Did you know: "November" is Martian for "Insanity"?

Tonight the OTW's Archive of Our Own enters Open Beta! \o/ There'll be an invitations queue you can sign up for, and I'll hopefully have some more invites to pass on soon. Or else just drop by and browse; it's growing fast, 750 fandoms and counting. I've been on the tag wrangling and testing teams for a few months now (what can I saw, organizing tags makes me all tingly!) and while there's still some bugs to iron out, everything there - tagging, bookmarks, mass auto-uploading from other sites - is pretty dang cool!

(And if you have any questions or comments or notice any bugs on the Archive, whether or not you're a signed-in user, go ahead & send them feedback - I can assure you that it's all read, and we want to know what everyone thinks/wants/fantasizes about! And if you've got any specific questions about using the archives, or AO3 tags especially, you can always ask me, too...)

Meanwhile if I'm incommunicado for the rest of the month, I went and signed up for NaNoWriMo - the first time I've done it since 2003, but with my lack of success finding gainful employment otherwise, I figured what the heck! Only I didn't actually decide to go and do it until a few days into the month, and at only 10K words now I seriously gotta get cracking! (am working on original fic, a novel featuring Quest & Cale and their world from my Shousetsu Bang*Bang stories.)

(PS: Much belated thanks for the birthday wishes! <333)

I dreamed I was going to do NaNo and panicked because I hadn't started writing yet. ^^;; Then I remembered that I decided not to do NaNo this year on account of Being In Japan. *phew*

I'm glad you're doing it again, though! Hey, my first year was 2004 (and then I did 06, 07 and 08), so in a way, you're still senpai. XD

*cheers*

Being in Japan is a very good reason to skip a year! It was my excuse for a while, certainly... XP But it feels good to be trying it again...13K words and counting!
