Confession time. Remember a few weeks ago when I said I'd get caught up? That didn't happen. Not even remotely. I've only just crossed the 25k line, which leaves me six days to get in the last 25 to reach 50. It's doable in theory, but in practice... I have much hope and many doubts. Seeing...

Finally broke 5k! Hoping to hunker down this weekend and get as close to caught up as possible. 💪

Everyone's doing great! I've only got a little over 1k total right now. Only 200 are from today. My project is a bit out of my comfort zone, so I've been freezing up on the regular. Hopefully it won't take too much longer to find my footing.

I don't think I'll be able to balance an entry with the NWT, so I'll go ahead and skip this turn.

50k for me. I still haven't picked a project yet, but I think (keyword: think) I've almost settled. Glad to see this turnout! November's gonna be so much fun.

That's probably what they did, realistically. It was all the same posts and stuff, just not available year-round. Whatever works for you guys. If you do make a section, I'm sure we could find ways to keep it active while it's there. Support threads, project declaration, progress threads. It'd...

Does this software allow temporary/timed sections? The NaNo forums had a place for Camp that'd only be there from I believe March to August. If possible, you could do something like that for a novel challenge section, opening it a month or two before and hiding it a month or two after. That way...

As of right now, I'd prefer to keep him in the background, as his absence is important for much of Shaohua's character arc. I might consider a brief appearance once we get into the thick of things. Or maybe a touching reunion at the end? We'll see! I like this idea! It'd be strange for...

Done! Dug a little bit deeper into Shaohua's heart this time around. Loverboy finally has a name! Hooray! I originally planned on having him find something connected to the echo machines somehow, but I figured it'd be best saved for later. The group's headed west under the assumption...

A sudden cold against his skin jolted Shaohua from his light sleep. The sensation—and whatever was causing it—moved along his abdomen to his chest. Something metallic and oblong poked out from his collar. Jewels stared back at him. Oh. The copper snake. Shaohua let himself smile, just a slight...

Posted! I think I'm finally getting a hang of the steampunk aspect?? Please let me know if there's anything unsatisfactory and I'll fix it ASAP. Your go, @Whiskii!

Further elaboration was not necessary. The device in Rennie's hand—whatever greater machine it was a part of—was a mere piece of this puzzle, not its solution. Its intricate detailing and Jiàn's involvement in the chase meant, without a doubt, Tobias Locke weaved this web. The overwhelmingly...

Going to have to skip this turn, too. Should the same happen next time, I'll either go on hiatus or dropout altogether, as I don't want to keep slowing things down. I'm sorry.

So good. Just enough sadness without being depressing. I love how resilient Min is! I can't wait to see more of her. Looking forward to meeting Alexis!
