SoSuWriMo!

What's this?? __Some of you may be familiar with NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, which is an open challenge to write 50,000 words of a novel in 30 days during the month of November. This is a relatively daunting task, but the whole point is to just get it out! Lots of people have ideas and want to write stories, but they never get around to getting them penned. As such, NaNoWriMo is about quantity over quality, where wordcount matters more than content or theme or plot or whatever else. Editing can always come later, but you have to write the words first! NaNoWriMo has inspired many spin-off events including Script Frenzy in April, where in screenwriters aim to write 100 pages of a screenplay in 30 days. NaBloPoMo is National Blog Posting Month, also in November, where bloggers try to blog once a day for the entire month. In a similar spirit, SoSuWriMo is 'Souls Super Writing Month! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write 50,000 words worth of posts in 30 days from midnight EST January 2nd to 11:59 pm EST January 31st. At an average of 350 words a post, that's a little less than five posts a day for thirty days. c: How will this work? __If you intend to participate, please reply to this thread once and only once. For the duration of the month, keep track of your wordcount per post for each thread, link each thread, and your overall total. For players with multiple characters, all characters' posts are counted. Even though NaNoWriMo may encourage reckless abandon in terms of quality, for SoSuWriMo, we highly encourage you to try and maintain quality while still busting out hardcore for quantity. After all, whereas novel-writing is a one-person task, roleplaying is a collaborative effort and it would be unfair for your thread partners for you to sudden skimp on quality. Alternatively, you could choose to thread with other SoSuWriMo participants and mutually decide to go for recklessness... FAQ Do posts in Lascivio Aedes count towards SSWM? Yes. Oh no! I accidentally started on January 1st instead of January 2nd! That's okay! But if you started on the 1st, you'll have to stop on the 30th instead of the 31st. That way everyone's posts are still only counted for thirty consecutive days. :) Can you thread with yourself/write read-only posts? Yes, but it shouldn't make up a majority of your posts. After all, roleplaying is supposed to be interactive! When's the next SSWM? SoSuWriMo will be an annual event held every January from now on. Prizes __All you get is bragging rights and street cred!! ...Just kidding. :) How could we not reward such a stupendous effort? All participants that manage to net 50,000 or more words during the month of January will receive the following: Special SoSuWriMo 2010 icon A Sparkling Sapphire OOC Catacombs Skull 'Souls Tangible Prize Pack (requires shipping address) Winners' Signature Banner Custom title Custom Kiritar
