Honestly, I don't know where else to put this. I would have tried the Whatever sub-forum but I fear for it getting lost in the deep sea of spam.

Anyway~
I was wondering if there were any plans for a panel/meetup or if there was anyone else interested in meeting up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).

NaNoWriMo is an event that takes place every year from November 1st to November 30th. Participants from all over the world battle against time to whip out 50,000 words of a novel in the time frame of one month. Sleep is lost, bodies are caffeinated at dangerously high levels, your inner editor dies, and you push yourself to write, write, WRITE. There is no prize for typing/writing out 50,000 words. Just the satisfaction of beating the deadline and a little webby sticker proclaiming you the winner.
More info available @ nanowrimo.org.

I thought it would be a fun idea to gather a group late at night on October 31st. People could support one another and we could have word wars. Some could bring/share snacks and caffeinated goodies as people mercilessly scribble and type their novels.

Yeah, I know that it really isn't related to Oni-Con or the anime/manga/Japanese pop culture scene. I was just getting pumped up for the official site's registration date approaching (October 1st) and realized that NaNoWriMo begins the same weekend as Oni-Con. Then, I got curious as to see if there were any other NaNoWriMo warriors out there going to Oni-Con.
