This self-motivated challenge is to write a story that is at least 50k words long within a month. Anyone who decides to take on this challenge and complete it will receive an achievement from RRL. 


You can go to the official site for NaNoWriMo, to see how many people are participating in this challenge and where in the world they’re from.





Sign up


Just mark your fiction with [NaNoWriMo] in its title, then link to it in this thread. It’s that simple. Feel free to make a post about participating before you start writing the story.


Rules

1. No spam. You can't just repeat the word ‘watermelon’ 50,000 times. 

2. Rules are subject to change without notice.

3. The fiction must be submitted for approval after November 1st starts in your respective time zone. Previously existing fictions don’t count. It has to be written within the month of November. However, we have no way of preventing you from writing the story beforehand and just posting it now. This is a self-challenge so all you’re cheating is yourself. 

4. Your story must break the 50k goal by 11:59pm November 30th. Writing 50k words in and of it itself isn’t too hard; the hard part is figuring out how to end it. Feel free to keep writing past the NaNoWriMo if you don’t want to rush an ending and would prefer to just continue your story. It’s the writing that’s important!

Reward

Anyone who completes a story of at least 50,000 words will receive a limited-edition NaNoWriMo achievement to display beside their name. People who try and fail will get a decent chunk of writing done.


Ready? You will have to write approximately 1,667 words every day to reach 50k. Let the challenge begin!

I shall wander into this competition and suspend all duels on November! Now, let's write that first chapter and show WriTE is superior when writing to the end!

I plan on participating in this year's NaNoWriMo. This time, I won't fail like I did last year.

Crystal Heart, I hope I can make it this year!

I wasn't planning on participating, but since I started a new story idea I might as well join.

Shadows Cast by Gods

I'm new to RR, but I am currently participating in NaNoWriMo and plan to release my novel, The Glitch Fiends, here on RR.  What's typically a good day to post a story?  I thought I'd post my first chapter on the site tomorrow.

Looks pretty fun. I'm in.
But i'm kinda late to begin with, so high possibility that I won't finish it.
But, we'll see. 

Here's mine: http://royalroadl.com/fiction/9164

Update: Done, passed 50k words.

Update #2: 54,841 words in total.

This thread scares me.

Really?
Cause it's tempted me for two years now.

So, as a serious question. Mines not done, it was set for [NaNoWriMo], and is post 50k, but I didn't want to add it to the title... Will I still get the achievement?

No worries if not. I just... I think "[NaNoWriMo]" looks... Dirty.

is that achievement still valid? im closing in for the kill soon.

so im done. just waiting for the novel to be made complete.

[NaNoWriMo] A Flower's Promise to a Reaper's Lover

Here's mine! And wish me luck, I have a bit more than 3 days to write 40,000 more words...lol I should have started earlier, but jetlag killed me along with Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I'm also slowly posting what I've written (some written parts are future chapters so all 10,000 written words haven't been posted as of this post).

And in case anyone is wondering, this story is my attempt to be very graphic, so please give heed to the warnings in the synopsis before reading.

So I've completed mine, more or less, and the question stands.
Does the story need to be marked complete in order for it to be valid? Or is linking it to this thread the only thing you have to do?
