I did it two years ago. I realized it was a big mistake and not to do it again :P Good luck to all the victims that decide to go for it.

I don't have the time to do this sort of thing this year.
I wonder if it'll finally get it's own forum too. I've always wanted a place online where I can talk about O&M.

.... I could use it as an excuse to write up one of the stories of my comic... and I know which one would make 5000 words... but I dpnb't have time.

I've written a few long stories that are about 75,000 words, but they were all over the space of about a year.

Nuts dude. I can barely think of 8 words in a month.

The longest story I've written was about 4,900 words. Ironically, it was for a lax assignment with no minimum length.

Pfft, not for me! I'll be lucky to write that much in three months at full speed...

...Longest story I've written was about 3k words. Most are around 800-1000. I'm a short fiction writer, not a novellist, and I haven't written for ages.

...And wouldn't 50k words class as a Novella rather than a Novel?

Sounds fun, but there's no way I'd have the time.
