I didn't register for it because I didn't think I'd even be able to manage anything at all, given the time--but I started it as a project for a friend. I did a lot of it almost subconsciously because it was basically stuff on things he told me and that we've been goofing around with for over 10 years. I looked yesterday and realized--I'm on the third notebook! From pretty near around the deadline. I stopped counting the words after 60,000. It makes NO sense to anyone but him and I, I'd never let anyone not strung out on moonshine to read it, and I actually managed three sex scenes in it. GOOD scenes. Who knew? I might actually register for it next year.
Still waiting on Silver's from this year, though...

Working on it. It's still trying to break free from any plot line I try to shove it into.

But you're the writer, Silver, and weaving reality out of chaos is what its all about. So tell your chars to behave--
Oh wait--I know who your chars are.
Warned ya...

I signed up for Nano but school suddenly got real hectic and I didn't get any of it done in the month they designated. I've been thinking about writing the story I wanted to write anyway, but so far I haven't pushed myself to start writing yet.

Mmhmm. Precisely.
At least your brother is behaving (at the moment) like he is supposed to.

This is very obviously a piece of deep, outrageous fantasy then.

I failed it miserably lol. I got the first chapter written the first two days and then never sat back down to work on it. I want to finish it now though, everyone that read what I had written so far wanted more and convinced me that it was good enough to be 'something'

Yep. He wanders as he pleases at this point.
You and Hawke are proving to be the most difficult.

Okay, rule of thumb with Hawke; sweet, understated, soft, romantic. Bring in Chris Miller, you won't have a problem with her.
With me, well, Wolf can tell you, you're pretty much SOL. Never was one for conforming to any script--even the one I wrote for myself. Sorry about that.

I feel like I'm baking a cake, but yes. More Chris Miller needed.
Have a quick recipe for me? I usually don't frustrate myself like this. I'm generally pretty tame and easy to manage, but... Oy.

Well, with fics having real people in them, just pay attention to what they post. Watch how they interact with eachother. Not to be a broken record, but go to any one of Chris Miller's stories and look at the posts there. LiteraryMary pretty much has a lot of individuals posting there. You get a good idea of how your subjects would interact with eachother.
And--you might want to ask Chris what he'd prefer before you engage him in any ahm--situations, taking into consideration how eagar you seem to be in adding him. Sometimes your subjects can come up with better ideas than the writer.

It'd be interesting to see you try. Since you know most people here better than I do, I'd be curious as to who you'd match with who.
Although, I might have to demand Hodge and Kane in a homosexual love tryst, just for comic relief.
Wouldn't mind seeing Gigi sock it to my Casanova of a brother...
We probably should do a chat on this someday, rather than littering NaNo with it.

I implied Kane and Hodge in Stranger Things, but I've never posted anything actually erotic.
Hm, yes, a chat would be the sensible thing.
