NaNoWriMo Ideas

Sat Aug 15, 2009, 12:41 PM
  • Mood: Panic
  • Listening to: Bonkers the Next Chapter
  • Reading: Eric - Terry Pratchett
  • Watching: NCIS
  • Playing: Burnout: Revenge
  • Eating: Chinese
  • Drinking: Hot Chocolate
Hopefully, fingers crossed, this year I will take part in and complete NaNoWriMo. Seen as last year my computer decided to crash when I got to about 30k words, and although I recovered it, that was the last straw and I went off into my own little depressed world...

Anyway, yes. I have also done something very very stupid.

As in really stupid.

I challenged last year's word champion, who achieved over 130k (that's 80k over what's required to "win" NaNo) to a word war... to 200k words.

That's 4 NaNos...

4!

We'll both be juggling A levels, (well technically mine is AS, but I'm doing two coursework heavy subjects so stuff it) and we're both slightly insane... there's someone else doing 200k too, so I'm essentially racing her too.

But, I only have one story plan. I am utter, utter rubbish at planning. This story plan is about a Cat... called Mouse... if you're religious, pretend I never wrote it, as it's a tongue in cheek thing about tainted people's souls (as a cat).

To make up the rest of the word count (as that is going to be my 50k+ novel thing) I'm going to write short stories. I am in my element with short stories... at 5k per story, I will need approximately 30 story ideas.

30... hence I need your help.

*Anything* random I can do a short story on. Really, anything. Just name it, and I'll try and write it. At some point I'm going to do a little FanFiction for Mister Tim over there, plus try and make my old story ideas into something more than just notes... oh and maybe do last year's NaNo as a short story.

I can always do short story series, if the need appears.

But I need ideas... ideas ideas ideas.

Help me? :D I'll gift you the story afterwards (and dedicate it to you for the idea).

Erm... a chicken that likes... hats!

And something with dragons.
:iconfaithful-jewel:
I just finished Guards! Guards! again so I am tempted by dragons :P

I'll do both for you XD Chickens with hats... pfft. Harvey the Chicken in an Epic Quest to find a Santa Hat!

Glad you liked the idea :XD:

Ooh, I thought of something a bit more for the dragon one: Do dragons have a version of Kosher, but based on how intelligent an animal is?
Just something I occasionally think about.

Right then, hope you get onell with that. Had many other suggestions?
:iconfaithful-jewel:
A few :P Some I can probably do no problem, others I'd struggle with a bit...

Note: "onell" should have been "on well", typo. ^^;

I guess the other suggestions were on your R.T. page, right? I'll take a look.
:iconfaithful-jewel:
Yeah, a few. I'm gonna put together a list at some point so we have some collation of ideas :P

I say do the Department Store one like a Monty Python sketch.

That rabbit one is just plain bizarre though.
