In honor of my first, official crosspost:
Nov. 20th, 2010 01:07 amI give you the "Aristocrats" joke I promised. Should you have forgotten what one is, I suggest Wikipedia. I am not linking you this time because I linked you last time. So there.
Quick note: the joke opens with a character grinning. That's because this is 2300 words from my 2005 NaNo novel. In case you were wondering what I'd do to meet word count.
( Warning: Sheer awfulness ahead )

NaNo 2010: Chapter 2 and Chapter 3
Nov. 5th, 2010 10:04 pmI'm still without a title for the story. In my head I've named it "The Further Wacky Adventures of Devin and Stanton and Micah and Kodachrome, and Lieutenant Cavanaugh. And Mark Tomilson. Who is a Dick. And an Indeterminate Number of Ninjas" But I'm sure the title will get longer than that the more people I add to it. That was kind of the point of the original version of this story: to be as balls-out goofy as possible.
So, all that said, enjoy chapters 2 and 3.

NaNo 2010: Chapter 1
Nov. 4th, 2010 09:25 pmI am and I'm not working off my 2005 version of these characters. I'm checking back on a couple of facts, but more or less, I'm letting them find themselves. So, if you read the 2005 version after I linked it yesterday, you might find some inconsistencies.
On the other hand, this is NaNo we're talking about, so you'd be lucky if those were the only inconsistencies.
This Chapter: 2202
( Chapter One: In Which there are Indignities )

A vote, I say!
Nov. 3rd, 2010 09:26 pmSo, I wasn't gonna do NaNo, but then I was on Texts from Last Night, and there was a text that read as follows:
What part of i'm [sic] handcuffed to an oven do you not understand?
Which reminded me strongly of my 2005 NaNo. Which was absolutely, wonderfully, batshit, and which begs the question:
[Poll #1640551]
By the way, I can't promise it'll actually get FINISHED, but I'll damned well try.

NaNo, Part #13 (Final installment! Yay!)
Dec. 23rd, 2009 07:55 pmThis is a shortish section, only 6,000 words or so, but it's the end for real and true! Aren't you excited?!

NaNo, Part Eleven
Dec. 6th, 2009 05:24 pmIt goes all the way to eleven!
Sorry. It had to be done. The novel has hit 90k and may actually end soon. I just finished off the third-to-last chapter, I think. There may be one more chapter, but I really think it's close. Maybe. Send reinforcements.

That puts you all near the 80,000 word mark, and thanks, again, for reading through all of it. It's nice to know people are enjoying it in all its first-draft goodness.

Dec. 1st, 2009 12:48 amI'm at 86k and change and probably within ten thousand words of the end (Yes, again. Shut up.). I'm happy to know people are keeping up. I can't wait to see if it ends like I think it will.

Nov. 27th, 2009 10:52 pmIn case you're wondering, I'm at 72k and change and I might actually finish in the next 10k. Which is something I'm pretty sure I said when I hit 50k. So...yeah.

7th part of the NaNo
Nov. 16th, 2009 08:45 pmI wrote 13,000 words yesterday, people. The fact I still have hands is amazing. Some of it got posted yesterday, but you're only still getting a portion of that because the chapter I was working on before I finally passed the fuck out called it a night isn't finished yet.
Previous Pieces:
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five
Part Six
( The Last Panel Before the Splash Page )
( 1965 -- The Sixth Raid )
I think the sixth raid is my favorite part for the whole novel. Not sure why.

I'm at 41k and change at the moment. If I really want to press on, I think I can whip out the other 9k this evening. We'll see. Whatever I do tonight, methinks this piece will not be concluded at 50k. To which I can only say: Well. Hmmm. Eloquent, no?

Because I've written 13,000 words since I last posted, which means I wrote 13,000 words in 4 days. Um, hey, NaNo. Glad you're healthy. Jesus.
You are getting, however, everything except the current chapter in progress. Because the current chapter in progess is apparently going to be around 4,000-5,000 words. Also,
distaff_exile has noticed a bit of time travel in the fourth part (The first raid was '61. The second was '60). Ignore it. The Doctor and the TARDIS should be clear soon.
Previous parts:
First Part (6,000-ish words)
Second Part (4,000-ish words)
Third Part (4,00-ish again)
Fourth Part (10,000-ish words)
( 1962 -- The Third Raid )
( The Page Before the Splash Page )
( 1962 – The Fourth Raid )
I'm at just over 37k and might break 40k tonight after I put in some time with my homework (boo).
