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'm doing the 50k words as an add on to a novel that I've already started (I did 30k words in September) and more than a few people have given me crap about it. Most people don't care, but weird purists seem to think that not doing the novel from scratch means that I'm off setting fire to kittens in my free time or something.

Yeah, I don't see the point of OMG YOU STARTED THE NOVEL ALREADY, THAT DOESN'T COUNT. Especially since my main issue with writing seems to be finishing novels.

Also, your icon + the kittens comment have just made me dissolve into giggles. I am a terrible terrible person.

Weird, I (sort of) gave someone a hard time about that today . . . but because she wasn't clear, and made it sound as though she was going to just write another 25K to go with the 25K she'd already written, and call it good.

Must be more people just expanding on previous stories than I thought.
