Skyfire appeared, looking pointedly at Kestrel. The stoat was clad similarly to Stormsong, in a long coat and little round sunglasses, the main difference being that her coat was yellow. "Hi. I didn't think a Halloween party was a good place for a baby, so I got Tagg to look after Moses - they didn't kill each other the last time, so I suppose it's safe, and Tagg did say he wanted to spend more time with what's technically his cub."

"Yay! Mummy mummy mummy!" Molly took a flying leap and landed neatly in Skyfire's arms. "Just tellin' Miz Kestrel t'leave Uncle Stormy alone."

"Yes, I heard," Skyfire said. "Kestrel, I must ask you; have you actually read Vengeance Quest? It might save you an awful lot of effort ..."

Very cool!

Does anybody know if Kim Il-Sung has an email address, and if so, what it is?

"What? This is the EPITOME OF AWESOME!!!" Krisp couldn't believe someone could find U2 just meh.

I figured the more I act like I'm really doing this, the more likely I am to do it. My username is the same.

...but my story probably won't reach the full 50,000 words. I don't have the patience for that, and I don't think it needs to go that long. I'm just using NaNoWriMo as the motivation I need to get working on characters I developed a while ago, but didn't do anything with.

The story itself will be a fantasy setting that reverses the common trend of linking light with good, and darkness with evil...which has produced a rather odd fantasy setting with lots of tropical regions, and also well-dressed zombies. The plot itelf will focus around a broken sword, but I haven't figured out why the bad guy wants it yet.

"Hahahaharr! I've 'eard o' yew from the liddle fox cub, 'e says yore a right ole terror. I'll bet yew make yore real dad proud. Tell yer wot, if'n yew kill nobeast that ain't a Sue, then I'll teach yer to throw knives."

"Kestrel, I really don't think the PPC needs a mini-you right now," Cai protested.

"PPC won't 'ave a mini-me, 'less somebeast manages ter spell me name wrong," the ferret retorted, sniggering at her own joke.

"You know what I mean..."

"I wanted P!atD... ah well. I can still rock out to this."

I'm writing a short humor story based on the fact that I have a huge thing for demons and silliness. It's about a wizard who's a bit of a jerk, and he summons a demon to destroy his enemies, and things go rather awry. One of the characters is an undead crocodile. The thing is, the demoness is a pretty shameless self-insert, and I want to make sure she's not too much of a Sue. Her name's Vix. Anyone interested?

... Maybe. I'm kinda terrified, actually. I probably won't finish, which is okay; I know it will be crap, but I can suck it up and deal with that; it's just that I know I'll be a terrible person for the whole month, because I'm always a a terrible person when I'm working on a project. o.o

Also, I forgot about the whole thing until today, so I have only shreds of an idea. It would be set in my world, and might involve any of a few sets of characters from said world. Lately I've been thinking a lot about my Powers That Be--two in particular who don't get along. The one, Alaric, has trapped the other, Leofric, in mortal form, doomed to an endless cycle of living, dying, and being reborn, all the time conscious of what he ought to be, but unable to get back. Leofric obviously wants to get back, but there are complications with the mechanics of it. I'm not sure exactly what they are, but I'll figure that out. Meanwhile, there are all sorts of other troubles surrounding the two of them, since Alaric is basically trying to rule the world as a god and Leofric goes around calling bullshit on him every chance he gets, no matter who gets hurt in the process. These guys are starting wars.

... That all makes a lot more sense now that I've written it out. That's a first. Usually things in my head get lost in translation. o.o

I don't know if I'll enter officially, but if I go through with the writing, I'll probably want to talk about it incessantly. Who's on AIM or MSN who wouldn't mind being a sounding board?

(Still alive, but shamed by continued unemployment and thus hiding from the world except for important things. Like writing.)

I wish to fic all three of them at some point. If only I had some ideas.

Jagermonsters rock.

And looking at the history...

It's been broken since Tawaki's edit on October 16th apparently. The revision before that (Araeph's) is fine.

Maybe the last person to update it screwed up a code somewhere.

This main page, I mean: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/MainPage (or <a href="http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPCWiki">http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPC_Wiki)

The first thing in it is: Darth Maul]]------------------------------------

followed by instructions on how to update, which is clearly meant for logged-in members, whereas the actual opening page is down below.

Maybe someone did this on purpose, but to me it seems wrong. I would think that editing instructions, if on the page at all, should be at the bottom.

Or have I missed something?

Redwall is an old favorite, Discworld is hilarious, and I follow Girl Genius on a per-update basis.

I shall make up for it by writing lots of itty bitty bits of fanfic. If I can come up with any ideas. Anyone else like Redwall, Discworld, and the webcomic Girl Genius (not in conjunction, though, that would be ... potentially very funny but nightmarish to write)?

School is trying to kill me, once again. I don't have time to write a novel, so the only place it could come out of is homework and study time, which would do Bad Things to my GPA.

Best of luck to everyone who is participating, though.

Hrm... I wonder if my final project for 360 would count? It's probably going to be in the 50,000 word territory by the time it's done...

What, seriously? No one has anything to say about this very special month? I'm first?

What is this world COMING to?

Okay, so for the uninitiated: NaNoWriMo, short for National Novel Writing Month, is an international contest to write a 50,000 word novel in thirty days! Specifically, the thirty days commonly and collectively known as "November" by most of the population.

So! Who all is going this year? Anybody up for trading tips, secrets, favorite distractions or lack thereof, NaNo usernames, anything? What are y'all doing for plots, characters, general context-related issues?

"I'll have to get you reading Vengeance Quest some day. Okay, I know most guys can put up with the occasional glomp, but ..."

"And furry-type guys get it more here, 'cos they're so cute and fuzzable!" Laburnum faux-squeed, clasping her hands and blinking her eyes overdramatically. She dropped the act and said "Seriously, he ain't happy about grabbiness."

Molly transferred her attentions from Stormsong to Kestrel, clambering over her shoulders like a monkey. "'Ello friend! Sorry Uncle Stormy don't like you. I don't fink it's pers'nal, 'e just finks all females 'cept me 'as cooties."

"MOLLY!" Foxglove gasped, trying hard to hide her amusement.

"We brought some U2 albums and he changed the music. Sorry about that," What' said.

"Y'see, I've come ter be a 'uge fan o' that clear liquidy stuff... wotsitcalled..."

"Hand sanitizer?" Cai offered.

"Aye, that stuff! 'Cept it burns like blue blazes if'n yew 'ave a hangclaw..."

"Yes, yes, may the gods bless the wonders of Purell," Deuce muttered dryly. Adder snickered. "What?"

"Sorry, *snort* it's -heehee- just funny imagining... hahaha! Freakin' Gaara saying that... Hahaha!"

Cai blinked. "...It's not that funny..."
