Since this is my first NaNo, I'm going to try writing my own thing. I have no idea what it's going to be, but I don't feel ready for this.

Well, as official as an unofficial collaboration type deal can be. And there's always the possibility that I'll end up, I dunno, getting busy with silly things like real life...
CURSE YOU, COLLEGE AND OTHER WRITINGS THAT I AM WORKING ON! CUUUURSE YOU! I has a sad. :(
Although Machine of Death is a bunch of shorts, rather than whole novels.
I'm just starting a new webcomic, so I can't dedicate myself 100% to this, but I can probably contribute a little.

I don't have the willpower, the inclination or the time.

A lot of Real Life is taking me in these days. I don't even know when I finally will be able to post my interlude, since I don't even have time to finish it...
I have a lot of college work, plus a different novel I already want to play with - I've been tossing this one around since I was fifteen and I really want to get it written some day.
This looks interesting, however there's a story in my head that is insisting I write it for NaNoWriMo and, unlike some people I know, I don't think I could manage two NaNos at once.
I've been planning to work on my own novel this November since last year. Even though I have only the barest idea of what I'm going to do for 50,000 words and the prospect terrifies me, I'm not scrapping it now.
Hail, WriMo. Those who are about to NaNo salute thee.

I'm interested. I'll give a for sure yay/nay come next week or so, when I'm not in the middle of studying for a test.
I like the idea, but can I ask why we're not supposed to find out why it's happening? I know that there would be conflicting accounts from different people, but that wouldn't stop each story from being readable on its own merits (the stories are likely to conflict in different ways anyway).
... to find out what's going on. Lots of speculation going on about what's happening and why. Lots of people coming up with ideas to beat this thing.
So the story assignment leaves room to speculate on why it's happening. You just can't declare any of them right.
From what I know of, it's more to explore what people's reactions to such a catastrophe might be, instead of focusing on the catastrophe itself. In my experience, most stories in which the planet or human race is threatened focus on how to stop the threat rather than what everyone is actually doing from day to day.
This isn't a story about Saving The World. This is a story about death, just spun around slightly. This is a story about living every day like it's your last - because there's a 3% chance that it is.
There's also a helpful page on the math, for reference on how many people we'll have, and when.
