You don't get a prize. You win NaNoWriMo if you write more than 50,000 words, as you have then successfully written a full-length novel.

It's not a contest where you compete with others, it's a contest where you compete against your own laziness - for instance, if the only reason you have to write a novel is if you're going to win a prize for doing it. ;)

A sense of accomplishment?

I can certainly get behind the sense of accomplishment bit, but wouldn't it be better to just keep the novel to yourself in that case? There's a non-zero chance of being ripped off if your idea is good enough.

You're not forced (or even encouraged) to share it. NaNo exists more as a progress tracker than a sharing platform.

I feel like we should have a skype support group this year.

For anyone interested, a NaNoWriMo skype group has been started and if you are interested in joining, just send me a PM or an IM if you are friends with me on Skype and I'll add you to the group.

Mane, reporting in.



....you bastard.


Anyway, my plot!

Spoiler: show

So I got to thinking a WHILE ago (in one of my ADHD driven spasms of creative eureka) and it occured to me it's something of a tragedy Twilight is as successful as it is, not just because of its absolute wretchedness in its writing but also because it wastes a perfectly good idea. *prepares kevlar, necromancy, and deep breath*


Vampires have had a sexual aspect to their nature since long before...that thing happened..but the aspect of sexual awakening is oft ignored in favor of fetishized supernatural crap, which is infuriating.


That shpeal over, the maybe .2 of you not rightly sickened by my presence have my grattitude.

Fountain of self-deprecation aside, the book follows Stellis, an intrepid, quiet senior in an all-female religious high school. Having somehow become a vampire at some unknown point the previous summer. She slips up around a childhood friend of hers by the name of Sola, who finds the concept fascinating and runs with it.


Basically, using a vampire as a metaphor for homosexuality.

"Becoming" one: awakening (hence the lack of a backstory explaining it)

Weakness to sunlight: fear of coming out

Blood: if I have to explain this one I have failed you

Her friend doesn't become a vampire: because said friend is a homo/biromantic asexual and thus cannot "become" gay (because that isn't how it works)

Catholic school/monster: again, shouldn't have to explain this one

Sleeping in a coffin: any ideas, guys?

Aaaand that's it.
*wild MANE fled!*
