Final NaNo count: 64,928.
As previously mentioned, I learned a few important things. First, that I should always stick to doing a daily word count when doing NaNoWriMo. Second, that my place in this literary world (at least in regards to fiction) is writing fanfiction, not original stuff. I actually had quite an epiphany about how exactly it is that my brain works that allows me to write fanfiction (it's related to mathematics and social dynamics, and came to me via reading this wonderful book (which is well written and quite engaging and not at all about genetics: The Math Gene by Keith Devlin) ) It involves imaginary "furniture" in imaginary "houses" among other things.
Speaking of NaNo stories... I have two needs. Or rather, I have two stories that I really would like to finish and make into post-able stories, and would like beta-ish help on them. If you're interested? Please let me know either via comments or email. (cybermathwitch (at) gmail (dot) com)
Folie a Deux is a BSG Kara/Lee epic-y sort of story involving the two of them "remembering" all sorts of different lives past, future, and alternate present in order to come to a realization about their place in one another's life. (And doesn't that sound all sorts of philosophical? giggle Don't worry - there's smut, too. and Pilot!Babies.)
Fade and Remain is a Harry/Ginny/Luna fic (seriously, check out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
flamingnargle ) that takes place after the events of Deathly Hallows (it's cannon up to that point, with some supposition about what's going on during the books that we may not see) and disregards the Epilogue entirely. It's primary purpose is a vehicle for the 'ship, but I'm also trying to work out an actual plot involving the Elder Wand.
Both of these have at *least* 50,000 words in them, so they're already pretty big (and a big mess, technically as they were written in a sort of "free-for-all" manner) - right now what I really need for these is a new perspective about where I might need to go with them, as well as some reaction to what I've already got. Grammatical editing is always appreciated, but it isn't the primary thing I'm looking for in a beta - *especially* at the stage I'm at. I'm going mostly for story editing at this point.
