December Reminder and Chatter Post!

[white_aster]

First off, a few modly things!

• Reminder: You can work on your card as long as you want! - Although we offer everyone the opportunity to refresh their card at the beginning of every month, this is NOT required! Origfic Bingo is NOT a monthly challenge (unless you choose to make it one, I suppose!) You can work on your card all year if you'd like! Whatever works for you!
  
  
• Policy note: Monthly card request posts - We've found that it is lots easier for us to get cards out in a timely manner if the card requests are funneled through a request post: we get comments emailed to us, so it pings us right away. We try to go through all the posts to the comm, but sometimes if things pop up when we're busy or out of town or such, some slip through the cracks. So, we will from now on definitely have a monthly card request post (check out the Card Request link on the comm's sidebar, which we'll keep updated), and we really suggest that you use it to request new cards after you get your bingo. Faster card-getting all around! \o/
  
  ON TO THE CHATTERING!
  
  What's this time of year about? Nanoing and holidays! So, if you were Nanowrimoing, how did it go? I totally failed to make wordcount with the fanfic I was working on, due to rl just being TOO DARNED BUSY. \o/
  
  For those sick to death of talking/hearing about Nanowrimo, let's talk about holidays! What's your favorite? What's your characters' favorite? What holidays does your original world celebrate? :D
  
  (I've got spacecats in my head who are looking at me funny and say that any day someone doesn't expect them to DO something is a day for laying around and having fun, so does that count?)

Thank you. Oddly, now that it's completed I don't feel superly over joyed by it. I thought I would have more of a sense of accomplishment or something. I was giddy and happy when I first just finished but now, I feel sort of along the lines of "Meh" and feeling very "that was it?"

Oh gods, no, NaNo WriMo is NOT pleasant in any fashion, unless that's your thing. If it is, well, um... great! ^_^

I think I like the idea of using that time as a dedicated period to finish up Things Not Done. There are somethings that I didn't get done, which I probably should have.. but I didn't want to force myself to work on them (the muses for those buggered off long ago and I'm trying to coax them back).

I think the second year I tried, I got maybe 8000 words. Then I just threw my hands up and said forget it. LOL
