The next great novel will be written in November. Let's see what's on the boiler this year http://nanowrimo.org/forums quote:My MC is homoromantic asexual, and her girlfriend is a homosexual lesbian. quote:My main character, Ariadne, is a bisexual 42yo mother of three and healer/seamstress. Her love interest is a little younger, and a mother as well. Their romance is pretty minor to the story, but their love for each other's children is pretty important and that sense of family they create is a reflection of some of the themes of the story. quote:There aren't any social justice-type LGBT issues in my story, because really, they'll accept werewolves, dinosaurs, time-traveling Vikings, and a shadow man as chief of police, but they get iffy on whose junk touches whose (or doesn't touch anybody's)? But my characters fall all across the spectrum: Fantasy terms for homosexuals? posted:Because a world without Lesbos can't use the term Lesbian, and so on, what kind of terms would your characters use for describing someone who butters their bread on the other side (derogatory or otherwise)? quote:While I'm working with an asexual main character, not a homosexual or bisexual character, people have, on occasion, gotten the wrong impression simply because they don't see him running after women. Basically, they understand that gay people exist, not so much asexual people, so they assume that he must be running after men if he isn't running after women. I know this probably sounds odd, but I just wrote around the issue. I didn't need to use "gay" or "homosexual" at all, nor does it outright say anywhere that he's sex-ambivalent asexual aromantic. That I can show, and it's supported by a few things he says just to clarify it for the reader. He doesn't go around screaming that he's asexual, nor does he go around actively trying to hide it any longer. (He chased women in his teens, but found he cared more for the chase itself than the women or the sex. He's repulsed by men, ambivalent to women. For a while, he'd periodically be seen in a woman's company just to give people around him the impression that he was just fussy and hadn't found the right one, but he was using this as cover. Then there was an incident and he stopped trying to do this.) He will clarify if it comes up and someone has the wrong idea, but he has never needed the word "asexual" for that. He's typically met with people who don't understand or who project their own sexual needs onto him. Anime-stylized Writing posted:So I'm doing something new this year and trying to write my novel as though it's an anime/manga, since it's both humorous and serious at the same time. How differently would the style of writing be? Would I need to add in things such as sweatdrops and over the top reactions, or is there something more subtle that I'm missing here? ^ this person has 4882 words written in their story. NaNoWriMo started one day ago.

Why look further than our own Nanowrimo thread in CCSurreptitiousMuffin posted:I'm going to write a story about a young boy living in Crimea during the late 19th century. His mother is dead and his father is distant. Every day he grubs for potatoes, breaking apart the ice with his bare hands before he digs through the freezing ground. Each potato must last his family a week. One day, the Tsar's men arrive in the town and begin to break down doors. They are looking for somebody. It will never be clear who. Just another empty year; devoid of warmth, love or answers.

Y'know, even if it's terrible poo poo (it's terrible poo poo) you gotta admire the sheer wordcount of their terrible poo poo.

I opened the thread, my penis fully erect. My body was tense with anticipation of the events to come. I bit my lip in excitement as a single thought repeated itself in my head: it's time to shitpost.

But from where I stand today, it is a sort of a HOW TO guide: how to find trolls, where they live, what they look like, history, accounts, that sort of thing. If you read that great, illustrated book on Gnomes by Peit Something-or-other when you were a kid, that's the general idea, kinda.... SO: Plot? Do I need one? Mostly I'm just generating a list of 101 Questions You've Always Had about Trolls, and going from there. But other ideas/concepts to give my mad scribbling some form?

Effectronica posted:to answer the question you asked in QCS: megathreads are really bad for discussion and having a good forums environment Yeah, I can see how that could be true. It's interesting, though, that no one was willing to give me that answer in QCS.

"this is bullshit" "why do we have burn all this stuff now"? I just want to go home and sleep, , hell the last 3 nights we got more burn filler than anything. Now the upper management is on our asses all the time. "we should open one of these to see what we are actually burning, you know, take pictures of it, maybe get rich" "Are you loving nuts, where else you gonna find a janitorial job that pays 50 bucks and hour." "i'm curious" "the stuff they send down is always in those giant bins" ""i will report you" "that's to bad" shadow man pulls a gun and kills all the janitor crew. "let's unzip this puppy"

D&D loves interventionism to kill thoe people, at the same time, how come the military is so bad. Gee I don't know maybe after the 4th tour you should get fresh troops? OH right there is none, and when they come back all hosed up and stuff sweep it under the rug.
