Site Update
The illustrious National Novel Writing Month is well underway!
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. *u*
We are setting the deadline for participating in NaNoWriMo on Aywas to December 15th at 11:59 p.m.
Here's all the links you'll need:
NaNoWriMo 2015
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 2015
If you don't want your work visible to the public, you can 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.
Whether you use the public space or private area, you must follow the NaNo instructions!
We have also created a FAQ thread for any questions that you run into.
And, of course, there are prizes!
(They are stackable, 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.
So if you write 50,000+ words, you get all prizes above. If you only hit 10,000 you will get the participation item, pet item, and HA set.
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 alive! D:)

Should I? I mean, I already have that 14 or so pages of nonsense I wrote.
But I don't like sharing my writing with anyone xD
Then again, I kinda wanna finish that one story I started, and it's not utter nonsense though I'll also have to change the character names so it's less personal (It'll make me feel better about it :o)
Decisions, decisions...

The prizes are tempting, but I think it's unfair to ask writers to post their stories physically on site if the censorship laws may prohibit them from counting entire sections of their writing :l

I know the question is unrelated but is the monthly item going to be posted? I check the Monthly item tab in settings each day waiting for it D;
