I just hope my word count won't be my-newt.I'm a biologist who immediately got the newt joke and was totally chagrinned that I didn't think of it first.
NWT FAQs and How to use this Board

Here's something: Is it okay if I mention this on my Facebook author page? Like, link this thread and invite people to join the all-new WF.org?
Or would you rather we kept it among ourselves?

Please do
Done.
Hey, this one's mine! Go make your own!
(I just looked for Ascii Progress bar generators online and chose one I liked)
Looks kinda cool. Are you working on screenplays (since you listed "Episodes drafted")?
Yes actually. It works out to be four seasons of ten episodes each. My goal is to have it read like one of the cartoons I grew up with (with advertising included, but most advertisements will be intended to provode worldbuilding that does not fit with the plot rather than actual paid advertising )
I hadn't really thought about it, but it's not like we're playing for money and need to drop a guillotine at midnight or anything. We'll lock the thread after a day or two so members can get their final updates in.
I would say that in the spirit of November, the "deadline" ends on December 1st your time. Or when you go to sleep. If I write until 2am to hit the goal, I'm counting it.
Holy shit! I just saw this for the first time. Good stuff!i'm convinced we need a mascot and logo for this

As we move toward the end of the NWT, what are we thinking for the after-party? Maybe set up some beta reads for the finished products? I'm open to ideas. I'm bummed I wasn't able to participate. This has been a very rough month for me, but everything has been a means to the end.
Here, have a 
and a piece of 
, too. Maybe encourage folks to share their favorite scene or best 200 words or thoughts on the experience?

I like the idea of sharing excerpts, seeing what each other accomplished during the month.
I also like the idea of beta reads. Maybe a request or swaps thread or something for those to whome it is of interest.
My project isn't complete yet, but I'd love to find someone willing to give in progress feedback. Alpha reader maybe, is that a thing?

Maybe a thread for sharing how we did and giving our thoughts on the whole November Writing Thing? As well as one thread for shorter excerpts (or maybe the same thread) for those who want to share a bit of their text?
I like this idea too.
I think split threads would be good. One showcase thread for any excerpts people want to post, and one where we can share thoughts on how the month went and have a whole discussion.
Personally, I won't be looking into alpha/beta readers. My project is waaay too underdeveloped for that... not unless someone wants to wait 5-10 years, anyway.
Hah, saaaaame. I did write something today I was rather fond of, but that probably means it should be slashed from the manuscript.
I like this idea. 200 Words is a fun and readable size. Also, would this apply to ANYONE who participated? Or just winners?

I don't see any reason to be exclusive. After all, we're all winners around here.
