So, who’s tackling NaNo this year? *raises hand sheepishly* It’s been a few years since I dove in and drove myself to the point of insanity trying to cobble together 50,000 semi-coherent words, but I’m hoping it’s the kick in the pants I need to get back to writing regularly. Wish me luck, and don’t get between me and my Keurig for the next 30 days.

Keurig whimpers in terror. Little did it know that Halloween only marked the beginning of the spooky season, it was going to be enslaved for another grueling thirty days, without a prayer of overtime pay.

It is unfortunately way too late at night for me to post another review or respond to Invidia, but I will get to it tomorrow. In the meantime, please enjoy this dramatic reenactment of @GeorgeGlass’s story.

Wow, @InBrightestDay, you really captured the essence of the story.

I’m going to do it sort of half-assed and try to finish—or at least make serious progress on—the novel I started with NaNo 6 years ago. I’ve finally finished the one I started after that (in 2020), so it’s time to get back to this one.

As the wheel turns and the veil thins, we honor those who came before. The blessings of Samhain to all! 🌖

How do I upload a story in the archive? The first thing you need to do is to ensure you're logged in. Use the dropdown menus to find the correct archive for your story. There is a dropdown for Original Writing, and one for FanFiction, which has submenus for the various sub-archives. Each archive will have an option for the Story Manager for that archive. Click on the Story Manager, and you will see a link to ADD NEW STORY: When you click on the icon to the right of the subdomain you want, it’ll take you to a new page, where you can begin to add all the relevant information regarding your story, such as title, summary, disclaimer, etc, as well as content tags. It is very important that you choose all the appropriate tags relevant to your story. Start with the title and description/summary: Then select the story rating from the dropdown, and start clicking checkboxes for all story tags: Then add in your disclaimer, and choose whether or not your story is publicly available, whether other members can add chapters, and add co-authors if you have them. You can also link to your review reply thread on the forum, and to any story discussion thread on the forum: Now you click the CREATE STORY link, which will bring you here: Scroll down, and you will come to this: Click on the ADD CHAPTER link, and you will be brought here: Title your chapter, add in the chapter text, and then click the link to SAVE CHAPTER. And there you are, your first chapter of your new story uploaded.
