NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo starts in less than 7 hours for me! Except, I have very little clue what I'm writing yet. I entertained thoughts of continuing my NaNo from last year and also thoughts of restarting with the same characters, but perhaps what I need is a complete fresh start.... ahhhh, I don't know yet. I've tossed so many ideas around. What I would like to write is an epic story where a lot of things happen in 50k. I wrote 50k last year, but nothing much happened in those 50k except for sightseeing, seriously, and the story did not have a lot of direction. Or well, it did, but the way I inched towards it made it feel like an afterthought. *muses some more* Ahhh, yes, I need more conflict in the story, even if not a lot happens.

I'll be doing a lot of planning today and tomorrow, but first I need to finish up all my fandom responsibilities first! I still have a lot of stuff to translate and proofread, TCG stuff to do, fanfics I should have finished by now but still haven't... Oh, I also need to go TCG trick-or-treating for colors_tcg. |D;;

You can find me over here for NaNo. Writing buddies are so motivating! Pretty much my biggest motivator with finishing last year. ;) I posted my writing as I went along last year, but I don't know yet if I want to do that again this year. *muses about this too*

Writing Communities
no_true_pair - Whoa, October ended! I only posted 3 fics, all the Legend of Sun Knight fics. I should've finished Lessons in Demeanor by now (but I haven't). I'll be posting it in its entirety over there at the community when I'm done. There are tons of other prompts I planned to do but haven't gotten around to. I definitely want to write one of the Oresama Teacher prompts though... so I'll still be poking away at fics for this community.

yuletide - I've been checking yuletide like crazy, but nominations haven't opened yet. I can't wait until they do though! Yuletide is an annual fic exchange for obscure fandoms. I haven't decided what to nominate yet... there are series that I want to write for that I wonder if I should nominate in hopes that that might spur some people to request those series. Then there are series that I might want to request other people to write for me since I don't think I'll be playing in those fandoms myself... my hopes is that other people will nominate both stuff I want to write and stuff I want to request, but what should I use my own nominations on to be safe, hm... :3

norsekink - I haven't written anything for this comm, but I sure want to. *bookmarks some of the prompts* Except I have a very bad grasp on Marvel stuff outside of the movies, and an even worse grasp on Norse mythology. |D My mind has been completely eaten by Loki this past week though, and gods, since he's one of the main characters, there is so. much. fic about him. It is both delightful and very dangerous. It is scary how obsessed I am with Loki at the moment.

Other stuff
The Legend of Sun Knight, volume 8, the last volume!!! (Grisia looks so serious on the cover!), is being released on 11/8! It's not available for preorder, or else it'd already be in my shopping cart, ahhhh. Must remember to buy this when 11/8 rolls around. The conclusionnnnn! I cannot wait. Yu Wo also posted the second-to-last teaser for volume 8, and it is quite a read.
