41:32 pm »

Winners have one week past thaw to claim their Ramune. After that, I'll drink it.

Contest over, books published, thread locked.
