On NaNoWriMo...

[icarus]

Well, I was really hoping to do NaNoWriMo this year, but my school committments make it impossible.

Bummer. I was hoping to crank out some approximation of Snape Manor, the sequel to Primer to the Dark Arts.

Next time, though. I wrote Primer to the Dark Arts over a six week period in 2002, so I think I could do it. I wasn't part of NaNoWriMo, I'd just read a lot of unfinished WiPs and promised myself I wouldn't do that, so I'd better hurry.

Check it out if you have a chance. There's something about making a committment, "I'm going to finish this Now" that gets you pumped. And it's surprising the turns your story will take.

I won't be doing it as well, for the same reason. Stupid school.

I wanted to finish CF. It's one of those unfinished WiPs that you promised yourself you wouldn't write... I wish I could find the time to knock out that in six weeks!

NaNo was the most fun I've had in a long time...

*sigh of exasperation* I know. I'm skipping all posts about it just to keep the green-eyed monster at bay.

Out of curiosity, what's CF?

Snape Manor is perfect for Nanowrimo. It's outlined, but no work's been done on it.

I'm doing it. Well. I signed up. I hope I can do it. Not a clue as to a plot. I had originally wanted to write an HP AU sent in the Renaissance, but since I wasn't able to research (WORKSTUPIDWORK!), I'm holding off on that idea until I have more time. So, now. I'm still plotless, but.. Even more so than before. I think I might just haunt the dare threads on the forums and write an HP fic around the dares. Something reaaaaaaaaaally cracky, I'm sure. Oh well. It's worth a shot, right? >_>

We have opposite problems. I have Snape Manor all plotted (with many, many holes) and no time to write it. I also have another non-fiction book I'd like to research and write. *shakes head* No time to do either, and I've plot bunnies scurrying around in my head.

Ideas.

I've always wanted to read something that's Auror Academy centric. What do you think? It really hasn't been done.

Hmm.. Sounds intruiging. Though what Auror Academy would be based on is a thing to question. Police Academy? University? A combination?

Unfortunately, while I was at work this morning, I was smacked with a Harry & Draco interaction snippet. Even more unfortunate, it partially happened in front of an American Muggle videostore (along the lines of Blockbuster). -_- I, of course, wrote it down and thought "WHY!?" I even had dialog bits. THEN! A bit snuck in with them & Draco blatantly lying to.. someone. Dumbledore, probably, about how he found Harry.

Ohboy. -_- This could all be worked in together, I reckon.
