Hey, it's November first. For those of you who are thinking about taking on the Nanowrimo, good luck, have fun, and boy am I glad I'm not you! ♥ X3 (I'm not going to get to read any cool novels this way, am I?)

EDIT: ...I am displeased with my new psychopharmacologist. Also, with my dinner options. I think I'll just hate everything until I get fed.

EDIT:

Aliens are fighting for earth every day, and the wounded of the side that likes us land up in our hospitals in seeeecret. But a girl who doesn't know anything about that makes happy friends with an alien girl (ALIENS WITH GENDERS LIKE OURS!!! the convenience is overwhelming) in the hospital and takes care of her while she's in a coma. Unfortunately, the alien girl dies, and the human girl finds out her friend was really an ALIEN HERO. (Possibly from a sexy conspiracy doctor man, I don't know.) She turns into a magical girl who fights to save the aliens that are still dying in hospitals.

It's great. I think I've even figured out how to fit in another Rufusclone. :DDD And CAKE. Alien cake? Yes. Right. So. DUN STEAL MY ANIME IDEA I THOUGHT IT UP FIRST.

While I have varying levels of satisfaction with my life right now (mostly low), more prominent is my shame. I feel horrifically ashamed that I'm not some kind of Model Citizen. In fact, I think just about everything I do is shameful somehow. So it's not my psychopharmacologist's fault, but after explaining my life to him and hearing his amazement, I felt slightly inadequate. I mean, you know, kinda. Crappy?

EDIT: I hid the fact that I got any eggs before because if they didn't hatch into something nice first thing off, my little maiden heart would have been broken. ;_; But they're not ugly, right?
This egg hatches on October 1, 2005! Adopt one today! This egg hatches on October 1, 2005! Adopt one today!

EDIT: Actually, I think I got two good ones.
This egg hatches on December 1, 2005! Adopt one today!This egg hatches on December 1, 2005! Adopt one today!

I'M DRAWING ON HIME'S BBS SHH DON'T TELL.

I'm going to stop spamming now, I PROMISE.

words, how impressive =_=


well it's tempting to write thoughtlessly like a bullet train and to churn out crap =0 but.. damn it's still much work and i don't see why you should think of yourself as a novelist when you write 50000 words down within a given time. I mean, there's a person on my f-list who in great detail describes what happens to him day by day, i'm sure he could hit the 50000 mark in a month's time, but seriously, since when did writing WORDS became equal to writing a novel =_=; The whole idea sounds like an insult to the art of book writing to me. Sure it's fun, but the Nanowrimorons shouldnt carry out the ridiculous pretense that participation means anymore than that, geez.

Re: words, how impressive =_=


Er. Well, I guess. I'm just happy I'm not them because it looks like so much work! Omigod, I want to be idle forEVER!

I think it's just more of a challenge. Like, can you write something that can actually pass for a novel? And by the way, lots of other people are doing it, go ahead and whine to them.

From: [identity profile] boogietiere.livejournal.com

Re: but do i end up being a novelist if i whine enough =D


hmm i dont have anything against the people who participate (and i'm not really whining, nor trying to stop this madness, just giving my two cents about the subject you dedicated this entry to..) but have you actually looked around on the nanowrimo website =\ First of all, it's hard enough to write something as an amateur without any time restraints, heck i daresay not even a professional in his right mind would settle for a month to write a novel of sizable proportions. Secondly, as the site states, it's not about the challenge, it's about "outputting crap" and "Quantity instead of quality" , i don't see how that is supposed to be a challenge, as a challenge should encourage you to do something to the best of your abilities. Anyway if it is considered a challenge to write something bad only then, FAST, you're still not a novelist as they are trying to make you believe.

Finally I think this quote from the website alone sums up decently just why i find the project's standing so offensive to the art of writing in general, among the reasons for participation is given this one:

"To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work."

i mean wtf? i'm not mocking rembrandt either because i recently painted a giant pink octopus for school in half an hour, comparing the two would be just as foolish.

Gee, I should read...sites about...things...


Oh my god, mock? Robin's respect points -50, man. :/ ...I hate to use the cliched insecurity argument, but that person's probably pointing at him/herself for having unfinished novels on the hard drive for like 5+ years or something. So that's very nice for them, they've found something that they think can pull them forward, but they seem to have forgotten THE REST OF US SILLY PLEBES.

...I have the feeling that if anybody on my flist actually starts the challenge, they'll probably end up with a half-finished novel that'll take lots of extra time to finish anyway. So in a lot of cases, maybe the point is just to start a novel, or write something, because you can brag to your friends and it's fun. (...which is certainly a good enough reason for me... >_>)

For the sake of all dying alien girls in our hospitals! OMG <3 such righteousness =D i'm touched, and see how just every plot gets better with cake? (i'm guessing that in your story a giant cake meteor is about to collide with earth and the rufus clone plans on blasting it with his cannon? wait it's not like that at all huh..)

STOP MAKING FUN OF ME OMG


:<<<<

I lied about the cake, actually. I don't know where the hell that would fit in. =_=

Re: STOP MAKING FUN OF ME OMG


The Evil Aliens live in a dystopic totalitarian police state where citizens under its cruel yoke are genetically altered before birth to be lethally allergic to sugars. Sweet delicious things are POISON to them. It is a life salty and bleak, racked with toil in the meat factories.

That's why the magical girl powers your heroine gets are all cake and confection-based. She conjures up fluffy varicoloured sponge cakes and intricate frosting flowers in her attacks and spells against the evil aliens who come to assassinate ppl in hospitals.

I'm thinking of things like the pancakes smash spell from Rhapsody.

From: [identity profile] boogietiere.livejournal.com


No, i mean, i like your plot, and i was only going a weeee bit overboard on the gung-ho factor before, although i admit it was enough to come across as ironic. So erm, will you accept this as my convoluted apology please? (I'll post food pictures?? =D)

WHY IS THAR NO CAAAKE? i was convinced that you were going to weave a celestial body out of cake into your story =0 Maybe you should go along with yang's idea though, and turn the evil aliens into bulimic, sour-vomiting diabetics (unless you don't feel like mocking the terminal ill in a cheerful magical girls show), also they aren't destroyed, they get HEALED so that they can become good guys and eat all cake and parfaits they want without putting on pounds or getting... heart attacks ._.; Anyway the world would be totally PERFECT.

I went ahead and adopted an egg too, it's sitting on my userinfo page, being incubated under the most favorable of circumstances. Yea, this better be a good embryo for it's own sake, it takes long enough to hatch.

FOOD PICTURES?!!!!! All is forgiven. ...wait, I dunno what I need to forgive you for. :D

Actually, I was thinking of cake as something for the alien girl and the human girl to bond over, but now I'm thinking paper dolls for that. This would happen in a hospital, see, where they can be twitchy about food from the outside depending on what your problem is. I was also thinking about making the alien girl sensitive to caffeine or refined sugar so that cake would be no...and I do have to admit some aversion to mocking the terminally ill. X_X But now I think it would be cute if I indulged in the old cliche of aliens loving our food/music/sex a little bit and had our heroine give ailing aliens cake...

Aliens and their technology can also explain the appearance of general foolish magical girl paraphenilia. ♥ ♥

This reminds me I need to read the latest parts of your story...

From: [identity profile] yangvalyang.livejournal.com


Instead of wands and scepters, your girl should be armed with a magical jewel-encrusted spatula and frosting squeeze bag. Oh! And a pastry cutter with bells.

She can pull things out of a chef's hat.

From: [identity profile] moumusu.livejournal.com


Anything with bells, yes thanks that's a good idea. :3

From: [identity profile] yangvalyang.livejournal.com


She shoots alien ninjas with jets of sparkling frosting from her squeeze bag.

Oh my goodness yes. Especially if you fangirl my art. I see you around, too. You write the fanfic, don't you? I fangirl YOU. Can I friend you back?

From: [identity profile] moumusu.livejournal.com
