Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you ... the first NaNoWriMo wank of the year!

If you've been to the boards since October, you'll know they've been slow, and that the search function has had to be disabled on and off several times to deal with the load. if you've been around for previous Octobers, you know this is pretty much par for the course whenever that year's boards go up and registration opens -- the site gets flooded, things slow down, the NaNo techies whack things with sticks until things settle down to normality somewhere in the first week of November, usually.

This year, however, this is all causing a smattering of wankery:

"I'm taking my toys and going home!"
"Me too!"
"Me three!"

Small, but tasty. Like aa petit four, in a way.

me, i just wish my t-shirt, mug and merit badges would get here already. woe.

	I did see someone get huffy because people weren't agreeing with her opinion about NaNo's goal. Nothing too wanky, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I saw some huffy/stupid/pretentious posts last year but they usually got frozen before they blew up enough for here. The Forums are mostly comprised of cool heads. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hugs forums How long it is for you? I'm down to 11 hours...which means I've spent about 2-3 hours too long in my campus bookstore's cafe. Heh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have six hours and twenty minutes to clean at least my writing corner and come up with a way to start this damn thing. ... halp? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have a test in about 15 minutes that I haven't studied much for. Then, I have to do a massive outline for my speech. Sleep, eating and other homework(math test tomorrow!!) must be squeezed in between those 11 hours too. I think we both need help... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In more than one way, possibly. (God knows I need help in several ways. Before I decide that "Your girlfriend's latent lesbianism" is a perfectly appropriate haloween costume.) (What? At least I didn't wear it to the work halloween dressupfest!) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	LOL! I'd pay to see that! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm thinking flannel shirt, jeans, stompy boots, butch haircut ... The only thing I don't have is the flannel shirt, and I'm sure I can find that second-hand somewhere. Unfortunately, I don't think people would get it. Woe. (Course, I can wear that, borrow an axe off one of my LARPer friends, and go as a lumberjack. Hm.) (Reply to this)(Parent)
