Word of advice: Not a good idea to post Fanfiction on these boards, especially something based on a Jim Butcher world.

Speaking as someone who has writen fanfiction, it is not a good idea to post any fanfic story where the author of the original story has any chance to see it. I know of one author who had to scrap her novel she was writing, because someone posted a fanfic based in her universe that was too simular to the novel she was writing. She also forbid any fanfics based in her universe until recently.

It's a legal thing --- If I was to post a Dresden Files fanfic to these boards, and it happens that the story was simular to a story Jim was writing, I could claim he plagerized my story. Now, Jim has to spend time and money in a court case, defending himself on a false charge, Not a good thing.

(For the record, I don't write Dresden Files fanfiction, or much fanfiction these days. When I did, I was writing in the areas of anime and Battletech.)

Hmm.  I've got three things I could start, but one's epic in length, so it won't nearly be finished.  The other is probably going to be closer to 70,000, and that seems like a bit much to try and get done.  The only other idea I have right now is probably too short, totally no more than 30,000 if I stretch it.  That's why I was thinking they gave you some sort of vague topic or subject, that might give me an idea just for this one-month thing.

You don't have to complete the novel in November, just write 50,000 words of the novel during the month....

So I'm thinking about participating in National Novel Writing Month.  I've never done it before.  I'm looking at the site, and I guess I'm confused.  I thought they had some sort of subject or topic we're supposed to start with, and then we go from there.  Is it just anything we think of?

The object is to write at least 50,000 words of a novel in November. Novels can be in any genere, and precision is not required -- It's just putting your nose to the grindstone and cranking out at least 50,000 words in 30 days. That's it.
