Yay! Congrats!

I still have no idea what is going on since I didn't go into the event thread. I stayed in GrannyJ's event thread and the come chat thread. That was it. XD

Our ghostie is going to turn into a pain before long......again.

Disclaimer: Some things I type within this thread may or may not, in fact, be fiction.

What? I missed the ghost episode already? Oh bother.

Did you know that celery is a secret assassination weapon? It actually dehydrates you, and I heard from some odd Earthling that you call celery victims "Mummies". Strange word, don't you think? Isn't that what you also call females who hatch you?

...huh? And you're probably thinking "mommies", not "mummies." And we don't hatch our kids. We give birth to them. THink of it like trying to crap a watermelon out of a lemon-sized hole.

*munching on celery* Oh? ...Hm. >.> Well. I've been drinking enough tea lately anyway. *continues munching*

Ick. I don't wanna imagine that, Chief! :gonk:

That's just what I've heard. I'm still a virgin, so I've got no idea what having a kid is like.

lol same, but it's still not an image I wanna think about. I hear it's ridiculously painful. >.<

Neither would i...

And what's NaNoWriMo?

Hello there. Sad the ghost wasn't found before Hallowe'en was over, though congrats to HappyStarr.

Mind if I continue hanging around over here?

Sure, go ahead!

lol thanks.

Totally! Stick around and join us! We'd love to have you here! :D

Nuuuuuuu!!!! I missed the ghost!!! :gonk:

But CONGRATS HappyStarr!!! :boogie::glomp:

And NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. Or so I've heard....
You get the choice of slaving away on a 50,000 word story before the end of November :D

hehe thanks! :hug:

Ya. 50k words in a month. I'm probably going to fail this one and try again for reals in July. ;)

I'll just have the space station's computer do it for me :XD They still do NaNoWriMo in July?

Gotta go buy some stuff. Be back later :)

Sounds like NaNoWriMo would be my key to getting a book finished at last. And published too!

Totally! They offer self publishing for people who do finish, though I haven't met anyone who's actually taken them up on the offer yet (I'm sure there are tons, I just haven't met them. xD )

Nice. I'll try it in the summer when I've got a crapload of free time.

NaNo is great for motivation, definitely. Not for terribly much else, but that's why December is unofficially "National Novel Editing Month".

Also, they do have a lot of cool charity stuff, like getting kids into writing and writing workshops.

Is NaNoWriMo only in the U.S.?

This is the first time I've heard of it, so I wouldn't know.

Nope. It's over the internet, so IT KNOWS NO BOUNDS! We could even participate in space. ;) Officially, there are "Region" forums for...I think every location registered on the site. Definitely within every continent.

In other words, it's international. But is it interplanetary?

Not yet. I'm sure they'd be willing to extend it if other planets and space stations showed interest and were willing to donate to the cause. ;)

I think they'd have a blast translating all those languages :) Unless all submissions have to be in English? :/

@ Starr: Sadly, none have yet. Should we be the first? Then again, we're orbiting the Earth, so I'm not sure if we'd count...

@ Minty: Either that or it'd be the biggest pain in the ass in existance. Imagine trying to translate someting written in Vulcan to English!
