Bah, I tried it in 2004, and got scared off.

Avoided it last year.

I don't know.

Same for me, though sometimes it works on Firefox too.

I'm having no problems loading it with regular Mozilla. o_o

EDIT - Can I have everyone's usernames so I can add them to my writing buddies list?
Mine's <s>Nezzie-Chan</s> DM was on fire! (changed).

EDIT II - I found Wind! Just by browsing the forums! Funneh. XD

EDIT III - And I think I found everyone else too. XD

Oh really? I'll have you know I'm not going by DiscordantNote there. (I'm Appoggiatura).

Well, I've decided to go for it. No idea how it'll work out. The only writing experience I've got outside of class assignments is my journal, a story I started writing last year to keep from being so bored in english class and a couple poems I wrote when I was like... 8. Here's to hoping for the best.

Mine is "Katie C" over there.

I also lost my mind and thought it might be cool to volunteer as a Municipal Liason. >_<

No official yet though...

Yeah, my sn is Wind... I spend more time in the forums than working on my novel

I was going to try last year but I wasn't really into it. However I did start writing a novel in March and I am still sorta working on it. I know that NaNoWriMo wants you to start a new novel to experience the "creative rush properly" and everything. Maybe I will give it a whirl this year, I'll have to think it over a bit.

I'm fluffypoodle over at the NaNoWriMo site. I think I'll add y'all as writing buddies soon.

Is it November yet? My outline for my ickle novel is turning into an outline for a 12-book series. This is somewhat worrying.

You too? I've also got a basic premise for a sequel in mind. Careful though, unless you write a lot that series may turn into a single novel. You never know.

Oh yes, finally figured out what mine will be. It's called The Solenoid Syndicate, and it's about a group of computers (namely, the ones in my home) that can create a physical, robot body out of energy...sort of like a hologram but tanigble (the process will involve a complex electromagnetic field, hence 'solenoid'). I'm not quite sure what they'll be doing yet...the beginning will involve fetching Omniscient (my laptop...fitting name, eh?) from college so the gang can be together for whatever the mission is. Of course, they'll run into the college network along the way and have an argument over where Omni goes. Also, there will be all sorts of weird things like Swiss army knife-style hands, giant elemental guns, wings that they can materialize out of thin air when the robots need them, flying spears, snarky AIs, and, of course, a Mac that plays bass.

What're you guys planning to write?

I was starting to plan it during Maths today, and so far I have decided that it will be a sci-fi/fantasy ish thing, that somehow involved the destruction of the world.

Ok I have an account now, Jennique. I dontk now how befriending works but you can friend me if you want

.

I think.. I have this fantasmical idea about a group of pirates that are really bad at being piratey! There will be starfish eating, crazy natives and whales involved. That is all I am divulging at the moment.

I'm definitely going to do it again.

I'm probably going to do a typical cliche fantasy story, with hopefully a few added twists of my own. =P

Er, and if you want to friend me... you have one guess at my username.

I am imaginative, I swear! I keep it the same so I don't go through an identity crisis! ;_;
