shadowycorner Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Hello all wonderful people! We've embarked on this crazy NaNo season yet again, and I know it can be tough, but I for one believe it's worth it if it gets you focused on your project(s), maybe finish a story, or just generally gets you writing after a longer slump. I love this community and believe that all those stubborn muses that are too sleepy or aggravated by this weather need to be prodded a little by some motivation, and so I'd love to offer little presents and rewards for hitting the NaNo wordcount milestones! I believe they are as follows: 1667 words, 5K, 10K, 25K, 40K ! Now I know some of you are aiming for smaller wordcounts, which is absolutely fair and valid, so I'd still love to help with your milestones, which can be divided into thirds? So like if you're aiming for 10K, you get a reward for every 3K? Something like that? Like as long as you'll do the math of your goal, I'm okay with that For every milestone, I will give you a review for whatever you desire, or make a picspam of your story/chapter/character, or anything else that is within my abilities (like if you want me to compose a cheering song for you, I'll give it a go). Disclaimer: I'm also doing NaNo and things might get busy, so sometimes I will possibly need more time to deliver the reward, the reviews probably won't be essay-ish, and as we get closer to the end, some of those rewards might have to wait until December. So as long as you're cool with that, write away, reach those goals and milestones, have fun and let me know! Please fill out a form when posting: username: type of reward: review (link + title/chapter number)/picspam/something else milestone hit: add link either to the NaNo website where your progress bar is, or show any other fanciful evidence you might have And that's it!
lostinthelightss Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 ELI!!! I love this idea and I'm gonna be greedy and snap up the first spot!! username: maraudertimes type of reward: i leave it up to you, im cool with a review on the chapter, a picspam if you wanna, whatever sparks your fancy! story (m), and my unfinished pinterest milestone hit: 1667 words (hit over 2k!), but the biggest milestone was finally writing the first real chapter of Ladies of Chaos woooooo!
shadowycorner Posted November 2, 2020 Author Posted November 2, 2020 Yay Lo I was hoping you'd stop by! It's done, thank you so much for writing this, it was such a fun chapter! I hope I see you back soon with another milestone!
Darling_take_off_the_mask Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Eli, you're the hero we don't deserve. I live for your picspams, so here I am to celebrate a productive first day of NaNo! username: RonsGirlFriday type of reward: I would love a picspam! Do you think you could try one for Ginny/Luna? Here's my +Pinterest board, I'm still working on building a lot of the aesthetics, but there's a fair amount of Ginny and Luna there. Ginny is strong-willed and a brilliant horsewoman, Luna is free-spirited and adventurous. Do with them whatever you like! milestone hit: 1667 words (I did over 2K on Day 1! ) Here's my +NaNo project/profile page Thank you!
shadowycorner Posted November 2, 2020 Author Posted November 2, 2020 @RonsGirlFriday sooo, um, i made three?? Is that okay? Just cos I found how to play with new templates and I really really love the idea of them, and like I'm only not making even more because I need to go to sleep, but I hope you like them, and please come back soon so I can make more?? I am very excited for your story as you can see, I think we will all be writing fanfic of your fanfic soon! Cos like... Gunny is dreaming and remembering in this one, about all the good times And a similar version because why not (probably after luna's left, the sea being prominent) Ginny/Luna is happy writing Melanie, be back soon!
Darling_take_off_the_mask Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 ELI You're amaaaaaazing. I love these sooooo so much. THANK YOU!
tatapb Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Eli my love, you're a madlad!! This is possibly the nicest thing eveeeeer Okay, so I had to change my NaNo Project a bit because I got hella Witch Slap angry!muse after ffn botched my latest chapter. Which means I've been writing it pretty much nonstop since yesterday and, somehow, I've outlined all that was missing and am now attempting to finish the sodden thing No plan survives first impact with NaNo. username: tatapb type of reward: review for sure, my muse feeds on them on either Witch Slap or Crumpled and Sharp milestone hit: 1667 and 5k
shadowycorner Posted November 3, 2020 Author Posted November 3, 2020 @tatapb Two chaos reviews for two awesome chapters for two brilliant milestones! See you at the next one

See you at the next one OMGGGGG you reviewed and they were the SWEETEST!!!! And I'm back because a) I leeched off them like a leech hence b) I'm SLAYING this NaNo (even if it isn't technically what I should be writing). username: tatapb type of reward: review for sure, my muse feeds on them on either Witch Slap or Crumpled and Sharp milestone hit: 10k
shadowycorner Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 @la_topolina & @tatapb both reviews done you wonderful writers! omg i loved both of these chapters so much!! this is so difficult, because like i want to keep reading so bad, but my NaNo project (and laundry and shopping list and all the dust and hair on my floor) is eyeing me suspiciously so that means you simply need to come back with that next milestone !
Darling_take_off_the_mask Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 So ummm I finally pushed myself over the 5K hurdle and would love another picspam if you're not too bogged down? username: RonsGirlFriday type of reward: Do you think you could do a George/Angelina picspam? Vibe is sort of soft, friends-to-lovers. But if nothing inspires you on that one, any picspam from you will do! +Pinterest board milestone hit: 5K (+NaNoWriMo profile showing current count 6,497 words)
magemadi Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 eli you wonderful human being!! username: magemadi type of reward: picspam maybe? whatever you desire milestone hit: 10k words+ (currently approaching 13k)
shadowycorner Posted November 10, 2020 Author Posted November 10, 2020 @RonsGirlFriday so making these makes me so eager for all these romantic plot lines! I'm just... Feeling very romancey Haha they're all the same again because I can't resist using the same nice pics for different templates. I added outdoors because I suppose they like to run around doing some Regency equivalent of qudditch and have picnics and swing in swings? Angelina does the pushing and George the swinging of course I hope you like themmm @magemadi I'd love to make one for you, do you have anything in mind in terms of aesthetic or character or color style? I'm guessing this is for Planetary Boundaries?
abhorsen. Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 username: @abhorsen. type of reward: review to +whatever shenanigans nonsense you want? milestone hit: 1/3 of my 11,492 wc goal (don't judge me for the weird wc goal plz, proof is on lo's spreadsheet )

Will hopefully get to it tomorrow

I'm guessing this is for Planetary Boundaries? omg I am so sorry for not specifying! Yes, it'd be for Planetary Boundaries, so anything you feel that's like, space station/space ship aesthetic works for me
shadowycorner Posted November 14, 2020 Author Posted November 14, 2020 @magemadi So I got carried away with the planet and space theme instead of space station, so I'm happy to do that later and hope you like these in the meantime (virtually the same, just learning how to use fonts now!)
shadowycorner Posted November 14, 2020 Author Posted November 14, 2020 @abhorsen. I read and reviewed two chapters of your newest, and loved it! I hope to see you back for another milestone, as more of mathematically absurd will be SWEET AND GOOD for everyone!!
magemadi Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 omg @shadowycorner i love them so much!! I hope to be back tomorrow night with my 25k goal!
Darling_take_off_the_mask Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 @shadowycorner Eliiiiii thank you for those dreamy picspams!!
