I like this summer thing very much as it means I can be a bit more careful with my research! Hurruh! I'm going to try and get most of it out in December though because I'm teaching Jan-Feb.
So, ObNoWriSu stands for Obernet Novel Writers' Summer? Isn't quite as sonorous as NaNoWriMo :-|
Kaede and Ariadne, thanks for clearing that up. For some reason, I had always imagined it to be November, Novel makes so much more sense.
Ariadne, I think the three threads you put up are awesome!! And I LOVE your signature. I reckon we should all get one, and that can serve as a kind of promotion for this.

I agree with Jossie! I got ridiculously excited when I saw the new threads :P
Thanks for setting all those threads up ariadne!!! (Awesome name by the way! You didn't happen to be abandoned by a certain Theseus, did you?)
Only two days until it begins!
I need to make something for my sig now...
Two days!!!! *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *falls off cliff*
Thanks Bun! Don't mind if I do! :D *steals*
Thanks, Bunne and Ari!! :) They look awesome!
Another thing I was thinking about: maybe we could start up our own individual OberNoWriSu threads, so we can maybe post up our progress, and maybe put up links to the bits that we've written? I've got a blog dedicated just to my writing. I realise that we are not supposed to be editing the work, but getting some feedback always helps the inspiration to flow.
Or is that what the motivation thread is used for?
Just a thought :D
I'm also very excited. TOMORROW IS THE DAY!

That's a good idea, Jossie. I was going through the Oberblogs just before and wondering if we could do something similar for this, although it wouldn't have to be actual blogs on the site. Maybe Writersmerge could have a sub-board for OberNoWriSu where we have our own threads and post updates?

maybe we could each have a post in the motivation thread that we can update as needed. If that gets too confusisng we ciould go for individual threads?

I like the sub-board idea Bunne! Then everything OberNoWriSu would be kept together and neat. I don't know how much work goes into making sub-forums and such though :)
I agree with Kaede, I like the sub forum idea. That also helps with promoting the idea, and perhaps it can be an annual thing that we do! I'd certainly be up for it, rather than the NaNoWriMo - the fact that ours is at a more suitable time for me, and plus we have our own community of supporters and we will encourage each other :)

Would need to discuss this with the MoOs.
I didn't have that problem Bunne. It must be a very minor detail. By the way, I couldn't get the URL to work.
Back to work already and ran out of time :( I was just so busy these holidays that I didn't have time to write heaps.
How did everyone else go?
