Site Update
As the monthly essence for November hinted, National Novel Writing Month is upon us!
We will affectionately be referring to it by its well-known acronym, NaNoWriMo. :3
If you're unfamiliar wit the phenomenon, NaNoWriMo is a project that challenges you to write a 50,000-word novel within the 30 days of the month! I know many of you look forward to trying to make your fingers fall off every November, and we'd like to invite you to post your work here on Aywas for some appropriately-themed prizes. n_n
In a (hopefully welcome) change this year, we are setting the deadline for participating in NaNoWriMo on Aywas to December 10th at 11:59 p.m.
Here's all the links you'll need:
NaNoWriMo 2014
Post your stories here! This is publicly visible.
If you want your work removed from the site after the event is over and prizes have been distributed, we will certainly do that for you upon request.
Private NaNo Logs 2014 - Coming Soon!
If you don't want your work visible to the public, you will be able to utilize the private forum instead.
Only you and staff will be able to see your threads, and we will happily remove them from the site upon request after the month is over and prizes have been handed out.
I will let you know when the private section is available. You may write offline in the meantime and post your work once the area is up and running.
Whether you use the public space or private area, you must follow the NaNo instructions!
We have also created a new FAQ thread for any questions that you run into.
And, of course, there are prizes!
(They stack, so the more you write, the more goodies you accumulate.)
1,000 - participation item.
5,000 - pet item.
10,000 - HA set.
25,000 - Defense items.
50,000 - Forum title, exclusive fauna and an exclusive site theme/background.
Good luck to all of our aspiring novelists, hobby writers, wordsmiths, and everyone in between!
(And hopefully your work doesn't end up eating you...)

Very excited!!! I had to miss most of the first week due to a trip out of town but have been writing ever since I got back and broke 15k last night. :3 Now don't mind me, I'll just be here waiting patiently(ish) for the private forums to open. :D
