I currently study Maths, Physics & Psychology at AS at Sixth Form. Looks: Short with very short brown hair. Fairly stocky build. I go to Army Cadets. 'gotta love it! I'm fascinated by the Napoleonic Wars. Like whatcha hear? Message me! I'd prefer someone in the same timezone as me so that I can talk to them at reasonable times.

I would like a writing buddy! I'm Sunny. I'm fourteen and I live in Toronto, Canada. My favourite movies are How to Train Your Dragon and the Lion King, and my favourite TV shows are the Mentalist, Buffy, Firefly, Doctor Who, and the Good Wife. I love photography, platypuses, and creepy things. I have no preference for time zone (though I live in EST), so send me a message :)

OO OO pick me pick me! I want a writing buddy XD The name is Cassy, I live near Mason City, Iowa where I attend college, I'm a freshman this year.

I hope I can teach her to love writing as much as I do. I love reading, love love love it!! Mostly YA, contemporary, dystopian, and fantasy.

Call me Ouji~ I'm a peculiar little organism with a strange obsession with the two-dimensional. I am a 「fudanshi」, to put it bluntly. If you think I am strange because of this, please feel free to go get lost. As my username suggests, I find beauty in horror and the macarabe. Another quirk of mine. I keep to myself for the most part, and have a rather brutal personality, but if you find me interesting, I challenge you to get to know me. My writing this year is yaoi fanworks of the anime Yuugioh. That is all.

Hey, I'm Aaron, currently studying computer science at Brown University with fiction and Japanese on the side. I'm into game design, music hoarding, visual novels, interactive fiction, FIRST robotics, and a bunch of other stuff. I usually enjoy pestering my writing buddies, so if you've got AIM/MSN/Skype or something, that'd be neat. I'm currently trying to sort out ideas for this year's NaNo and it'd be fun to have someone to bounce ideas with. I'm also probably a better editor than writer and I'm happy to help review stuff. Well, anyway, if any of that sounds interesting, feel free to send nanomail or add me. Or, I'm psywombats on AIM and can be contacted there.

Starla101101 — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:48:22 +0100

Hey guys! So my name is Katie. I'm 17 and currently typing this during Bio class. I recently decided that I had to give up reading fanfiction for awhile to catch up on my growing pile of books I own that I haven't read yet. I watch many TV shows including: Bones, Castle, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, Glee, Merlin, Doctor Who, New Girl, My Little Pony, Buffy, Firefly and so many others. This is my third year doing NaNo and I could use some friends to help me through. I'm on here, fanfiction, skype, msn, tumblr, twitter and a few other things. So if you managed to read all of that and are still interested send me a message. Chat's with strangers are always the most interesting.

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

Etacanis — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:56:59 +0100

Yay, writing buddies! I'm Ily, 17, too close to 18. I live Glee, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Supernatural, among other things. Those are the major ones I flail about. I'm a total history and fitness nerd so. Yeah. This is my third year doing NaNo, and the only year I actually, really, have time for because I've just left school. It's nice to have someone to bitch and cheer with. I have msn/aim/tumblr/twitter and here, normally.

Hm, I'm Ashley. 15 this year, from Singapore. My main hobby are rather… obvious, though there are others. \o/ fudanshi~ Ahem. Um, I love Leverage, among other shows. Well, to be fair, I don't watch that much TV. I spend most of my time on my laptop, and messing around on IRC and FB, and Twitter. And, well, I'm bilingual, since I study English and Chinese. And since, y'know, kanji is somewhat close to Chinese~ Oh, right. And I'm in GMT+8.

lemming_the_lemming — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:11:59 +0100

I'm going to do this in the form of a list, because that's probably easier. -My name is Max. -I am 19. -Currently, I am in my first year at university. I'm doing maths. -My obsessions are mainly with anime, role playing games, sci-fi and fantasy in any form, and probably some other things. -This is going to be my third Nano. So far, I have a 100% win rate. Hopefully I can manage this even with uni work and this strange thing known as a "social life" I seem to have picked up here. -I'm a sceptic and a humanist. -I am English. -After deciding that I want to get fit whilst at uni, I signed up for Tae Kwon Do, fencing and Capoeria classes, each once a week. So far, I have been to each one once. Time will tell if I manage to keep up with any of them. -I am a Nerdfighter. -Also, a Whovian. -And a Browncoat. -For this year's Nano, I am writing something that I have been planning/worldbuilding for about 2 years.The reason it took me so long to get round to is that it will be (mainly) set at my uni. As this is my first year, had I written it sooner, it would have had no setting. This would have made things somewhat difficult. -Anyway, it is a modern fantasy, mostly concerned with fairly normal things. The whole leaving home for the first time and growing up thing, but with magic and stuff. There are quite a few things on that list. Anyway, if you want to talk about ideas, writing, or just anything, send me a Nanomail. I'll try to reply as quickly as I can. If you're going to add me as a Writing Buddy, I'd prefer it if you'd send me a message, too. That's just being polite, really. Anyway, (I've used that word three times now. Huh) I like talking to people on here, so send me a message if you're interested.

Wednesday nights on ABC are pretty much the best, I mean The Middle AND Modern Family?! Best. Ever. kdjkajflkadjlkj. As I was typing this a freaking HUGE KILLER ANT crawled onto my screen i squished it with my fingers and moved on with life. I enjoy listening to music: Matt Nathanson, Mumford and Sons, Jason Castor, ADELE, Train, Fee, Maroon 5 and so many others. If you're liking what you're reading you should send me some nano mail and we can start chatting or you can reply to this post! :D

Hey everyone! I'm new to the whole NaNoWriMo party, but I've been working on an idea that sparked to life in my head for ages, to the extent that the characters have become alter egos of mine, which is a little sad. Anywho, I'd love to have a writing buddy who I can bounce ideas off of, and get critiques and opinions and such. I'm an avid fantasy fan, and my other interests include illustrating and anime! If anyone's interested, I'm in GMT in England and will proably only contact throgh nanomial, but I'm online almost every evening.

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

ThatShan — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:34:19 +0100

Hey all, I'm Shan, 15 and in year 11. This will be my third year doing NaNo, I also did CampNaNo back in August. My idea for this year has been bouncing around my mind now although I don't actually have a plot, so it'd be cool to have someone to bounce ideas around with. I'm completely obsessed with Harry Potter, along with acting, reading and of course writing (especially fanfiction). So yeah, if anyone is interested in being writing buddies, that's cool, I'm usually on here in the evenings as well as on MSN and Tumblr.

skyslide — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:14:53 +0100

I'm Raven, 17. I technically live in Illinois, but my home is in South Dakota. I'm proudly engaged after being with him for almost all our lives. This is my second year of NaNo and I'm writing a Sci-Fi Dystopian novel. I would like a writing buddy writing something similar =) Last year I started off with a novel about a teen who was raped and got pregnant in her early teens, and was cast out by her mother. Fell in love. And then died. Which was a fictionalized version of the story of a girl I knew. But I didn't get far with that and ended up writing a collection of short stories. This year I'm using an idea I've been passionate about ever since I read Divergent by Veronica Roth for summer reading for school. So if you're interested and also writing a post-apocalyptic (not involving zombies!) or a dystopian, NaNoMail me =)

appingo — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:23:48 +0100

- Appingo, can go by Ash if that's your thing. Female. 18, USA, asexual-biromantic, Mountain Timezone which is -7MST. - That said, my sleeping schedule is better suited to an Asian timezone. My best friend lives in Korea, and I'm not in school at the moment, so my sleeping schedule shifted more to her timezone by accident. Oops. I'm up in the afternoon and all hours of the night, so for those of you in school, it shouldn't be a big deal. And I'll be a wonderful buddy if you stay up late at night sometimes. :D - I start school in January with a major in Linguistics. I speak Japanese semi-decently after living there for two years and then taking the language at a high school level for four years. - My major fandoms are Harry Potter, Hetalia, Homestuck and Umineko no Naku Koro Ni along with various JRPGs. Yes, in case you couldn't tell, I'm a bit of a fan of anime. If you're not either, though, that's okay. : ) I love getting to know new people, and we can bond through writing! - Need said, I'd just love to meet someone to bounce ideas off of, discuss our NaNos, encourage each other through November, etc. I'm not aiming for 50k this year, I'm aiming for complete on a first draft of a project that's been around since middle school. I never felt confident writing it during past NaNos because of stuff going on, but since I don't have school now, it's kind of a 'now or never' situation for me. - I have MSN and Skype, and usually pretty much always on both. - I also have no life and will check my Nanomail during all waking hours, so don't be afraid to send me a message saying hello! : )

TheBookworm — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:18:31 +0100

Hi everyone! *nervous wave* I'm Tesni. Fourteen. English. I guess I'll make a list of vaguely interesting things about myself, just because I find it easier. -this is my third year of NaNoWriMo. -I'm writing literary fiction this year, which is my favourite type of thing to read, too. -oh, and classics. I read hardly any contemporary teenage fiction. -I'm obsessed with languages. I'm currently studying German and Russian, but I know a little French, Czech and Norwegian, and I'd love to learn more of those. -I hate England and wish that I lived in Vienna or Prague or Bordeaux or somewhere. -I love photography. -I haven't taken ballet lessons since I was eight, but I still adore everything about it. -I am completely obsessed with anything and everything to do with the 1920s and '30s. I seldom meet fellow teenage enthusiasts of this era, so if you like Édith Piaf, silent films, flapper dresses, Yevgeny Zamyatin or anything then you should say hi. -I'm a knitter. I can crochet a little, but hardly. -I sing. -I'm one of those people who talks extremely quickly (and probably loudly) in the presence of her friends, but then starts stammering as soon as she has to talk in a classroom or answer a question. -I'm extremely anxious. -I play the classical guitar and double bass, and I'm trying to teach myself the piano. -I love Spring Awakening, both the play and the musical. -My favourite film is Amelie. -Victor Hugo and Anaïs Nin are my idols. Unfortunately, both are dead, so my chances of ever meeting them are, uh, pretty small. -my favourite sort of music to listen to is classical. Well, that's not really true; my favourite eras are the late Romantic and the early 20th-century, but, you know, classical is the all-encompassing term, so. My favourite composers are Shostakovich, Ravel, Gershwin, Borodin, Telemann, Penderecki (if I spelt that right), Lizt, Chopin, Elgar, Saint-Saëns and...wait, that's enough. I'm in GMT, but I'm happy to talk to anyone in any timezone. NaNoMail is my communication form of choice, so you should just send me a message if you're interested. I have next to no life, so I should reply pretty quickly. :-)

Maria, 14-going-on-15, American. All right, I can't really think of some fancy little summary, so I'll just throw down some random facts: -My favorite book (and movie) is The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. -I'm one of those people who has to listen to music no matter what I'm doing; I like too many artists to mention, so I'll just mention my top three: The Beatles, Green Day, and Sheryl Crow. -I follow the white house on twitter and actually care about what's going on in the world. -I'm a sophomore in high school. -I love fashion; besides writing, it's my artsy thing. I can't really think of anything else...so just NaNoMail me if you'd like!

Might as well make one of these... Name's Kasey or Kim... 15 years of age! Living in the middle of nowhere, Texas. I am, face to face, at least, more or less of the "shy" type. But online, I'm much different. MUCH different. Note - if you decide you wanna try to put up with me, be prepared for A) Insanity B) Randomness and C) Hyperactivity. I'm rather good at all of the above. xD Sophomore in high school (and taking the advanced classes, in case you're wondering XD) Um, I am a scifi nerd, so most of the television I watch is scifi (My favourites being Doctor Who, Stargate, Star Trek, Chuck (I dunno if that counts but... xD) Supernatural (more horror than anything, but still) Falling Skies... things along those lines) or anime (Deathnote, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist (and FMA Brotherhood), Cowboy Bebop... those types of things. I'm a music addict. I listen to almost anything. And by almost anything, we're talking easy listening (Michael Buble anyone?) to country (Chris Young? Toby Keith? Kenny Chesney? the lists, they go on and on...) to metal (Metallica!!) to rock/altrock/punk/80's/some pop... the list just goes on and on and on, and I'm always open to suggestions. Oh, and I do love the band Muse, for the record XD I am a twitter addict. For real. (You can follow me if you like - @NotAMouseh

Breeding the two of 'em pretty soon) -and 1 barn cat -I'm obsessed with Country Music -I was born and raised in the South -I was raised as a boy -And I'm one of 4 girls. No boys. My poor father. -I really like smilies. I've gotten better with them, though ;) -I'm a L3/4 Parelli Natural Horsemanship Student -I also follow other Natural Horsemanship trainers such as Carolyn Resnik, Karen Rohlf, Mark Rashid and etc. -I'm 15 -I live in a super small town in the California Foothills. Everyone knows everyone *rolls eyes* -I'm into Natural Medicine. Aka Homeopathy and Herbology -I hate driving -I'm apprenticed to an awesome Natural Horsemanship trainer down the hill -Uh, I think that that is everything I can think of :) If you want to know more feel free to NaNo Me :)

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

wooshicle14 — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:42:37 +0100

I'm Megan and I'm 15, a sophomore (10th grade) in high school. I'm American and I go by EST for chatting purposes. This is my second year doing NaNo. Last year I fell about 20,000 words short, but a friend of mine who was doing it with me crossed the finish line with ease. What you should take away from that: I'm an excellent pep-talker! Anyway, this year I am determined to win, because honestly, I can't take another year of shame. I'm a Nerdfighter. I love Hank and John Green, Maureen Johnson, ALL CAPS, Charlie McDonnell, Alex Day, et al. I love to read and I read almost everything from Jane Austen to Harry Potter to Bill Bryson. I like most genres. I have an addiction to cheesy romance novels and my current genre obsession is travel memoirs. I love Doctor Who, anything created by Joss Whedon, Torchwood, the Middle...I watch a lot of TV. I have no idea what I would do without Netflix. I'm a huge nerd, good grades and all that. I study both French and Latin, but one day I want to learn all the romance languages. I also really like history. Right now, I'm taking this AP European History class that I absolutely love, despite the homework. I also love English, obviously. This year I just want a lot of support to figuratively kick me over the finish line. I'm available via e-mail, NaNoMail, Facebook, Twitter, and Skype (video, voice, and sms).

Violet James — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 01:32:37 +0100

Splendid thread idea! This is my second year of NaNoWriMo, so I'm not a vetren but I still had enouph of a good time to do it again (I can't actually remember most of it, simply the YEAH 1,667 words *fist pump* moments at the end of each day), so that has to count for something. I have fifteen years and have been writing creatively for *finger counts* seven of them. I am a terribly curious person and I have a tendency to do what I shouldn't. I love the Sex Pistols, Billy Idol, Gen. X, and other punk rock bands. I also listen to jazz, classical, alternative, rock, reggae, trance, and some things I am clueless on how to catagorize. Outside of writing I play bass guitar, cosplay, and jog. I would love to review anyone's stories! Although I am not much help with grammer and spelling I am rather good (and oh so modest) at correcting the more important components. Plus I want some new reading material... I do not watch television, I do enjoy foriegn films of any genre though! Mail me if you want to chat!

Hi. I'd like a writing buddy. :D I'm Justiny (female). I'm a Christian. Unschooled. Seventeen years old but I believe that I act a lot younger. [x I reeeeally like to write fantasy and that's what I'm writing this year. I write poetry. Sometimes my writing gets pretty dark. This is my third year doing NaNo, hopefully my second year winning. I have an obsession with makeup and I do it pretty dramatic sometimes (yes, I wear it that way in public too ahaha). But I am a bit of a tomboy. I like to hang with the guys, I think they're more fun. I'm vegetarian, an aspiring vegan. I'm obsessed with music. I play video games. I have no interest in manga/anime. My favorite author is Ted Dekker. There's much more about me but I'm a bit wary talking about myself. I have Facebook, Tumblr, e-mail, and NaNoMail, of course. [:

She's been very sick, and is very brave and strong, and since I live so far away it's my way of letting her know how much I love her and admire her. -Now I'm feeling all sentimental. -I don't like romance in real life. Relationships are okay, but emotion (love) is a huge turn-off. -I hope to get over that one day. -Klaine. -My other favorite movie is How To Train Your Dragon. MY GOD THAT IS A GOOD MOVIE. -Miyazaki is God. -I could go on for hours, but I'll stop myself here.

Hey everyone! Things to know: -I'm fifteen years old, and this is not my first novel attempt (but it is my first NaNoWriMo.) -I really want to win. -I'd like another newbie to be my buddy (nothing against experience!) -I'd like someone in my time zone (I live on the west coast of the USA) so we can have WORD WARS!!!! -I'm a LOT more interesting than this list, but I didn't want to post a bunch of wordiness because I didn't think anyone would read it. :/ Just shoot me a message if you'd like to be my buddy. :) Thanks!

children, listen, please

hello. this is my fourth time trying nanowrimo, and by extension, my fourth time trying to write an introduction so that people will want to be my friend. oh, god, the things i do for the internet. i'm sonia, a first year at the university of chicago. i turned 18 a couple of months ago. i am a little bit awkward and very endearing. so, we did intros to get to know each other at college, and this one guy did one about how fantastic he is, and now he has lots of friends. moral? yeah... things about me: i am slow at typing, i am very affectionate, i do not know how to handle cold weather (worst winter in the country, what up), i was born in india but i only speak english, i get most of my music from triple j top 100, my desk is littered with cans of ginger ale. what i can offer you: absolutely nothing. what i'd like: everything you have to offer. i am impatient with myself and i'm extremely critical of myself too. i think i'd like someone to remind me that i don't do this because i want to write the best novel in the world but that i'm doing this because i love the way i feel when i am creating something. i will do the same for you. i will also read anything you'd like me to and will gush over it. i am working on constructive criticism. i... damn, i don't know, guys. have a great november. cheers, xoxo, sonia.

Writing buddies are always fun. I guess I'll give it a try I'm fifteen going on sixteen in December. Sophomore in high school. I live in Colorado, the home of the Brown Palace and Stanley Hotel (I just adore haunted places). I wish I could travel with the Doctor, I'm a Hufflepuff according to Pottermore, but since I like combining things, I classify myself as a Ravenpuff. I still have major Hufflepuff pride though. As you can tell I'm a complete potterhead, but I'm also a gleek (Klaine is my OTP), whovian, supernatural fan, a hardcore stelena shipper in the Vampire Diaries world. Those are basically my television addictions (other than all the geeky cartoons I watch) I'm also a graphic designer, looking into this program at Pickens Tech for high school students that I'm thinking of getting into next year. I have a passion for writing (obviously) but most of the things I've written are just short stories and random poems. I haven't been involved in nano for years. Other writings I've done are on gaiaonline (this roleplaying website for writers) and that's a great way of contacting me. If you want to know my username there, just message me if you can. Other things I'm involved in are that I'm a proud member of my school's GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) even if none of my friends want to join in there. What else is there......oh, yeah, I'm on Mountain time, so if you aren't in a reasonable time zone, my replying schedule might be a little off. I do love meeting new people though, so yes. Feel free to talk to me about anything. I'm pretty open-minded. I also love the Beatles. Just thought I'd mention that.

Hey, I'm Dario. I'm sixteen. I'll be seventeen in October 20. The only thing I can think of that might interest you in being my writing buddy is that I'm a bear. Other than that I'm looking forward to the experience I may gain from this, seeing as how this is my first time participating.

World. Hi. I'm Madeline. Seventeen (Dammit, I'm SIXTEEN. Not seventeen. Why do I keep doing that?). Nerdfighter. I know you're just skimming this to see if I sound sort of interesting/your type. So let's cut to the chase, shall we? I love jazz and I play alto sax. Other instrumentalists out there? Represent! I sail in the summertime, so obviously not now time. I'd love to get sailory-nerdy with someone out there. Also I'm an EMT. Any aspiring doctors/nurses/etc in the crowd? 3rd year doing NaNo. '09 was a win. '10 was a loss. Junior in high school. Taking a lot of challenging classes. Unlike most people here, I do not like manga. Or anime. Or comic sans. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere. Also, unlike most everyone here, I don't have a massive repertoire of TV shows I watch. Glee, New Girl, and The Daily Show (on occasion). That's it. Honestly, my bio is on my pagey thing. If you're interested by now, go there. Otherwise, that probably isn't going to change. I'm looking for some writing pals or buddies or special friends to keep me moving this November. Hit me up!

Hi everyone, I'm Lauren, I'm 16 and I live in Australia. This is my first year with NaNoWriMo and I'm extremely excited. Unfortunately, November is the month when all of my school exams take place, so this is going to be a challenge, but I'm up for it :) I have been addicted to Science Fiction in all its forms since I was 6. Preferably: any of the Stargates (SG1, Atlantis, Universe) Firefly/Serenity, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Fringe, Sanctuary .....etc. I also love Castle, NCIS, Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Glee, Futurama/Simpsons.... I've been writing since I was 9, and I have been reading fanfiction for years, and writing fanfiction going on one year now. I tend to have 'childish' moments, not immature, but I get excited easily over little things. (my most recent moment) Being given a TARDIS (from Doctor Who) cookie jar that makes the sounds and all :) My writing tends to be a lot more mature and better-worded then when I speak, usually because I have this habit of speaking extremely fast :/ I'd like a writing buddy, someone to talk to about writing, movies.....well anything, so feel free to mail me. ~ Lauren :)

Philip Young — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:16:37 +0100

Well, uh... My name is Bryan. It's nice to meet everyone. This is going to be my first NaNoWriMo, so I'm really quite amped! I live in California, so I go by PST. The main genre is Fantasy. Sometimes I might dabble in other genres as well, but I find myself writing Fantasy the most. My favorite movie is probably Blade Runner, an old movie with loads of awsomeness. I usually listen to Post-Hardcore Music, mostly Fightstar, Alexisonfire, and Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, but sometimes I listen to other genres of music as well. I'm very procrastinistic (I don't think that's a word), so I need someone to egg me on! I tend to be quite shy in person, so... yeah. My usual writing times are afterschool, from around 6 - 10 pm, but sometimes I find myself playing Minecraft more often than not... Oh, and I'm a guy, if you didn't know.

TheLobster — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:45:32 +0100

Hello. I'm 17 years old, and I'm a girl from Norway. My name is Marit. I'm really shy when it comes to giving info about my novel etc., but I'd love to just have someone to talk to, if you know what I mean. Also, my English isn't perfect. I'm actually writing my novel in English this year, just to improve my English. - 2nd year doing NaNoWriMo. I failed last year, but I'll try to finish this time! - I love fantasy books. Harry Potter (Seriously, MY LIFE. I've been at HP summer camps, where I have been a "student at Hogwarts" for 7 days. It's so awesome. I'm proud to be a Hufflepuff, btw.), Gone series, His Dark Materials ... and lots of other books. - I love Disney. Not the "Hannah Montana" stuff, ugh. I love The Lion King (best movie EVER), Tarzan, The Little Mermaid etc. I also love Tangled. - I really like movies like How To Train Your Dragon and Wall-E etc. - Other favorite movies: Avatar, V for Vendetta, Pirates of Caribbean, A Little Princess ... and much more x) - I really like Doctor Who, but I just recently started watching, so please don't spoil anything! I'm somewhere in season 2, with the 10th doctor. - I also really like manga and anime. (Death Note, Kuroshitsuji, Last Exile, Toradora, Ouran High School Host Club ... and much more.) And Pokemon has a special place in my heart. - And I absolutely ADORE The Moomins! Holy carp, I love it. Snufkin ftw! xD - I really want to learn Japanese. I don't know any Japanese, but I just want to learn it XD - I love roleplaying. - I can listen to almost anything when it comes to music. I really love soundtracks, though. Especially Hans Zimmer. - I love to play piano, but I'm not very good or anything. I just play for fun, following tutorials on youtube, etc. - I love to draw. I'm not bad at it either, but I have A LOT to learn. A LOT. Digital artist, btw. And I love deviantArt.com. If you have a user, tell me? You'll earn a watcher! :3 - I'm doing OK in school. I'm not a perfect student, but I guess I'm above average. School's boring, though. xD Sorry for the long list .___. I like long lists, but ... not everyone does ._. Feel free to contact me via NaNoMail, or if you want, you can contact me on deviantArt, my username is TiramSmiles. I don't bite! 8D

DragonShade — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 22:21:44 +0100

Hey, I'm Koral. -waves- I'm more looking for someone to chat withm, and more importantly to kick my butt when I'm behind on my word goal, as I usually am. Lists seem to be the popular thing, so here I go. ~You want to know how old I am? Mwahaha, too bad. :P Though if you take a look around my profile it shouldn't be that hard to figure out. ~I've been doing NaNo on and off since '07, but won for the first time over Camp NaNo in August. I shall NEVER loose again. :) ~I am only SLIGHTLY obsessed with dragons. Slightly. ;) ~I live and breathe fantasy. Harry Potter, Inheritace cycle, anything by Bryan Davis, Chris D'lacy or Garth Nix... I hold my books more precious to me than my own soul. (Which I have yet to sell, to everyone's surprise.) There are thousands more, but I really don't have the time. ~I know NOTHING about Anime, please spare me! ~My current obsession is BBC Merlin, but please don't spoil anything! I'm only in the start of season two, but I would so give up half my limbs to marry Collin or Bradley in a heartbear. ~I love music /almost/ as much as I love books. Almost. I like pretty much anything aside from rap, but a few of my favorites are Imogen Heap, Evenesence, Regina Spektor, Celtic Woman, and Emmy Rossum. ~I don't watch much TV except what I occasionally dig up on netflix when I decided I want to draw out my Merlin obsession, but old, proper disney movies are the bomb. :) I've also seen pretty much every Mythbusters episode and LOVE the old Beauty and the est TV show. ~My artistic levels are currently at zero, but I still try. While I can't draw to save my life 3D art is something I'm actually good at and I love to make my own jewelry. ~I have this annoying wanderlust in my veins and a strange fasination for the supernatural. It makes an interesting combination that can scare a lot of people off, but if you can relate I would LOVE to talk to you. :) I could go on and on, but if you wanna chat send me a message. I LOVE to talk and don't really care why you message me or when, just that you do.

Soquel — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 22:36:09 +0100

Oooh, I'd like a writing buddy! Hello, Soquel here! I'm a 14 year old girl and I live in Alaska. This will be my first year of NaNoWriMo and hopefully not my last, depending on how this one goes. I'm planing on writing something about *drumroll please xp* a girl, a ghost, a guitar, and a school bus! Wow, that was a pathetic excuse for a description, but it was the best I could do with one sentence :-) I actually did sit down and try to write an outline last night, and much to my surprise, it went okay! Although I doubt you want to read a several page description of my awful novel so I'll just leave it at that. I'm mostly doing NaNoWriMo for fun and for the experience, but also because since I'm homeschooling this year I have lots of time on my hands, where as I might not in the future, so I'm sort of seizing the opportunity to just write like crazy XD Anyways, if someone would like be writing buddies with me that would make me super happy! I think you can contact me through NaNoMail. Bye :-)

Hi, I'm Kerry. A writing buddy would be great, especially considering that this is my first year doing Nano. Like alot of other people, I figure it's probably easier to make a list. -I'm 17 -live Saskatchewan, Canada - on a farm -Grade 12 student - near the top of my class -watch Castle, Bones, Glee, and the Big Bang Theory -read just about anything, but mainly sci-fi and fantasy (Jim Butcher is the best) -on a bit of a comic book kick right now -play enough videogames (Love Portal and Zelda) - ... I like most of my classes? If anyone's interested, why not send me a Nanomail?

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

natprouvaire — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 22:49:04 +0100

I suppose I'll just follow the precedent set by the previous posters and list some various facts about myself: - My name's Nat, I'm a trans* queer English teenager (fifteen, if you'd like me to be exact). - I'm an insomniac so I'm usually up all night, sometimes my internet gets shut off though so my actual correspondence times may be a little iffy. - I am basically able to converse through nearly every method you can think of internet-wise - however, I do spend an awful lot of time on tumblr complaining about my daily life! I also use Nanomail, skype, Facebook, etc. etc. - if you have it, chances are I probably do too. - Musical theatre is basically my favourite thing in the entire world. I'm currently involved in a production of Sweeney Todd but if you want to talk about basically any musical I am a FONT OF LOVE AND KNOWLEDGE. - Les Mis is my main fandom - book and musical. I also really love: Buffy, Harry Potter, Glee (despite thousands of problems I complain about basically every week), Discworld (and most especially Jonathan Teatime who is a conglomeration of everything I find attractive in a fictional character), Doctor Who, Dead Like Me, etc. etc. - I may have a slightly unhealthy obsession with serial killers. Ah, okay, I think that may be enough facts. Hopefully they haven't put you off me completely. And now all of you lovely people should talk to me and I will sit in my little corner staring hopefully at my laptop screen and putting off my homework.

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

mamaleh6994 — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:26:08 +0100

Hi, everyone! My name's Kelsey, and I'm seventeen years old and a senior in high school. As for a few background things about me: I'm a Christian first and foremost, but I absolutely adore learning about other cultures and religions. I have two older siblings, one sister and one brother. I live in Southern California, which means PST time if you're interested. I've been at the same private school since preschool. (Yes, that means I've been there fifteen years.) No, I don't think it's particularly weird to have been there for so long ... mainly because that's all I've ever known! My graduating class is 18, and that's actually pretty large for my school, so I guess you could say that I'm kind of in a bit of a bubble. (This also means that I'm pretty much going to be interested in every aspect of your life. Just warning you now.) I have participated and won NaNoWriMo for the past three years, and I can't wait to try again this year. My technique isn't all that complicated: I get up to around 15,000 words, procrastinate until around November 25th, then race to get in the last 35,000 words in five days. Somehow, I've been able to do it. I like to say this is because of the fact that I have no life. This year, though, I have a part-time job, so we'll see if it'll still work. Basically, I'm just looking for someone to chat with during the month. I love meeting new people of all ages/genders/whatever, so I'm open to talking to any of you! I have an AIM account that I'm on basically everyday, so I'm more than willing to chatting with you guys. Happy NaNoing! Oh, and a couple more random things you should know about me: - I have been a Nerdfighter for the past three years. - I am definitely a Potterhead. - I'm also a starkid fan. - Doctor Who and The Office are my favorite tv shows. - I pretty much read almost every genre except for horror, because I'm a wimp. - I can act 40 years old, and then the next moment be a 5 year old going crazy over things like Disney and Veggietales. - I've been writing since third grade. Anything else, go ahead and ask! :)

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

bythequill_moe — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:27:21 +0100

Hi everyone, I'm Moe. I am nineteen year old Time Lady and I'm looking for a buddy who is preferably in university right now. I'd like someone who can challenge me - word wars are a passion of mine XD Anyways, my list of things you probably should know... - I've been doing nano four about five years but only won once, back in my first year. I really want to win again - I'm a second year BSc Psychology student and I live in the EST timezone of Canada, in Ontario. - I tend to be a night owl, sleep til noon, procrastinate, and ramble on. I'm sarcastic, clumsy, and I like to think that I am somewhat intelligent. I have a hard time making decisions, value honesty more than anything, and try to be optimistic. I've been told I'm blunt and I do get mood swings sometimes - ups and downs - it's nothing major but it's something about me. Just like the fact that I am an extremely picky eater. - I try to be respectful and nice to everyone. I'm open to friends of all orientations, races, fandoms, sexes, genres, species, and so forth. Not to be cliched, but I am Canadian. Means I'm polite and nice, right? It's okay if you don't think that though, everyone has their own opinion. - I actually don't belong here in Canada, even though I love the snow. My TARDIS is broken and I'm actually looking for my way back to Gallifrey. I may have to make do with a delorean. - I work at my university's library part time... I love books. - Some of my favourite books include Harry Potter (naturally), Slaughterhouse Five, Child 44, 1984, The Book Thief, and A Song of Ice and Fire. Childhood favourites included Peter Pan, Maximum Ride series, Bridge to Terabithia, Alex Rider series, the Uglies, Peeps, and Ella Enchanted. - TV includes Doctor Who (10 and Donna are my favourites), Firefly, Game of Thrones, Chuck, Misfits, Sherlock, Angel, Torchwood, White Collar, Community, HIMYM, Heroes, Dollhouse, Miranda, Freaks and Geeks, BSG, SGA, Spooks, Sex in the City, Scrubs, Gilmore Girls, Dexter, and MASH. I really need to finish/catch up on TTSCC, Buffy, Supernatural, Leverage, NCIS, Burn Notice, and the Secret Diary of a Call Girl. - My favourite movie is the Darjeeling Limited, followed by the Departed, King's Speech, Lion King, and Mean Girls. Also up there includes Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe, Serenity, Breakfast at Tiffany's, V for Vendetta, A Very Potter Musical, Easy A, Fight Club, Mulan, Lucky Number Sleven, Bridge to Terabithia, and Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog. And, this may be an issue with some but I do like - Fruit Ninja. Does anything else need to be said? - A brief interruption here to make sure you understand that I worship Joss Whedon. Not hardcore but yeah, he rocks my world. - Dabble with graphic novels. Big fan of Fables. Adore Watchmen and the Firefly stories. I want to get into it more, I've got a lot waiting for me on my shelf. Also working on Hellsing - manga. If I could be Police Girl, I'd be complete. - Writing science fiction this year. Includes a space ship, cloning, and exploration. - Not really into rping anymore, only on one site, but I do enjoy it and have good memories of it. Active member on a Doctor Who rp and continuously creeping Caution and ATF for new sites. - As a side note, I love me some Photoshop CS5. Not the most amazing graphics person in the world but I hold up my end in rping and gifing. And can do the odd nice thing for Tumblr. - Music tastes include a variety of things from Panic! at the Disco, Coldplay, Meatloaf, Queen, Jack's Mannequin, Bowling for Soup, Jeffster, Robin Sparkles, Fall Out Boy, Eminem, Billy Talent, Billy Joel, Blue Rodeo, and Death Cab for Cutie. My guilty pleasure is Taylor Swift. - Game like things include a never ending love for hockey, soccer, jogging, dodgeball, Age of Empires, Sims, rummoli, and Donkey Kong. - I tend to talk on for a long time, like now. - Probably will be very busy this November with school and life (friends, boyfriend, family etc) so having someone to keep up with would really help. - I have Facebook, Skype, and MSN as the main forms of communication, if that helps. Youtube, Tumblr, Google+, Lastfm, and a couple other forms are also out there but used less frequently - however if that's what anyone prefers, I'll go ahead and use it. I even have unlimited texting if need be... - I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of text talk at all. - I don't understand what happened to Pluto or the Oxford comma.

Hi, I'm Emily, most of my friends call me Em. 15 almost 16, in fact my birthday is Nov. 21. I live in the midwest USA. I will follow the lead of some of you other teens and make a list about my personality. -This is my 1st year doing NaNoWriMo. -I like Reeses. -I like NCIS, but only because Gibbs is awesome. -Writing is fun for me, but only if the subject is interesting. -I don't catch grammar mistakes if I'm really into a story -I am Italian-Irish, plus some other nationalities, but not enough to really count. -I like friendly people who don't talk about boy/girl problems all of the time -I'm writing this list when I should be drafting a Compare/Contrast paper for Comp. 1 class -I will definitely get super-stressed about this whole writing experience, so whoever wants to be my buddy, please bear with me. -I like pie better than cake -My childhood hero is Optimus Prime -If you can't tell, I'm trying to think of enough things to post. Maybe some more would be OK. -I don't have internet access on my phone (just so you know, it's not really that relevant) -I should do that paper now... NaNoMail me if you want to!

Hi all, I'm Lucy. I'm 14 and this is my third attempt at NaNoWriMo. I've been writing books, screenplays, and short stories since kindergarten. I live in Los Angeles, but I was born in Chicago. I am the biggest Whovian in the universe, even to the point where I've convinced myself I'm a Time Lord working for Torchwood. Other TV shows I enjoy include Firefly, Torchwood, The Big Bang Theory, Merlin, and Sherlock. I dislike lots of people and huge cities. My ideal place to live would be a cabin in a dark forest with just a few neighbors. My hobbies are basically anything involving art or science. I especially enjoy photography and chalk pastels. I am really into the performing arts, especially acting, cosplaying, and improv. I have a lot of really random, great ideas and I hope to get them down on my hard drive by writing short stories through NaNoWriMo this year.

The other 30% is an odd mix of Korean, American, Brazilian and whatever Scandinavian/Slavic music my boyfriend shares with me.

I'm ... H. That's not the initial of my first name, either... I'm 14. I'm not giving up any of my personal information, but I'm an anime freak and only listen to a very small selection of rock music. I love reading, too, but it's hard to find good books... so I decided to write one! Anyone wanna buddy me? You get cookies! No, you get cake!

Hello everyone! I'm called Nina. Will be 14 on November 1st. I'm female. I live in England. First year doing NaNoWriMo. Book blogger. Horrible procrastinator. Anime lover. Fujoshi (if that puts you off, goodbye!) Hetalia, Kuroshitsuji and Death Note lover. Terrible at art, but art teacher thinks otherwise for some reason. If I'm watching TV, it'll be Torchwood, Doctor Who, Merlin, Top Gear or QI. I like reading horror(which isn't scary), psycological thrillers(which are), dystopian, fantasy or redos of fairy tales. Music taste- Emile Autumn, Creature Feature, Angelspit, Abney Park. I don't think I'll be able to finish, due to teachers dumping tonnes of homework on me. Stupid GCSEs. I love black tea. I also like putting random things in it. Yesterday I put salt and sugar into my cup. It doesn't taste terrible. My book will be somewhat post apocalyptic, with a little adventure and a possibly slight romance(not worked that bit out yet). If you feel like you want to talk to me about anything, please do. I love making new friends. NaNoMail, twitter and tumblr are the best places. See you around xxx

Me like writing buddies! Almost-14 years old, 9th grade, Indonesian. Speaks/types English just fine. Huge range of interest, depending on the trigger and such. When I find history to be interesting, I'm likely to babble about it more and more, while some time I read lots of riddles or Quantum Physics or Astronomy or anything really. I'm artsy, likes to draw, but actually wants to be a Psychologist. The only thing I could really stand to watch is news and National Geographic. And of course, Ice Age :d I love supernatural things in novels. Especially ghosts. Rick Riordan writes reaaallly good stories. Umm, I'm not much for anime/manga because I care only about the characters, because I need them to read fanfics. Most of the time I read fanfics and never even watched one episode of the anime. So, nice to meet ya :D

S'up fellow teen writers! How are we today? Here's a list of things about - you know what? I'm not going to follow the precedent of a list. (I don't like them YES I WENT THERE D:) I'm 19 from England so I'm really only just on the age range, BUT there's still a whole year before I have to leave so it's fine. This is the first time I'm doing NaNoWriMo, but I've had lots of friends in the past who've done it and needed support (like, calls at 3am demanding marshmallows and a cat) so I CAN DO THE SAME FOR YOU. MSN/Skype/NaNoMail/Facebook, I'll be there for you! I'll be the most amazing writing buddy in the world. I'll spork you when you don't want to be disturbed, I'll laugh at your NaNoisms, I'll duel you to the death in a Word War - and maybe, if I like you enough, I'll even... be nice. Lolwut? I like dinosaurs. If you do too, NaNoMail me so we can have some epic times.

Hey, I'm Emma, 14, londoner. I enjoy rereading Harry Potter and Anne of Green Gables, Tumblr, Rookie Mag, avoiding language homework (in retrospect, the combination of French Spanish and Greek was probably not that smart....) and pretending to plan this years nano. Which I honestly haven't. at all. Despite deciding on the idea in march... anyhow. This is my second year doing nano, and hopefully my second win and so talking/encouraging/being encouraged by other people would be fab. Cause my friends get really bored of hearing about Nano.... :)

[aaa']) etc. This is my third year of Nanowrimo, I did 2010 and Camp Nano in August, and this year I need a writing buddy.

Hey there! I'm Amy, 17, and I'm from England. Currently I'm in upper sixth, studying English Lit, Psychology and Sociology, with the hopes of studying English with Creative Writing somewhere next year. Sending the UCAS form off on Monday, scary times! I'm a Whovian, a Sherlockian, a Christian, a weirdo, and generally awesome. This is my third time doing NaNo, fourth if you count Camp in August, and this year I'm writing something set in the universe I established over the summer. It's a comic fantasy questioning the lines between mental illness and perceptions of reality. I'll let you know more when I figure it out myself. And it'd be lovely to have some writing buddies to cheer on along the way! (:

Hi! I'm Kaitlin.

There's no way to accurately describe my love for them :) Be prepared. I'm open to any form of communication. Preferably chatting of some sort (any form is good, except Facebook). I think that's it? Maybe? Hopefully? Ah well :) nanomail me if you're interested! I'd love a writing buddy (or multiple!!) :D

Hi! I'm Sara, and I'm 18. I'm a freshman in college and a history major. I'm also a library intern. I'm currently in a theater group; we're doing a review. Hopefully, I'll get really good roles! I really love reading and writing (although that seems to be pretty common). I adore movies...I'm always up for suggestions! (I particularly like 80s movies, action films, and romantic comedies!) I write/read fan fiction. I'm in the Harry Potter fandom, and I read Merlin, Glee, and a whole lot of other things! I love everything English. I adore Victorian England...particularly Sherlock Holmes (yes, I have seen the modern day knock-off, and I ADORE IT!). I play the clarinet (less so now, because I am so busy). I love cute/pretty things! I love Harry Potter (probably a little too much) and A Very Potter Musical (although I am not incredibly knowledgeable about Starkid itself). I'm glued to my iPod, and I like just about everything, especially pop-punk (I do not like country however). I know a little bit of French. I'm EST in the US. Message me if you want!

I'm Thomas, sixteen years old, from New Zealand. I love it here, but it's a bit quiet. Most of the time, that suits me, though. I write high fantasy and soft sci-fi, which is mostly what I like to read too. Outside of writing and reading, I enjoy badminton, I watch a lot (read: heaps) of anime, and I'm a casual video gamer. I try to go for a walk through my city every single day, just to relax, think and take in a bit of much-needed Vitamin D. I study Spanish and German in school; languages are my passion, and I want to learn many more before too long.

Hello, lovelies! I'm either Dolly or Sebastian, depending on whom one asks; I'll be seventeen midway through November. I'm from England, but I live in Northern Ireland. This is my second year of doing NaNo, and (as opposed to last year's novel, which was about serial killers and death and how I wish I was Marilyn Manson) this year I'm attempting, possibly, to write a sort of gothic novel for preteens (think Coraline, but with more glitter and allusions to Zelda Fitzgerald). I'm a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, and I'm unduly in love with Repo! The Genetic Opera, Richey Edwards, Vladimir Nabokov, Oscar Wilde, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nine Inch Nails and Amanda Palmer. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm generally drinking tea, playing my saxophone, dressing up like a dandy or pretending to be a flapper. I also act - I'll be writing my NaNo novel this year alongside rehearsals for a production of "A Streetcar Named Desire", in which I'll be playing Blanche (who just so happens to be my favourite fictional character since Lord Sebastian Flyte). I plan to be a criminologist, and know altogether too much about crime in general, particularly that which pertains to Jeffrey Dahmer. Um, I'll stop now. Message me, and we'll gracefully sip tea together in the drawing room. Or something. :)

Hello everyone! I'm Claudia and I'm a 17-year-old girl from Sweden. This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo and I would love to have some writing buddies :) I'm planning on writing a Science Fiction novel about aliens on another planet. So if you're writing a sci-fi as well that would be awesome :D My interests besides writing are hanging out with friends and my boyfriend, astronomy, reading, sitting by my computer and very rarely study. My favourite authors are Jane Austen, Libba Bray, Robin Hobb and Eddings. My favourite music is generally rock/pop but I listen to almost anything. Right now I listen very much to Loke, Kent, Blood on the Dancefloor, Black Veil Brides and some more. Feel free to message me here so we can talk :) I've got Facebook, Tumblr, MSN and of course a regular email.

Hi, I'm Gabbie, 13, sophomore in high school. I love Harry Potter, Glee, Doctor Who, and Broadway musicals (however, I cannot sing at all). My heroes are JK Rowling, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, and a lot of other people that I'm too lazy to list. I am horrible untalented in most artsy things like drawing or singing or dancing, but I love words. I'm a talker, and an antisocial people-person (basically, a walking oxymoron). If you want someone to talk to or anything, just send me a message!

Hello everyone! I'm a 17 year old high school junior from South-Eastern Iowa. This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo. I am doing a mystery this year, having decided to break from my norm of historical fiction. On top of going to high school, I work part-time in child care and volunteer, so I am still contemplating how I am going to finish my novel without going insane. I am the ultimate nerd. As my username implies, my favourite novels are "Jane Eyre" and "Lord of the Rings". I am also a huge fan of Doctor Who, Batman, The Princess Bride, Isaac Asimov, Big Bang Theory, Dracula (original), Harry Potter, anything Tim Burton, and Neil Gaiman (and much, much, much more). I would love to have writing buddies. I know I am definately going to need them to finish WriMo :).NaNoMail me!

Squiddish — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 06:59:02 +0100

Hello, all! I'm Squiddish... or, if you prefer, you may call me Katherine or any variation therein. I'm just going to make this quick and easy and post this all in a list... mostly because it's late and I've not the energy to convince you why I'm awesome. (though, I totally am... so be convinced.) - I'm 18 years old... and a girl, for those that couldn't deduce that on their own. - I live in Illinois and, if you don't know, it gets cold here.... :c Someone wanna send me a parka? - I'm a Christian... but that doesn't mean my novels are all light and fluffy. Real life issues here, kids. Nice and deep... and most of the time, rather dark. I don't keep around methods of torture for nothing. - I've only seen one episode of Doctor Who, guys... so... no, I don't know what you're all talking about. - Harry Potter? Who's he? I've never read the books and only seen bits and pieces of the movies at work. - Speaking of work, I'm a full time nanny to four beautiful kids. This also means that I get very little uninterrupted write time... so I'd love a buddy willing to do word wars whenever it is that we're on together. - And on that note, I have most any communication method you could ask for. Facebook, MSN/AIM/Yahoo/Skype. The only thing I don't have for you is a Twitter or an active Tumblr. - My last tumblr post was a picture of an ice cream ad that had gay priests on it. One of them was holding a spoon. I still don't understand the ad, but I would definitely but that ice cream. - I love Johnny Depp movies... that is all. - I listen to country music, guys. Don't hate me. Just keep on walking. - I've never tasted coffee... or tea. Or really caffeine in general... HOW AM I GOING TO MAKE IT THROUGH NOVEMBER? (Really... I had half a pepsi the other day and I was wired. Caffeine is amazing, man.... Amazing.) - Slowly, I'm running out of pointless things to say about myself. - I'm writing a litfic this year, which means a whole lot of inner dialogue and theme fueled noveling. - I have two main characters. Each one has a room. They don't leave these rooms through the course of the novel... not until they answer a question: Life or death? - Listing my favourites should probably go here, but I'm too tired to make a list of them. I like things with guns. I like movies with loud noises... especially if it's action related. Psychological thrillers, too... or crime driven. I like my spies and my sociopaths. Alright, I'm going to stop there before it gets out of control. If you're interested, feel free to shoot me a NaNoMail. I'm really looking forward to meeting some new buddies that will be looking both to give and get support and encouragement through November. I definitely need someone willing to push, just like I'm willing to give a nice kick to the backside if you slow down. Alright, that's it. You can leave now. ;)

I'm Helen, a fourteen, soon to be fifteen year old, high school freshmen. This will be my second NaNoWriMo. I don't really like to think of the failure last year was for me. But I'm approaching this November with a bright, positive outlook and looking for a writing buddy to help me form going insane. I live in Texas, central time zone, for anyone interested. Um,if you want to know things I actually like? I'm devoted to several television shows, which I hold a much higher priority for than actual work. Shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Glee, Psych, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Community, Modern Family, My So-Called Life, and Doctor Who. I'm also constantly saving for new books to buy, which I can't list, it would take up far too much space. Also, my novel this year is going to be fanfiction, something I've been far too embarrassed to tell anyone yet. SO YAY THAT'S ALL. NaNoMail if you interested, yo.

I'm learning French in school. I still haven't figured out what I'm going to write this November. I like scented candles. I'm terrible at poetry. I'm procrastinating right now. I really like food (sometimes). I'm on Twitter all the time. I'm wearing blue right now. I like drawing, but I'm not very great it. I'm in the U.S. I'm really awkward. I'd really love to find a writing buddy around my age to talk to through Twitter/NaNoMail/whatever and have writing sprints with. Also, I'm really good at pestering people to write. Interested? (Hahah, I feel like I'm on a dating website or something.) Send me a NaNoMail!

I too, dear possible friends, require a writing comrade. I am just underage-of being legal, not of being a teenager just to be clear. I am often moody and angsty, with flares of temper, but I am often told I can be sweet and engaging if I make the effort. I have also been told I'm a fair writer, but I try not to read in to this too much because if you're a writer there is always room for improvement. I enjoy most music, although my favorite bands/singers of the moment are: 1. Skillet 2. Three Days Grace 3. Jordin Sparks 4. Chris Daughtry 5. Breaking Benjamin 6. Justin Timberlake 7. Backstreet Boys 8. Justin Beiber 9. Evanescence 10. Hana Pestle (This list is not respective, nor are these bands/singers the only ones I like.) If you wish to know more about me, i am here, but I just thought I'd make the effort of posting at least once... :)

I'm into bands like Foo Fighters, Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance and lots of lesser-known ones too! Right now I'm learning to drive and in my second-last year of school, studying English, Philosophy, Politics and History. It's going to be a lot of working juggling school, driving, going to gigs and doing NaNoWriMo, but I should be okay (touch wood) This is my fifth year of NaNo - does that make me an old veteran? I've been here since 2007! If you ever need advice or just someone to talk to, I'm here. So yeah, feel free to come say hi :)

I'm a total theatre nerd, I love hockey and volleyball, and I always cry when I read books and watch Disney movies. To make sure you're aware, I'm a Slytherin, and a major Gleek. (Oh gosh, not another one of those!) Doctor Who is also amazing, along with The Hunger Games, pretty much any show on TLC, and Nutella. I'm from the Great White North, land of ice, snow, and Tim Hortons. Lady GaGa is awesome, and so is Katy Perry, but I listen to showtunes much too much. I can't paint my nails to save my life, but I am fluent in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. I speak English, French, and Portuguese. Amen. (Gosh, I'm so weird.)

Hello! My name is Arlequin and I am eighteen, male, and notoriously homosexual. I love history and literature, and am a great fan of attractive men, period dramas, and homoerotic subtext. I'm strangely obsessed with dead gay writers and gay European socialites, and my hobbies include stanning Oscar Wilde, procrastinating, and being exceedingly pompous. My novel this year is about a big screwed-up aristocratic family and how they're constantly at each other's throats. There's blackmail, intrigue, and a lot of gay subtext. It's fun.

I'm Maggie, though I'll go by practically anything you want to call me. 15 going on 16, and this is my first year doing NaNo, so I'd love a writing buddy! I have no idea what my plot will be....I love to write in the Fantasy genre, though I'm thinking of branching out to some late 19th century european fiction....Who knows, I might even combine the two! i hang my hat in Concord, NC, and I've never been out of the US, though I would love to. I play piano, and play in a worship band, which happens to be one of the greatest. Ever. I've always wanted to play cello, but have neither the money, nor the time to put into it. I can't stand Glee, manga, fanfiction, or any book involving vampires. Yes, that includes Twilight. Harry Potter is my obsession. Occasionally, I find myself writing what seems to be a genius plotline, and then I realize it was one of Rowling's... IF I lived a couple hundred years ago, I would marry Edgar Allen Poe, and we would live out our days happily writing dark, morbidly incredible novels... I'm a Jesus Freak. It can't be helped. I'm hopelessly, helplessly in love with Jesus Christ, so if there are any more of us out there, please be my buddy! Music.....That's a touchy subject that I could talk about for hours.....Some of my favorites are: Showbread, Josh Garrels, John Mark McMillan, Demon Hunter, Great Awakening, Train, Attalus, Fallstar, and Family Force 5. Well, this is probably wayyy too much info, but if you are anything like me, then let's be buddies! Maggie

Finally getting around to this... Hi, I'm Dante, I'm 17 and turning 18 this November (the 21st!). Uhhhhh... -This is my first NaNoWriMo -I like mecha, both Real Robot and Super Robot (but I'm writing Real) -My favorite books are Ender's Game, American Psycho, The Westing Game, Watership Down, Old School, The Great Gatsby, Long Day's Journey Into Night, Frankenstein, most Hercule Poirot mysteries, and The Odyssey -I guess this project is also my first time writing m/m romance. I mean I don't read a whole lot because most of it turns into generic yaoi (which I detest) -most of the music I listen to is metal, and Metalocolypse is the only TV show I really follow. I make some exceptions for Noisegrind, though. -I'm from eastern PA, Chester County.

They are awesome) -I loved the show The Nine Lives Of Chloe King, but they cancelled it. :( -I love to act and tend to be overly dramatic. -I would love to live in the Rennaisance days.

AmariCatSin987 — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 06:56:13 +0100

Hello everyone! I am Cat. No, this is not my real name. No, it is not short for Catherine. It's just what I like to go by^^ My place of residence is in the Southwestern US, but I grew up in North Carolina, so I've picked up a bit of a twang that can come through in my typing on occasion. I am guilty of creating Mary Sue characters for the following fandoms: Warriors, Harry Potter, YuGiOh, Tokyo Mew Mew, Fruits Basket, Star Trek, Tron, Havemercy, Temeraire, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Frank Herbert's Dune, the Dragonriders of Pern... all the best XD I consider myself a bisexual. I also consider myself agnostic. I try to type properly, and to speak properly, but whenever I do it comes off either pretentious or British. When I don't restrain my typing style... well... It usually ends up chock full of XD :X ^^ DX @.@ <.< and o.0.... None of which are great to parade around a site all about writing XD This is my first NaNoWriMo attack. I'm writing about something I know absolutely nothing about just for fun I'm not in school, I've taken a year off before I head to college, but I do have a new puppy and chores to attend to, so I'm not on all the time... I'm on multiple gaming sites, the primary of which are Aywas, Felisfire, and Pottermore. I don't care what Pottermore says, I'm a Slytherin and that's that. Okay, enough with the factoids. Hi! Basically, I just wanted to cover all my bases before I actually gave you a run down on, well, me XD I am a fan of a great many books, series, TV shows, movies, etc, and I've usually got your average 'self-insertion' story in my head for each one. It's horrible. I don't really care XD I read fanfic for most of them, too, and I love getting new recs! Especially for Harry Potter and Star Trek fics, or well-written LotR fics. However, a point I'd like to make is this: I ship slash. I pretty much only read shipping stories, and I only read slash fics. I have been tricked into reading het fics before (I use to be an avid Dramione shipper-if you NNM me add 'pickle' to your message if you've actually read this all XD) but I can't really bring myself to read it anymore. Don't ask me why. I just can't. So beware of asking me for recs! However, if you've read the warning and still want recs, just ask! I have lengthy lists of favorites, as well as links to rec lists. I am also willing to share my thoughts and opinions on any book I've read (even an honest, non-bashing crit of Twilight XD) and am always looking for new reading material (though most of that is kinda going on a list for me to look up one day when I'm not worried about my mother hovering around XD). I find it hard to chat with people, because I've not been very well socialized, but I'm game to take a whack at it if you are XD So just NaNoMail me, and we can take it from there^^ Thanks for reading this exhausting post!

OzJackal — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 09:04:35 +0100

Hiya everyone. I'm OzJackal, from Australia. My real name is Rowan, and my nickname tends to change on a week-month-3month basis depending on what the guy on the locker above me decides to call me. I'm shy in real life, and really only talk well online. I have Aspergers Syndrome, but it's hardly noticable. I'm 15 but sound a lot older than I am. I'm a mini-athlete in reality, being a sprinter, hurdler and high jumper. I love NCIS, Rowan Atkinson (Not because we share the same name, he's freaking hillarious) the Unit, any number of movies from the 80s, and well, a lot of different movies. My taste in music is fairly diverse, it's rare that I'll actually find music that makes me recoil and turn to the next song. This is my first NaNoWriMo. Ahh, and outside of the little bullet-list. I love a lot of things and even though i come off as tough/hostile I'm completely harmless. I love books and reading, I'm a geek, nerd, whatever you want to call me. I don't mind, i know what I am, and it's always entertaining to see what people think of me when I finally hear about rumours. Message me if you like, :)

Greetings, Teenage Wrimos! I'm Chel, a 19 year old life-long unschooler. I'm a two-time NaNo winner attempting to write Sci-Fi for the first time. This NaNo, I'll be juggling teaching 10 different classes, rehearsing for a show that I'm in (going up the first weekend of November), learning how to roller-skate for said show, writing a novel in a genre that I've never attempted before, keeping up with my once-weekly blogging project that I started at the beginning of this year, and still manage to keep a fragment of of my sanity. As for who I am, well, I'm a whimsical creature who loves tea, curling up with a good book, anything and everything about theatre (from tech work and prop-making to teaching theatre and preforming), geeking out about Harry Potter and Doctor Who (among other things), learning ASL, and living enthusiastically. In addition to all that, I'm Pagan, and I'm queer. Actually, I'm third generation queer, with my grandfather and my mothers before me. I suppose I'm looking for a buddy to send short messages of mild panic to in November, someone who will jab at me and tell me to get my word count up if I'm falling behind, and yet be sympathetic if the madness of the month becomes too much for me and crushes my brain into jelly. Drop me a NaNoMail if you're interested in becoming buddies! ~Chel P.S. My novel this year is a space-station, futuristic humanity, government control, genetic mutation, computer-programming based, class war conglomeration topped off with plenty of QUILTBAG characters.

Cptncheeriopirate — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 19:44:48 +0100

Hey everyone! The name's Jessica... I'm 16 and this is my third year doing NaNoWriMo. I'm rather sarcastic and witty, so if you don't understand the art of sarcasm, we might not get along too well (I'm not mean, I just don't want anyone to be offended by my dry sense of humor and sarcastic statements). I am a die-hard LOST fan (I was rather disappointed as I was reading through this thread that I didn't find any other Losties, but oh well, life will go on). :) Since I no longer have Lost to watch, I watch and quite enjoy House, NCIS, The Middle, and Fringe. I'm a hardcore band geek (clarinet for 10 years, and alto sax for 2 years). I absolutely love the fall/winter (NaNo is a big part of why I love this time of the year so much) because it has all of my favorite holidays and events going on. Other random hobbies that I have include: hiking, backpacking, whitewater rafting, reading (Jules Verne and Stephen King are my favorite authors), writing (Duh?), playing soccer, watching NFL football on Sundays (I'm a Carolina Panthers' fan... and PROUD), and having movie nights. I'm really not a fan of anime or whatever that stuff is... I honestly don't understand it at all, but to each his own. I enjoy most kinds of music, although I have a deep love for Alternative style music (Mumford and Sons, One Republic, The Black Keys, Young the Giants, Coldplay, etc). Music is basically my whole world... I couldn't live without it. I'm a junior in high school and have more homework than I know what to do with most of the time, which is going to make NaNo this year pretty difficult, but I'm determined to write those 50,000 words (Stupid AP/Honors classes... stupid me for deciding to take all of them...). I have Facebook, Skype, AIM, etc and would love to have a few writing buddies to encourage and to encourage me on this crazy venture that we've set ourselves on. I live in California, in case any of you were wondering what time zone I'm in. :) Send me some NaNoMail if you'd like to be my buddy! Much Love, Jessica

Hey everyone. :) I'm sixteen years old, and a junior in highschool. I tried to do Nano last year, and I pretty much completely failed. But I am NOT doing that this year, absolutely not! But I need some friends to help me out and do word sprints and whatnot with! And I need someone to bounce plot ideas and elements off of! :) I try to be super nice, although I'm really quiet and I feel like some people may think that I'm snobby but I promise I'm not at all! I love Harry Potter, and somehow I ended up in Slytherin on Pottermore. ;) I adore Europe, Italy and Greece especially. My grandpa is a full-blooded Italian and I love everything about the culture. I'm a Christian and I adore French, even though I'm only in French II. I think I may major in French in college and become a French teacher or something like that, or I may be an elementary teacher. I love kids. :) Please send me mail and stuff! If you want. :)

I wish we could do this is real life. Just go up to someone and ask them for a list of things about themselves, and then if we have compatible interests, become friends. It would make getting to know people so much more convenient and less awkward. :P I'm eighteen, in my first year of university, and planning to drop out after this semester because it's not what I want to do. >.< Planning to start all over again next year at another university in a totally different program. Specifically, a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics with TESOL certification. By the way, I may have had eighteen birthdays, but everyone (including myself) believes that I'm really fourteen. Not saying I'm immature, but even people younger than me assume I'm only fourteen. I live in Canada. It's cold. I feel like my whole body is going to fall off whenever I step outside. I'm a Christian and strive to put God first in my life. <3 This novel will be for Him. I love languages. If I could just spend my entire life learning languages, that would be my dream come true. I plan to be an ESL teacher all over the world, so it's not too far-fetched either. Right now I'm learning (in order of how well I know I know them) English, French, Welsh (I don't know why, but I've just been obsessed with Welsh since I was five :P), Hebrew, Farsi, and Ancient Greek. I just started the last two a year ago. My favourite kind of books are classics (Dickens especially), inspirational non-fiction, and deep, thought-provoking fiction that will inevitably change your life after reading them. If you've ever read a book like that you know what I'm talking about. The Book Thief was an amazing one. I love to curl up by the fireplace with a book and tea and get transported to London. Or wherever else the book takes me. I'm not exactly sure what I'm writing about this year, and that scares me because usually I have massive outlines and stuff... Here's to an exciting November! NaNo mail me! :)

I am Brittany and I am 16 years old and I live in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. I am a junior in high school and this is my third year doing Nanowrimo. I haven't won Nanowrimo yet. I almost did on my first attempt and I epically failed last year with 500 words. *slapped* Well, because I got busy with school work and didn't get the time to work on my nanonovel. I am a big procrastinator and I'm Catholic =w=b and yeah. I'm German, Irish, and, of course, American. As for my novel, I never plan it out because it just doesn't work out for me. I write from my imagination. I am really nice, though, if you make me, I can get really angry. I do have anger issues, I'm aware of that, and I try my best to handle my anger at people. I'm also crazy, but I take that as a compliment. Don't believe me? Let me tell you something, I act like a totally different person when I'm all hyped up. Other than being a writer, I want to create a social website, like www.tinierme.com. I love rock music and my two favorite bands are Linkin Park and Three Days Grace. I absolutely love the show Invader Zim. I believe in ghosts and believe that my house is haunted. I mean, every night when everyone is asleep, I'll go downstairs to get a glass of water and I have a feeling of someone is watching me and I would run back up to my room and when I enter my room, I would feel so much better. I love watching shows on the bio channel that involves ghosts. Please don't tell me ghosts are fake, because you haven't went into my house at night. I play the piano a little, and I'm getting ready to take a guitar class in school. I've always wanted to play guitar because guitars are my favorite instrument. My birthday is on February 23rd, that is when I turn 17. When it comes to me writing stories (novels or not) I am never able to tell you about it. I don't know why though. I think it's either because I'm too embarrased that it's stupid or just can't think of what to tell you. I love fantasy books, love them so much <3....... Sooo, I am certainly ready to face this year and write them 50k words and win...Well, try to anyways. Add me as writing buddy please?

Catmeghum — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:11:49 +0100

Hey :) I'm 17, from England, studying English Lit, Biology, Chemistry and Psychology in the Lower Sixth. I'm also attempting to do Maths AS as an extra, as well as doing my Grade 5 Music Theory, my Grade 6 Piano and Grade 4 Singing. Yes, I am apparently a workaholic, yet somehow I'm still remarkably lazy. I lovelovelove music, my current favourite band being Evanescence. However, I'll listen to just about anything - Taylor Swift, Take That, Mozart, We Are The Ocean, The Hush Sound, etc, etc. As you might have gathered from the previous paragraph, I play piano and I sing. I loathe theory, I'm only taking the exam so I can go on with my piano practicals. I'm a science nerd, and I have no idea what I want to be in the future. If someone could invent a job that combined chemistry and literature, that'd be great, thanks! :D I have a long-cherished ambition to study at Oxford, and I don't really care what I study, but I have accepted that I almost certainly won't get in :( I'm a perfectionist, probably mildly OCD, and I get stressed frequently. I love baking, I love Doctor Who (YAY FOR ALL THE WHOVIANS HERE), I love reading. I love Tolkien more than is normal, and I am a Ravenclaw ^^ This is my third year attempting NaNoWriMo (the past two were disasters) and this year I'm writing a steampunk novel. That's as far as I've got. It's gonna be great, guys!! But seriously, I do have characters this year. I had none last time. (Well, one.) I also write poetry - but don't worry, I won't make you read it :) Okay, so that's a list of random facts about me. Anyone who hasn't been scared off, message me!! I'd love a writing buddy :) Oh, and I'm a girl, btw (just in case you couldn't tell) :D Cat x

I'm Nia. Junior in high school. I absolutely have no idea what I'm writing about this year, even though I've been doing NaNoWriMo since I was in 8th grade -_-. You think by the fourth year you actually remember when NaNoWriMo rolls around. Shame. I love YA though, so that's probably what I'll be writing about. I love music so much, and I'm always looking for something else to listen to. But Country & Heavy Metal, I just can't deal with those two things. American :) Whoop whoop. :D I love fashion, and wouldn't mind if it becomes a career one day to become a stylist. That would actually be beautiful :) I love love stories. I don't usually write stories that end on a sad note, because I believe real life itself gets pretty sad enough. I'd love a writing buddy that won't quit and will give me a fight to the finish! Haha, competition never hurt anybody. Hit me up on NaNomail ! :)

Howdy, everyone! I'm Lettie. I think it'd be neat to have a writing buddy who wouldn't be afraid to pester me about my novel's progress (I'd do the same for someone). Soooo, I'm a pretty chipper geek who loves to write and draw, and lately I've been conflicted about which activity to spend more time on. Arguably, drawing is my larger passion, but there's something about the written word that I love. I typically float around in the genres of fantasy and sci-fi, and I'm developing a love of steampunk. I'm a pretty big video game fan, to the point that I'm hoping to have a career in the gaming industry. My interests in games (and outside of games) is pretty eclectic though... Feel free to NaNomail me! I love talking to people!

Ooops, I think I posted this in the wrong place so I am going to post it here. Hi, This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo. I am 16 and am REALLY excited. First thing I want to say is this. I am a conservative Christian. I am fine being writing buddies with someone who dosn't share all of my beliefs, although that would be nice. :) However, I do not want someone who uses bad language or blasphemy. I don't mean to sound rude; I just want to make that clear from the beginning. Also, I am only looking for girl buddies. I am homeschooled and LOVE it. I DO NOT care for fantasy or magic. I love Southern Gospel music! I know, I'm weird. I love G. A. Henty novels. I don't watch a lot of TV. I watch some old shows though, like Andy Griffith, Dragnet, Dick Van Dyke, etc. My favorite subjects are science and math. My story this year is about the sanctity of life, dealing specifically with the tragedy of tubal pregnancys.

Writing buddies! Get them now so the forums don't eat you during November! Hello, everyone. This is my second year doing Nano but I got a different account because the other one was giving me issues this year that I don't want to have to deal with again. Bleh. -I'm female. -I'm 17. -I'm homeschooled. -I'm an otaku ^_^ - I love costuming but especially cosplay. - I've studied Japanese in high school for two years and will be majoring in it next year. - Fanfiction is my life. - No, I take it back, Yuki Sohma is my life. (His character! Not because of how he looks!) - I'm a Fruits Basket nerd. - I float through the months and only exist the one or two days every four-six months that I'm at anime cons. - Character studying makes me happy. I like peeling back the layers and learning the hidden things about them. - My fashion sense is everywhere. I can be in sundresses, hippie-style, Lolita, Goth, '50s, anything! - I'm a knitter of funky and fun yarns. - I listen to foreign music, soundtracks, and piano. - J-pop! - I play the flute in marching, pep, and concert band. Our band only has nineteen people... O_O - I can't watch sports hardly at all. - Angst makes me happy to be depressed and fluff makes euphoric. - I'm YukixTohru. Not that I hate on KyoxTohru or YukixMachi, but well... I have my preference. - I like to keep my hair short and come back with a different style cut every single time. - Blogging is newly discovered obsession of mine. Who knew ranting could be so much fun! - I have pet rats, and love creatures of all kinds! Rodents, snakes, giant spiders, turtles, lizards, etc. I can't think of much else to say... Hmm... Girl or guy I don't care, just add me to your buddies if you want. ^^

-I'm Rachel, 17, American (EST). -I read a lot of fantasy, although I'll read other genres if the book in question is well-written. My current favorite authors are Rob Thurman and Neil Gaiman, and I'm - slowly - reading Dante's Divine Comedy. -I religiously watch Supernatural, and I also enjoy Firefly, Craig Ferguson, Modern Family, and Moulin Rouge. -As for music, I listen to a good deal of pre-2000s bands, with some exceptions. I like Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, and Linkin Park for the most part. -I am eventually going to be a zoologist. And live in Ireland, if I get my way. -I love words, languages, names, mammals, and non-Twilight vampires. -I'm currently a high school senior taking far too many AP classes. That's really all I can think of. NaNoMail me if you want, I suppose!

Hey I'm Adam and I'm 15 years old and turning 16 in december. I'm looking for a writing buddy to keep me in check and just laugh with I guess. I like people who can shift between in-depth, philosophical discussion and humour in the blink of an eye. Lists seem to be the norm on this thread so I'll give it a go. -I read mostly fantasy and magical realism. My favourite authors have to be Neil Gaiman, Haruki Marukami, Lev Grossman and of course the father of fantasy, Tolkien himself. -I get kind of emotional about books and I can't count the number of times I've cried after finishing a book on two hands. But by far my two biggest post-book cries were after the Magicians by Lev Grossman and Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Marukami. -Film is a big part of my life. I watch a lot of movies from the big blockbusters to tiny indie productions. My favourite films are Pan's Labyrinth, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Moon, Un Chien Andalou, The Social Network, Drive, I'm Here, Biutiful, 21 Grams and I'm not There -My music taste ranges between a few different genres. My favourite bands/artists are Bob Dylan, Sufjan Stevens, Broken Social Scene, Wintersleep, Baths and James Blake. -My favourite TV shows are the Office, 30 Rock, Community, Being Human, Firefly, Game of Thrones, Rome, Flight of the Conchords and Modern Family -I like getting a laugh out of really bad poetry -I hope that by some stroke of luck or boldness that I can become a writer or a film director in the future while still balancing a family life. -Lastly, I enjoy really deep discussions. Whether it's about your latest theory on the nature of reality or just how your feeling at the moment. I like talking to and about people despite my dark sometimes cynical view of humanity as a race. So there you go, I hope that I haven't bored you too much. Just drop me a message and we can exchange info.

My 'list stuff' is as follows: •I enjoy photography (I do the sports photography for my paper), acting, writing, reading, talking too much, driving my friends mad, music, and other such things. •I'm a fantasy/supernatural lover and for the life of me can't escape YA stories–not that I've tried too hard. •I'm bad at favorites, but I've recently been engrossed in the Heros of Olympus series as I have a serious weakness for heros and mythology. With my new Kindle in hand and a recent love for Sherlock BBC, I plan to immerse myself into the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes that are freely available to me. ;) •I'm horrid at getting around to writing when it's not NaNo time or for school because I always need a goal behind my writing. (I'm a super goal-oriented person to begin with.) •My best idea for my future career is an English professor, but time will tell. •I lean towards a liberal view on life, and I can't interact with people without a sense of humor. Sarcasm is a lovely thing. •I'm not big on watching TV, but I try to keep up with Glee and get my Saturday doses of Merlin episodes fresh from across the Atlantic. Like previously mentioned, I love Sherlock BBC and mourn that it only has three episodes in its first season. •I give people strange nicknames (Morgan doesn't appreciate being called morgue, but I don't see the problem with it) (• I think I abuse parentheses.) •My musical preferences vary on my mood. Sometimes I like epic instrumental, trashy pop, calm indie, wacky foreign, shaking-my-house-loud rock, and all areas in-between. So, that's me in a couple of bullet points. Be my friend?

Sh'ello! Addie or Adeline is what you can call me, or if you think up a nickname I may accept it. I'm 16 in my Junior year (the ominous black hole) who sort of acts older than I actually am, while still retaining my goofy, bubbly personality. List! -I love music and am always obsessing over an artist or band, (examples: Fiona Apple, KT Tunstall, Amy Macdonald) -I'm just an all around artsy gal, I enjoy printing, drawing, painting, photographing, etc. -I stay up way later than I should, and have a slight addiction to caffeine but not coffee(blech!) -I like to read things with happier endings usually but i find that the books that I enjoy the most and stay with me usually are a bit tragic (The Book Thief and The Great Gatsby) -I love description and use possibly a bit too much. -I have a devart...if you have one? -I'm the type of person who could spend hours and hours in museums or in a book store, and I love exploring. -I' doing Nano even though I have an absolutely crazy(and completely mean) cross country coach, am in a marching band, am taking APUSH and have all the typical pressures that come with highschool students at our young, innocent age. Anyways, if you'd like to talk about who knows what (I like talking about serious things but I can act immature sometimes) or just push each other to stop procrastinating, because I know that's gonna be a problem with me, so PM or respond for friendship.

Buddies are nice... I'd like a buddy. =) I'm Amber. I'm 17, high school junior/senior (I'm both, somehow...), American (Oregon) bisexual, agnostic, socially awkward, and I prefer being approached to approaching people... =P I don't pick favorites for pretty much anything... I listen to anything from pop-punk to heavy metal (loving blink-182, My Chemical Romance, Avenged Sevenfold and Simple Plan at the moment, but I love just about anything other than rap... Although country isn't much of a favorite, either... I'm used to it, I just don't choose to listen to it), I read very widely (I love Stephen King, Hannah Moskowitz, JK Rowling, pretty much anything horror... Trying to read more YA and nonfiction right now, but I'm not finding a lot of time for it...), and I haven't been watching a lot of TV lately, thanks to school assignments... I'd like a buddy who would be willing to nag me until I finish NaNo since I get distracted easily, mainly by kitty cats and shiny things. =P I like word wars, very fun. Oh yes, my NaNo novels are about vampyres. They spontaneously combust when they come in contact with sunlight. It's fun. x3 Um, yeah. Feel free to NaNoMail me or reply =) ~Amber~

Fiery_Sapphire — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:14:16 +0100

Hello! :) I just turned 18 last month, but I'm a huge kid at heart. I'm not too good at writing about myself, but I'll try... I have two older sisters, two little sisters (technically cousins, but they live with us), two dogs (one being my cousins...), a cat, and a turtle. I'm a sophomore in college studying early childhood education and I'm a teacher's aide at a pre-school along with two babysitting jobs. I would love to continue teaching pre-schoolers, but eventually I hope to be writing full time. I am the administrator of a writing website along with 16 Roleplaying sites (half of them not opened yet...). Nine out of ten times, I'm usually hanging out with my boyfriend (except during November...he'll have to deal with me being absent XD). I love the idea of reading and wish I read more often than I do (which is practically never), but I don't really have the attention span to read. I hope I get into it someday, though. I love video games...Pokemon is my favorite. XD I'm babbling (which is a huge quirk of mine)...sorry. About my writing: This is my third year here at NaNo. I won my first year, but didn't understand that I have to validate it. So I made the 50k, but it didn't really count. I failed last year, but discovered Camp NaNo last August and won that. I want to be a writer full-time. I currently have two children picture books completed as well as two teen-aged novels completed. I'm also done with a third novel, which I hope to finish before NaNo begins. However, I have no agent and nothing published, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. I'm writing fantasy this year...a sequel to the novel I wrote during Camp NaNo back in August. More info on that is on my profile. I would love to have a lot of writing buddies. I don't mind the age, the genre, just as long as I have a few people to get through this with. NaNoMail me if you're interested. Good luck to all of you! :)

Un67 — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 22:47:17 +0100

Hi everyone! My name is Weijia (pronounce it WAY-juh, although the actual pronunciation is much different and much harder). I'd like to get a writing buddy for this since its my first time and I really don't feel like trying to do this completely alone. So here are some facts about me: - I'm male. - I'm 14 year old freshman in high school. - I live in Maryland. (So EST.) - I'm Chinese-American. (I was born in China but I have permanent residence here in America. Hurrah for Green Cards!) - I'm writing a Fantasy novel, and am a big fan of the genre. - I love Roguelikes. They are my favorite genre of games. If you enjoy difficult games, google this genre up and try one! I suggest Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. - I can speak English (obviously), Chinese, and a little bit of Spanish. I'm not literate in Chinese, but I'm fairly proficient with spoken Chinese. I've taken Spanish since seventh grade. - I am a nerd, although I'm one of those people who does all their work and doesn't really go beyond that. I really never have been someone to seek out extra things to do (although I suppose this is an exception). - I play the violin, and I practice for one hour (actually more like fifty minutes) a day. I'm part of the school orchestra, of course (although technically it's the string ensemble, but whatever). - I really really really like listening to the piano. My favorite artists are Dax Johnson, Isaac Shepard, and Rob Costlow. I often listen to them while I write. - I do roleplay on a couple of sites, although I tend not to be super-active or for that matter super-experienced. - I'm somewhat serious and I'm not really emotional at all. If you're looking for a ball of excitement... it's probably not going to be me. I guess that's pretty comprehensive. You should just NaNoMail me if you're interested, and hopefully tell me a bit about you. I'm not really asking for much from a writing buddy, just for someone to exchange ideas with and maybe compete with a bit for wordcount. I'm not a big fan of IM'ing, I'd rather keep discussions here on this website through NaNoMail. But again, just float a message by me.

Luminosity.of.a.Shadow — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:43:57 +0100

Yo, I be L. However, I am not yet internationally-known-and-revered/feared/disliked. But I'm making my way there. Random fact time. I'm a junior in high school(and the workload is hell). I'm a Christian(but not a scary shove-it-down-your-throat kind). I'm an avid fan of manga and anime. Current favorite: Black Butler. (I'm just one hell of a fan, bro.) I have an unfortunate fondness for religiously-based swear words. I write crap tons of crap poetry that is crap. However, I occasionally turn out a gem like the one in my profile. I love fantasy above all other genres. Urban fantasy=the bomb. I ADORE HARRY POTTER IT IS MY LIFE The theme song of my life is either Ever by Gackt or Liberty Party by Ronald Knox from BB. I think Emilie Autumn is the queen of music. My life motto is 'Iku ze', because it can be made to ring in a way that suits me better than 'Let's go'. Last, but not least: THE GAME. you lost it.

Chanit_Henellia — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:48:40 +0100

Alrighty. So, if I don't get a reply here, I'll stalk down someone to get them to be my writing buddy. Ha. Where to start? I'm a 14 year old homeschooled freshman. I did NaNo last year as well, and I really enjoyed it. I've been writing since I could scribble out some misspelled words that might possibly have made sense, and I've been creating stories since I was old enough to dictate to my mom what to write down. I have a very active imagination. I am an introvert in real life, but online I tend to be quite a bit more extroverted. I still have my introverted tendencies, however, so I'm more likely to think about what I want to say, and I don't like participating in meaningless conversations. I also don't like being in a crowd of people, even online, so I'm not likely to talk to many people at the same time. I usually write fantasy, or realistic fiction with fantasy aspects. I've gotten one or two sci-fi story ideas as well, but that's not a major thing I write. This year is one of my realistic fiction with fantasy aspects books, though it has stuff to do with spies... I've always wanted to be a spy. I'm a Roman Catholic, but I'm okay with talking to anyone, as long as they don't bash my faith. (I'm okay with some debates... But this is a WRITING forum, not a THEOLOGY forum. Just sayin'.) I come from a large family (oldest of 6), but I'm not all that weird. I think. I'm somewhat of a geek, I play Dungeons and Dragons (I'm a D&D player as well as a DM) and I love to roleplay. The only video games I play are Mario, but I can discuss the psychology behind introverts and extroverts with relative ease. I mainly watch geeky videos such as The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. (Maybe that last one is just dorky, I don't know.) I am a fairly prolific author. I've finished one novel, one novella, I've coauthored another novel, I'm 3/4 of the way through yet another novel, and I just started another one a couple months ago. I tend to write a lot, too, if you can't tell from this post... >.< I find it impossible not to write a lot. Sorry. Expect long, rambling, babbling replies to any messages... I don't really care how old you are or what genre you're writing, but if you're about the same age as I am, that's great. :) I'm highly competative, so someone who enjoys word wars is especially welcome. Just NaNoMail me, and if I ever get the hang of this site (I've been on here for over a year, you'd think I'd know my way around)... I'll respond and we can be buddies. (That word brings back bad memories of Girl Scout camp... O_o)

Impereld — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 01:10:00 +0100

Let's get this road on the show. - I have male parts. - I have currently been gifted to this planet of Earth for 16 years. - My name is Charlie. However, due to dimensional bleeding and merging with other me's from other universes, I will also accept Impereld, Sexy, or Kohagan the Destroyer. - I live in England, - I mainly write fantasy, although I have also written Horror, Sci-fi, and YA. - This is my second Nanowrimo. I won the first I did. (Version 1.5 however, merged with a toaster and became a quantum computer.) - I have a dog. Or as I like to refer to it: The Black Hound, Chaser of Birds, He Who Pulls Thy Arm Sockets Out, and The One Who Lays Beside The Fire. Although I am really an animal person in general. Except cats. Snakes and rats and faceless abominations from before the dawn of time, I can handle. But not cats. - I am the wielder of The Metal, which will strike you down with a vicious blow. Do not try to fight it, as no one can destroy The Metal. TV: Doctor Who, (Though judging by the thread, I think people are expecting this by now) Torchwood, (Before the dreaded fate of Americanisation) Firefly, How I Met Your Mother, South Park, et cetera. - I am an avid gamer. My favourite series' are Mother and TES. - I mainly read Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Adventure and YA. I also stir in the occassional Mystery or Horror to add a bit of diversity. - I don't read or write too much fanfiction, although that is likely to change soon. (As soon as it changes from "Everyone loves my Mary Sue, let's have her seduce every canon character!!!!!!" No. Just... No.) - I am absolutely addicted to The Slender Man Mythos, to the point where I am dressing up as Redlight for Halloween. - I should be asleep at the time of writing this. So yeah, anybody who fancies being my Nanobuddy, post a video of yourself fighting a 10-foot centipede. (Or, y'know, just Nanomail me. I personally perfer the fighting centipede thing, but whatever works for you.)

Drucilla A. Summers — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 03:15:07 +0100

A writing buddy might come in handy later on in the writing process. I'm Drucilla, just call me Dru. I'm a 16 year-old girl who has written about 10 or so novel beginings. Middles and ends...eh, those are harder for me to write. Anyway, I love Historical Fiction, even though my NaNoWriMo novel is set in modern day. I'm fascinated with the Victorian Era and abandoned insane asylums. Mix those two together and I am in heaven! I'm a musician. I play the piano, guitar, and French horn. I'm also a singer training in the more classical stylings (opera). My favorite genre of music is symphonic metal, my favorite band being Nightwish, but I also enjoy folk music. I'm a horse-back rider. Yeah! I own a lovely little mare who is my pride and join, even though I have to thank her for a broken arm. I love Doctor Who, even though I am American. David Tennant is my favorite Doctor, hands down, even though Vincent and the Doctor is my favorite episode (because I love Vincent Van Gogh). I also enjoy the show The Big Bang Theory, The Office, Terra Nova, The Walking Dead and a myriad of other shows. I'm a Plague Rat. And my favorite color is purple. Well, if you are interested in being my writing buddy, just send me a message. Just remember this: If you decide to be my buddy, be prepared to save me from Writer's Block! *bum, bum bUUUUUMMMMM!* Thank you!

Hi, I'm Ally! I live in Minnesota and I'm a junior in high school. This is my fourth year doing Nanowrimo, so I guess you could say I have a lot of experience in this. Anyways, I love Nanowrimo and writing in general. I tend to be fun-loving and online frequently, so I'd love to have some writing buddies who are serious about doing this (it would be awesome if you're in Minnesota too!) I love rock music, but you can catch me listening to anything. Some of my favorite bands: Skillet, TDG, Mariana's Trench, Framing Hanley, Avenged Sevenfold, 30 Seconds to Mars, Smashing Pumkins, Nirvana, Silverchair, etc. I like a lot of different types of rock lol. My favorite writing genre is fantasy/adventure/mystery, but I write pretty much anything. Anyways, add me if you like. :)

Hello everyone, I'm Alice~! I'm a 19 year old freshman in college from the EST zone. I am an American, female with a love of writing fantasy. I have a problem with being addicted to the game series Dragon Age. I also really love to listen to music in foreign languages. I absolutely adore Japanese language and culture, and while I do like anime, I am not a weeabu. I do write LGBT fiction into my fantasy so, if you are my writing buddy I may end up talking about it, just to warn you. I can play some piano and some guitar, mostly self taught. I am considered a starving college student because of the fact my meal plan ran out, so I'll be writing on an empty stomach, so lets see where that goes... I doubt it will be good. I tend to get off of track very easily. I'm also one of those people who have the characters that will write themselves into being and I sometimes hate it when my characters do that.

Hi, I'm Jessi, but a lot of people call me Jex. I'm 16 and I live in Florida. This is my third NaNo and sixth WriMo overall. I've won all but one. I like a lot of stuff, but my favourites include Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Castle, Modern Family, and music, which I'm not nearly as picky about as I am with everything else. I'm usually seen eating mashed potatoes and sitting online either doing schoolwork or avoiding doing schoolwork by browsing random articles on cracked.com and the trutv.com crime library. I tend to procrastinate and change my mind a lot, so WriMo's are always really hectic for me. Hopefully, having a buddy, or two or three, will help keep me on a better track this November. Just message me if you want to talk and help each other out this coming month!

writer103 — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 06:33:33 +0100

So, I've never used the forums before, but I figure I'd better start and try to get a writing buddy. Here's a bit about me: -I write just about every genre that falls under YA. Urban Fantasy, High Fantasy, General Fiction, ect... -I'm fifteen. Most people mistake me as an eighteen year-old for some unexplained reason. -I'll be attending college next semester because I despise high school. -I've participated in one NaNo. -I never got over that obsession with ponies most eight year-olds go through. I still love horses, although I can't ride them. -I have a rare and serious medical condition. It's a blessing and a curse (mostly the latter), and I deal. -I tend to be brutally honest. Not mean spirited in the least, just honest. -I like obscure bands most people have never heard of. -I have ecletric taste in books, movies, music, and friends. So that's a bit about me. Send me a message, I don't bite often.

Strange thing? When I meet new people, they all think I'm over twenty. Should I be buying some anti-aging cream or something? -I'm part of the Random House Book Buddies Program, so I give feedback manuscripts they're working on. It's like getting ARC's, it's awesome. -I'm also on three other writing sites, Inkpop, Figment and Teen Ink. -I speak Italian. -I can play clarinet and violin. -I read every book genre, but I suck at contemporary. It's so normal, but I love reading it. -My first two books involved a girl getting knocked into eleven months of PVS and a shark attack off of Cottesloe Beach. -I've been to Italy, France, Singapore, New Zealand, England and Japan, but I haven't crossed the Bass Strait to Tasmania. -I'll listen to every kind of music except hard core death metal and screamo. Australian Girls Choir, The Celtic Woman, Breaking Benjamin, gLee, Les Miserables, and the song from Amelie are all on my iPod. -I believe Jaclyn Moriarty is the most skilled author I've ever read, right beside Melina Marchetta. -I've met Maria V. Snyder, Maggie Stiefvater and Emily Rodda. -I'm really honest, and I won't sugar coat my words when I edit someone's work. I expect you to do the same for me, too.

Hallo, I'm Cameron. I'm American, but most people think I'm English for some odd reason. I'm fifteen, in grade 10, currently living in Illinois. I like to waste my life away on the internet and watching things on Netflix. (Anyone who wants to watch movies or tv shows with me? I like having people to discuss films with. Not while you're trying to get your wordcount, of course.) I'm also an amateur artist, I work in digital and traditional media. My language that I'm taking is Russian, level one, and I'm trying to teach myself Japanese. The fact that most of my hobbies are writing/reading/art/etc is kind of ironic, considering the fact that I attend a school for science and mathematics. My school is a residential one, and grade 10 students have internet shutoff at 23:30 on weeknights. On weekends though, I have internet until 1:00. So I'm available most of the day until those times (CST, I think that's GMT -6) if anyone wants to talk.

Hi, I'm Ayesha! I'm 13, I'm 14 on the 9th of November. My main genre is YA Fantasy. I completely adore reading particularly a Series of Unfortunate Events and Harry Pottter. I DO NOT like fanfiction/shipping but I'm fine if you do. :) I live in South Africa. My favourite music are made by Within Temptation, Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga. I collect paint samples, and am really random and weird. I'm in the 8th grade. I love watching movies, my favourite animation is The Princess and the Frog(2009 edition) and my favourite live-action is Jonny English. Nanomail me if you'd like to be my buddy! :D

Hi! I'm Emily. I'm from the east coast. I love reading and writing (duh), indie music, Harry Potter, anything that's British and procrastinating. I really need some writing buddies, and also someone to help me set an appropriate word count. I'm writing a fantasy book this year that I'm sooo excited about! I hope to talk to y'all soon!

My name is Karissa and I'm 18 (although I'll be 19 by the time NaNo starts). I don't know what I'm writing yet. I just have the cover and the title. Yes, I know, I kind of work backwards. Here are some facts about myself: -I'm a second year college student studying forensic psychology. -I have some very dark interests/fascinations, as you could probably guess from my major. These include serial killers, women who kill, morticians, cults, and school shootings/mass murder. -My favorite shows are Dexter, Gilmore Girls, The Big Bang Theory, That 70's Show, and American Dad. -I have a dog who I don't like, a cat who is my baby, and two gerbils who I adore. -I've got bipolar disorder type 2, which is the "worst" kind. -My favorite band is My Chemical Romance. I've seen them live twice. I'd enjoy anyone as a writing buddy- I still have some writing buddies from NaNos past that I still keep in touch with and I love it. Anyone from anywhere, but I'd prefer that you be older than 16 or 17 just so I don't feel like a creep? Haha. Guys or girls, although I tend to get along better with guys. My preferred means of contact is AIM although I have any IM platform you can think of so that doesn't really matter. NaNoMail me if you're interested!

Forgot to mention I'm on the East Coast but that doesn't matter to me because a.) I have very weird sleeping habits and b.) I love meeting people from other areas.

My name's Jack, 16, and it's my second year doing NaNo :D - I LOVE rock music, especially from the 90's. If you aren't into it, that's fine, but y'know, expect an all caps rant about how [insert 80's/90's band here] is the best band ever. Favorite bands are U2, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Rise Against -I'm a junior in high school. -My favorite book is Misery by Stephen King (yeah, I'm a little creepy like that) -Favorite TV shows are Lost, Supernatural, Arrested Development (hence the profile pic), The Walking Dead, and Futurama -Forrest Gump, Gladiator, and There's Something About Mary are the greatest movies ever. -I wouldn't really recommend being my buddy if you're easily offended... I can tone down the language and raunchy humor, but it's just sorta what I'm like. So, if you're fine with that, we're both probably better off. That's all I can think if, so just NanoMail me if you want to!

My name's Cassidy and it's my second year doing NaNo, aw yeah. - I'm a junior in high school, but I plan to graduate a semester early as a senior. - Arthur Rimbaud is my favorite poet and Casablanca is my favorite movie. I hope to be a screenwriter and director one day. - I'm in Slytherin and part of The Brotherhood. - All I watch is Comedy Central, Adult Swim, and anything with zombies. - I use GIFS for everything. - As far as my personality goes, I don't hate anyone because that makes you bitter (which ages you badly) and I don't have the time/energy to hate on people. I use a lot of mature themes in my writing since a lot of it is just from experience so you have been warned and I'm not going to tone it down if it offends you since that's just me. I live in Oregon (Pacific Time), but time zones aren't a big deal. I do have a job though and that sometimes eats up my time. I think that sums that up so just NaNomail me :D

My favourite artists are Take That, Robbie Williams (yes I have the music tastes of a 40-year-old). I also like cats and I have two, Meg and Jessie.

Hey all -- I'm Dizzy. I'm 18 (pretty close to 19), University Freshman with a major in Journalism: News/Editorial. This is my second year doing Nano, alas, I didn't not win last year, so here's to hoping this year will be my first. :) I'm doing a story that looks at how specific events in life shape a person, and how much control you have over who you become. That's perhaps the most ambigious explanation of my story ever, but whatever. I wasn't super involved in the Nano community last year, and I'd like to remedy it this year. So anyone who wants to hit me up, please do so. Things about me: -I'm a journalist (I sort of already said that, though) -I am pretty active in the feminist community, and also am a big supporter of LGBT rights -I love people, both as company and from an outside point of view -- I love sociology -I'm open-minded, and truly want to get to know people -I'm a sci-fi nerd -- my favorites: X-Files (number 1 favorite), Star Trek TOS (but the others are good too), and Supernatural -I'm a total Gleek -My native tongue is English, I'm conversational in Spanish, and I'm fluent in Tumblr speak -I'm cool, so you should talk to me :D

Good morning/evening/afternoon, fellow NaNo Teens. My name is Kieran, a fifteen year old male from the east coast of England. This is my first proper year of NaNo and I hope it will be a good, creative and rewarding experience all in one handy bundle (and I do know that is is). I'm really into zombies, any zombie film, book or TV show, it's on my to watch list. In fact, I'm so into zombies, that my story this year is a zombie story (oh, what a surprise). I'm looking for a writing buddy who's into Doctor Who, Deathnote, Zombies and anything inbetween, I'm more than happy to watch a load of films and TV to gain a common interest with someone (apart from Harry Potter, sorry guys, but that's one book series I can not stand). So, if you're interested, then give me a message and I'll get chatting to you. And if you tell me your name in advance, I won't write it in my Death Note. See you later ladies and mister men. Kieran :3

Hello, friends! I am Baxter, a seventeen year old dude from the middle of the USA. I've been signed up to this site for a few years now, but both of my previous attempts ended about two days in with me staring at maybe two pages of words without knowing where to go next. I intend to get a bit further than that this year. My story is going to be kind of a love story (thus the current title, A Love Story), because, at the end of the day, I am a complete sucker for adorable romances. Little factoids and stuff: - I got me a ukulele that I love playing, although I am absolute balls at the thing and cannot sing to save my life. At school I play the trombone and by seniority alone have gained that magical first chair position. - I'm a complete sucker for modernism and post-modernism. David Foster Wallace is like...basically Jesus. Basically. - One of the most important things for me in a work is sincerity. Not sure how to explain it deeper than that. - I am of the opinion that Chicago, that musical, is possibly the worst movie out there. I am sorry, those of you who like it. - Parks and Recreation is the greatest show of my life EVER and I would very much like to be Tom Haverford when I grow up. So yeah! Just to let you know, we're basically already best friends. AW YEAH!

Greetings! c: The name's Payton, and I'm a fifteen year old lady-person from Southwest Missouri. A few fun facts: -Third year in NaNo, and I've won every year so far. -I play xylophone in marching band. Remember those little keyboard toys you had when you were kids that only had about eight keys on it that you hit? I play the big version of that. -My music taste is a little bouncy. Anything from folk covers of rap songs, Broadway, to bluegrass covers of rock songs. Lots of indie, lots of covers, and lots of Broadway. -My biggest TV addictions are House, Glee, United States of Tara, Doctor Who, SNL, and The Guild. -I'm currently writing YA fic. My main plot is a male MC with dissociative identity disorder. I've put in boatloads of research for this topic, so I hope it turns out well. If you feel like chilling, feel free to hit me up. I love meeting new people who aren't Daleks!

Hey everyone, I'm Robin. I'm 17 and in my last year of high school. I'm awful at writing intros for myself but if you can bear with me that'd be awesome. This will be my first year attempting NaNoWriMo, and I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to write about yet. Is that bad? Maybe. I'm leaning towards fantasy but I haven't outlined, created characters, or anything. I'd love to have a writing buddy who loves The Chronicles of Narnia and fantasies like it. I don't watch much television anymore, and have an absolute distaste for things like Glee, High School Musical, etc. I'm not sure where I'm going with this..but yeah! I can get along with pretty much anybody so feel free to message me. :)

Heyo everyone! I'm Ilana, 17 year old girl from Arizona. The list seems to be the easiest way to introduce myself here, so here we go: - This is my 4th year doing NaNo and hopefully my 3rd win. - I am a fan of NCIS, Doctor Who, House, and various random animes - I enjoy my video games, particularly Persona 3 Portable, Kingdom Hearts, and Portal - I love foreign languages, currently taking Japanese and partially fluent in Hebrew - Theater is my love whether it be acting or tech - Reading is also something I love, although I barely have any time for it recently. So, I'm hoping to meet a buddy who I can chat with about all the fun things that go along with NaNo! Such as (but not limited to) procrastination, Word Wars, plot twists, defeating writer's block, and what exactly happens to a person when they drink 5 cups of coffee in 2 hours. :D This November should be tons of fun!

Eh, what have I got to loose. Hey all, So I'm 17, but I'm willing buddy with anyone in the age range of about 15-19. A little bit about me: I don't play sports because I get injuries from walking on a flat surface, but I do love watching football and track(best friend ran cross country till she graduated) I sing(Lead first Soprano for my home-school choir) I play piano, violin and am in the process of teaching myself to play the mandolin I almost always have my nose buried in a book..no lie, I fall asleep reading. First official year doing NaNoWriMo, but basically wrote a 50K novel in November of 2009 due to swine flu and not being able to do school. I'm fairly easy to get along with I had one idea for my novel, but I changed it today deciding to go for a teen adventure story rather than my original plan of a memoir style chick lit. As far as a buddy, I really just want some one to keep me motivated and to bounce an idea off of every so often because no one else I know writes as intensely as I do. So if you want to be buddies, send me a NaNoMail or reply to this post. Thanks :)

Hi! My name is Marta and I am Spanish. But don't worry, I can speak English fluently so that won't be an impediment. I am sixteen years old. This is my first year trying NaNo and I am completely freaking out. I mean, I so want to finish this, but school and exams and everything sucks and 50k words are a A LOT of words. But anyway, I will be happy if I hit 35k words. And I am here looking for a writing buddie because I don't want to go through this alone. Some random facts about me: -I am into a lot of nerdy stuff. -Harry Potter was my childhood and I still believe the owl with my Hogwart's letter is lost and looking for me. -Have you seen my avatar? Do you recognise it? YES, I am a StarKid and I have seen AVPM, AVPS, MAMD and Starship way too many times. -I LOVE reading and even though I am still young, I have read A LOT of books. Righ now I am reading "Game of Thrones" and I need to finish it before November. No, no books for Marta in November. -My favorite book is "The Book Thief". It is the best book I've ever read and the one i have cried the most with. Seriously, if you haven't read it, read it. I promise it's awesome. -I watch a lot of TV shows too. Doctor Who, How I met your mother, The Big Bang Theory, Glee, Skins, Misfits and Modern Family are one of my favorites. This is another thing I won't be doing in November. I will be really busy catching up in December, but it is for a good cause. -I talk a lot. I think you have notices because this is getting pretty long. I migh seem shy at first, but give me some minutes and you'll wish I shut up. -I couldn't write without music. Adele has one of the most inspiring songs ever. I use Paramore (recognise the nick?), Plain White T's and Coldplay too. -I LOVE theatre and musicals. I am not an actress but I enjoy watching it. -I do write all the year, but not that much. -I have never written a novel before (50k words) The longest thing I have ever written has *goes to check it* 26133 words. -Fanfiction? I ADORE fanfiction. I read a lot of it and I also write it. And that is pretty everything I can think of right now. And before finishing, a warning: I will get really emotional this month. I mean, maybe I'll be crying because I have plotholes (which is going to happen) or screaming because I have just written an amazing scene. Who knows. If you are interested in what I said or you need someone this year, talk to me, I answer to EVERYTHING and who knows, maybe we are friends after this finishes. And we can be writting buddies next year :) Anyway, talk to me and we'll go through this together.

Thalia06 — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:18:24 +0100

Good day (or night) everyone. Thalia06 here though I go by Tally most often. Just turned 16 (October17) and this is my second year doing NaNoWriMo. I had some writing buddies last year (who will probably hear from me soon) and now I'm looking for more reasons to procrastinate come November! So here's my own list: ~I write fantasty. (magic!! I tried writing a dystopian story during AugCampNaNo, but I do love fantasy) ~I can be philosophical if you want. ~I'll read almost anything really but mostly fantasy. R.A. Salvatore is my latest obsession, he's just so good with battle scenes. ~I live in the U.S. (Oklahoma to be exact) I wouldn't mind having someone from another country and I like to think that I'm quick replying to any nanomails. ~I am in band, play the flute. ~Favorite color: Purple! ~Oh I'm in tenth grade, at the top(or at least near the top) of my class though I just stink at math. You may or may not hear me complaining about that. I'll try not to though I make no promises. ~Come November, contraction words will be near nonexistent, please don't think I talk like that. Well maybe sometimes. ~November's looking to be busy but I would like to go past 50,000 if I can get someone to motivate me to do so. ~I'll read your rants if you'll read my ramblings! ~I'm known as a quiet person, but I do love writing so if your thinking of me as a buddy expect to be bugged by me a lot:) Well maybe. ~I'm in track. ~I speak spanish and english, can read both but I'm slow with spanish. ~You can tell me all about your novel, success and failures, all my attention will be on you.(wait I already said I'll listen to your rants... what else do I have to say???) ~I will try to critic your writing if you ask. I've never done so before so I can't promise much. But I will give you much encouragement! Any other questions? I'd love to answer them and hear from interesting people! I'm ready to cheer on my fellow NaNo-ers:)

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

Lectin Gaezat — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:38:18 +0100

Morning, my loves. I'm Lectin, but people close to me call me Lec, among other things. I'm 16 this year, and this is my second year doing NaNoWriMo. I have plenty of writing buddies - and I am wondering if I could find a few more. So, let me list a few things about me, I suppose. -I write widely, in many genres. If there's a genre that isn't religious in nature, chances are I've done it. -I'm a rather varied reader as well, but I confess a soft spot for YA and Fantasy. -I live in Asia, somewhere about the region. it's not a large secret - almost anyone who knows me knows the country I am in, but I like to pretend I'm secretive. -I run a couple of blogs, and am drowning under plot bunnies. -I draw also, but not as well as I write, I suppose. -I'm multi-lingual, but I'm not a monkey to be fed peanuts to speak languages at a whim. -I love writing, drawing, photography, talking about food, culture and cultures I have not been to before. Now, here's a few things to expect if I'm a writing buddy of yours. -I very easily lose interest, unless we have a rapid-fire conversation. NaNoMail rarely works for me, unless you are an interesting person that I would love to converse with. If I try to arrange a conversation on something like Tinychat, I hope we can make it, because I'd be unable to cope and our conversation will fizzle. -I am always open to giving writing advice, but do take note that I am not exactly a nice, nor soft-fisted writing buddy. I will be mean to get you to work. -I can critique writing, if needed, but I don't really like to do so unless we're good friends. -As a writing buddy, we have to have /some/ form of common interest to keep in touch with, or I'm doomed to losing interest in you faster than the Titanic sunk. -During NaNo, I will probably be slower with my replies - I'm aiming for 300k for this month, so it is 10k per day - and it may very well consume my soul. I'll try to drag myself out of writing purgatory to fire off a reply or two, but don't count on it. Alright, love. If you want to NaNoMail me, just go ahead. I will probably trade emails with you - and that would be my preferred slow-medium to chat through. I'm taking on a few buddies, maybe 2-3. And don't worry - I am nice... most of the time.

Hi Everyone. My name is Amy, and I'm looking for a writing buddy. I'm 16, and this is my first NaNoWriMo. I love writing, usually anything around the young adult genre. Besides books, I'm a whovain, nerdfighter, and potterhead, and I cannot get enough of tumblr. I've also gotten back into cartoon, Adventure Time, My Little Pony, you name it. Some of my favourite authors include John Green, Jodi Picoult, Scott Westerfeild, and Suzanne Collins. So, um, let me know if you're interested? thanks :3

I'm 16 and I work in a freaking library (I think I love my job too much) and I would quite like a buddy ^_^ If you need someone at odd times of the morning then I'll probably be around to bounce ideas off, although be warned, I may end up screaming about how Sherlock is just not cooperating. I read everything, I mean, everything... I'm a whovian, nerdfighter, retro-gaming person. I think i get on with most people, so don't worry, I don't think I'm that scary :D I really love photography, and drawing. so, with that, I believe Terry Pratchetts new novel is calling! Meg :D

I play the cello, guitar and piano, am a nerdfighter, love Harry Potter, Fitzgerald, Star Trek and Doctor Who. I will give anything a try and will talk to anyone :) I'm going to do a gap year next year doing community and youth work in Croydon (London) and Zimbabwe before hopefully studying Politics Philosophy and Economics at uni.

I'm Laura, I'm 18 in my first year at Newcastle University in England and doing my first NaNoWriMo. I'm a music student and a singer, although in sixth form I studied music, maths, physics, law and chemistry so I've got a bit of a varied educational background! I'm a Harry Potter and Disney nerd, I like musicals, having a good time, exploring, eating peanut butter and watching The Big Bang Theory. This will be my first time writing anything longer than about 5000 words for one story (bar an 8500 word essay on Masonic imagery in the works of Mozart...) but nevertheless I'm excited about the challenge! I'm a great procrastinator so I definitely need a bit of a push sometimes, which is mainly what I'd need in a writing buddy. Sometimes I'm happy to just get on with something as long as I've got some good music on and a cup of tea beside me, but a lot of the time I just end up reading or watching YouTube videos. Laura

Hey! I am 16 years old, a girl and this is my first year doing NaNoWriMo! I am super excited and super nervous and I would love to have a writing buddy! Some things I love are Harry Potter, Team Starkid, Glee, just starting to get into Doctor Who, How I met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Shakespeare, reading, acting, dancing, writing (duh!) and much more. I am homeschooled but not for religious reasons (I am not religious at all!). I live in California but i wish i lived on the east coast, or europe! I am looking for a buddy around my age, someone who likes the same things as me, and i don't care about gender or how many years you have done NaNoWriMo!

Annie-May — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 00:45:08 +0100

Hello hello! My name's Annie, or any variation of you feel like using :) I'm 15, turning 16 this November. I'm writing a fantasy this year, it'll be my second year, and hopefully my first win! I take a college level language arts class, as well as other advanced courses, as I attend the Pretentious Academy for Nerds of all Kinds. Hmmm. Other random trivia about me: I play piano, I'm into archery and I like animals more than people, I have cats, gerbils, guinea pigs, and ducks, one of which is currently indoors recuperating from illness. If you'd like to know more, I guess you'll have to message me :) I'm pretty easygoing, and look forward to hearing from you!

RainbowConnection — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 02:40:58 +0100

Hi! -I'm Brigid. -I'm 18 -This is my 4th NaNo -I'm really into Glee (but mostly Chris Colfer and Darren Criss) and Doctor Who -I'm writing Steampunk this year -I love drawing and photography, though I'm not great at either -I have a wide taste in music (I don't tend to like rap or country but there are even exceptions to that), but right now I adore Florence And The Machine. Also showtunes. Give me all the showtunes. -I have a blog over here http://androidsfighting.tumblr.com/ if you would like to add me on there :D Send me a message letting me know you're from NaNo and I'll for sure follow you back! I need more people to actually talk to on there. Or you can NaNo Mail me. Whatever you like. :) -I don't know what else to say here, so if you want to know more just get in touch! I'd love to talk to ya!

C.J. Irene — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 03:32:21 +0100

Hello thar! My name's Coree! Or Irene, if you'd like. I am just about 15 years old and am a sophomore in highschool. I like in Okinawa, Japan. My father is in the military! I am religious, but I am really not one to shove things down people's throats, or even talk about it unless you bring it up. I dunno why this would be an issue but just in case. I am kind of "old fashioned" in certain things. I do not swear and an uncomfortable when others do, and I like to keep things very squeaky clean. I have a giraffe fetish. Especially when they're wearing monocles. That's what almost all of my school papers are about. I absolutely love Disney cartoons, especially The Lion King. Oprah is my hero. She's an inspiration. I can be rather silly, but I do take my writing seriously. I consider myself pretty good. This is my second year attempting NaNoWriMo but last year it was really bad timing. It is this year, too, but I'll try to make it work. I find that I can't write about anything unless it's in an animal's point of view. Usually it's dogs. I'd like to consider myself very friendly and accepting of all ages, old and young :} Just please be understanding of me and my personal obligations... and be willing to have fun. Also, my timezone is GMT+9.

Oh, hey! :) I'm Jorie, seventeen, a senior, and this is my fifth NaNo (hopefully third win). I like having writing buddies to throw ideas around with and just talk with throughout the month. I love The Boy Who Lived. John Green books make me smile. I spend way too much time procrastinating my Calculus homework, usually by ways of social networking sites. My tumblr and twitter are both in my profile. I like comedy TV shows and 80's movies. The Summer Set, Action Item, The Maine, Allstar Weekend, and Every Avenue make me happy. PM me if you wanna be writing buddies! :)

Hey, I'm Lynn, I'm 15 and a sophomore in High school. My older sis does NaNo too, and she's in her first year of College at Dartmouth. I live in Oregon, but grew up in New Hampshire. I'm in a play this year, going to be preformed early December, so practice right through NaNoWriMo. Ugh. I also have a zero period, (Jazz Band) which at my school means you get to school almost a hour before school starts. Plus I'm on the Knowledge Bowl team, Acedemic Challenge Team, Girls Golf team, possibly Science Bowl team, and Speech Team, have 3 Junior/Senior classes as a Sophomore and a 4.0. I feel like I have a death wish right now. I used to hate reading any romance, but in the past year I've warmed up to it and am actually writing a romance (sorta) this year. I love historic noels, like 1984 (that book broke my mind!) The Odyssey, Picture of Dorian Gray, Slaughterhouse Five, and Hamlet. But I also love books like Alex Rider, Percy Jackson, and Blood Ninja (By far the best vampire book that's come out in the past decade) I need a lot of people to talk to about stuff to keep me motivated, so I'd be happy to talk to you any time and to be writing buddies! Plus any help what so ever with trying to keep the romance realistic. NaNoMail me! :)

geros9 — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:57:32 +0100

Hey, I'm Gabby, and I'm a freshman in high school. :) -This is my second year doing NaNo. I won last year, but I had no idea how long 50k words was so I ended up doing so much filler that I barely got into my plot. My story this year is going to be a (hopefully) touching realistic fiction. -I'm Jewish, but I love learning about and talking to people with other religions. Just please don't try to convert me. -I love reading realistic or historical fiction novels. My favorite authors are Jodie Picoult and Marta Perry. -I have played piano for 7 years, and violin for 4, and I absolutely love both of them. -My favorite TV shows are 19 Kids and Counting and Dance Moms. - My other hobbies are cooking, crocheting, and making string friendship bracelets. Let me know if you want to be buddies. :)

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

CatOfManyWhiskers — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 18:00:18 +0100

Hello! -My name is Cat, at least that's my handle on the Interwebs. -As you probably noticed, I'm a bit paranoid. :P -I am 16 and will be 17 in January. -This is my first year of ever HEARING about NaNoWriMo, so this is also my first year joining. -I love fantasy and medieval fiction books, but when I say fantasy I mean well-written fantasy like Tolkien's, Riordan's, Rowling's, Paolini's, Pierce's and Nix's. I aspire to be a writer like them. -I enjoy writing medieval fantasy, contemporary fantasy and steampunk, though I'm not very good at the last two. Currently I'm working on writing a novel for here called 'The Door To Nowhere,' which is a fantasy/suspenseful novel. -One of my favorite ways to get inspiration for my writing is by listening to instrumental music such as that from OSTs of popular fantasy/medieval movies or groups like Apocalyptica, Nox Arcana, Two Steps From Hell, Audiomachine, Future World Music and Beats Antique (which I recently discovered). -Let me get one thing straight quickly - I have never, nor will I ever be, someone who is extremely cheerful, happy or too idealistic. I've been called harsh, cynical, caustic, overly sarcastic, pessimistic and over-realistic by my friends. But before you run screaming, I'd like to point out that I am friendly. I really am. And I can be a happy person. The only time I am ever 'unfriendly' or 'mean' is when someone isn't using the sense they were born with. ;) Just use your head and everything will be OK. -Besides writing, I also enjoy sketching (traditional and digital media), playing classical guitar music, painting, hiking, working on my Zumba (fitness dance) moves and spending time with my animals. -If you haven't guessed from my name, I am a HUGE lover of cats and have been since I was a little kid. -I also participate in an international medieval reenactment organization called the SCA as a 15th century Russian noblewoman (my heritage is Russian). This is partly why I like writing medieval fantasy the most. -I have no religion. I'm not an atheist, but I don't belong to any religious group either. Just saying. -Some of my favorite TV shows include Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe, Mythbusters (explosions, yay!!!), and Mystery Diagnosis. -I hope to major in English in college and become an English teacher. But we'll see. It might change! :D If you'd like to be my writing buddy, that is fine. I just posted here because I wanted to introduce myself. So, hello! And goodbye!

Hey, I'm Julia! I write stuff and then sometimes people tell me that stuff is good. I'm a nerdfighter and a youtube geek (I met Alex Day once and couldn't take a picture because my hands were shaking so much) and I love Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek (only ToS), LoTR (although I've only read the first book so far), Scott Pilgrim, and recently I've started getting into manga (I'm almost finished with Death Note and halfway through Vampire Knight). I play the guitar (fairly badly) and the ukulele (very badly) and I have a banjolele but it needs fixed up a bit before I can play. I write a lot of wizard rock songs and I'm hoping to branch out into trock soon, I'm just waiting for inspiration to strike. I read a lot (obviously, don't all writers also read a lot?) and right now I'm really into sci-fi from the twenties to forties (think John Wyndham) and also the eighties (think Ender's Game). I also love anything by Neil Gaiman. Um. Yeah. That's all I can think of just now. If you want to, please feel free to talk to me and stuff.

I do play guitar, but not that well unfortunatly. I'm studying social science, but I will try to make time for writing! I live in Sweden and don't know anyone else who's doing this so it'd be really great to have someone to share this with. I could defiantly use some encouragement cuz I'm already thinking about quiting and that's not good at all. So feel free to write hehe. =)

Thinking about majoring in English. - I love reading, writing, listening and playing music. I was in band for six years. - My favorite genre is fantasy.

Hey! I don't really know what a writing buddy is, but I assume that it's someone that you write with. On the internet. Or something. Anyway, it sounds like fun. I did NaNoWriMo last year and won, but I never really went on any of the forums or anything. My name's Manon (I'm a girl--I think I have to mention that because whenever a teacher reads my name off the roster they always assume they're looking for a boy.) I'm fifteen and a sophomore in high school. I'm a band geek and a book nerd. I play flute, piccolo and xylophone in marching band and winter percussion. I love history. If writers are categorized as either ones that plan and ones that do not, I am the type who frantically plans and plans and plans, and then ends up not finishing the plans and then we end up flying around Disney World on flying robot unicorns, which was the result of me asking my history class for plot advice as a last resort around 40,000. So basically, I am the type that should plan. Should. So, uh, be my writing buddy? :D

My favourite bands are: Paramore, Kings of Leon, You Me At Six and The Temper Trap. -I also love film. And the media in general to be honest. -I run three blogs on tumblr, one personal and two dedicated to members from different bands. So yeah, I can't really think of anything else, just message me if you're up for being my writing buddy! :)

I'm Kestrel - a 16 year old girl from Virginia USA. This is my third nano and will be my seventh novel (I've also written four screenplays). I love Harry Potter, Stephen King books, and British lit. I also like anime (especially Bleach!) and video games. My favorite books are The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, The Green Mile by Stephen King, and Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. I speak Chinese and Japanese (though neither fluently and my Chinese has gotten way better than my Japanese), and I study Chinese at school and have been teaching myself Japanese since 7th grade. I'm a junior in high school and I go to an all girls boarding/day school (I'm in the day class - I live at home). As for sports, I have been doing horseback riding for a long time, and I am a blue stripe belt in Taekwondo and a gold belt in Gumdo (Koren swordfighting - like Japanese Kendo. Think samurai.) I have a cat named Griffin who is white and fuzzy and has blue eyes (and rides in a stroller and walks on a leash and eats from a spoon). He's an... interesting cat haha Let's be writing buddies!

I enjoy writing, drawing, painting, sculpting, and singing, though I don't really think I'm good at most of it. I don't really have any favorite books, but I have read the Harry Potter books and I enjoyed those. I don't watch much T.V. but I have watched a few anime series. That's really it. I would enjoy a writing buddy, since none of my close friends really enjoy writing.

Hey, I'm Summer - a fourteen year old writer living in NorthEast England. NaNo's probably going to kill me, due to the fact that I have GCSE preperation to do as we speak, and my homework pile is actually getting ridiculous. I'm Harry Potter obsessed, a Huffleclaw (Claw according to Pottermore, Puff according to moi) and a total Draco Malfoy fangirl. Except I don't go to Hogwarts, I got to Pigfarts. It's cooler because it's on Mars. I'm also a fan of the Hunger Games, but I dislike Peeta. Gale is definately more my type. I write fanfiction - alot. Specializing in the NextGen section of the Potter universe, a obsessive shipper of LucyLorcan and JamesIIScorpius and now most people won't know what on earth I'm going on about and gosh.. I should just shush. I have a warped sense of humour and I love innuedos ALOT. Seriously, I spend half of my time creating up new, creepy innuendos that aren't even funny but yeah. Laters!

I posted earlier in the thread, but I lost track of which page I posted on. I'm Autumn :) Fourteen years old, homeschooled, and a Texan. Gig 'em, Aggies! I thought about participating in NaNoWriMo last year, but the month was busy, and I didn't have the time. This year, I hope to start and complete my first novel, which will be a General Fiction/Young Adult novel. It deals with a girl who is dying of cancer, and her journey of finding something worth fighting for. I would love a buddy who is writing in a similar genre, and around the same age. I'm willing to give my email and Skype information in order to contact said buddy. I can't wait to start writing together! It's going to be a fun month. If you're interested, let me know, -Autumn (http://www.ofperseverance.blogspot.com)

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

FalconX — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:36:49 +0100

These things always feel so stiff to me. xD But anyways, I'm FalconX (obviously not my real name), I'm 16 and a Junior in High-School. For the basics that might be important to some people, I am a christian, so if you're writing something with heavy romance or with a lot of cussing, then being writing buddies is probably out of the question. Last year was my first time doing NaNo, and I did win :D I'm hoping to do 2 for 2, which I think is likely, since I started 10 days late last year and still finished. I'm obsessed with fantasy/sci-fi, so that's the genre I usually write. This year is more sci-fi and I'm pretty pumped, since I actually had time to do some planning this year. I'm very obsessed with plots and character arcs and LOVE reading excerpts or bouncing ideas back and forth. I'd also be willing to read the finished first draft after November is over, if that's something you're interested in. So shoot me a message if you'd like to be writing buddies! :D

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

therenaissancegirl — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:43:44 +0100

Hey there! I'm Renaissance (Ren for short), and I'm a senior in high school. I love a lot of things, but my main passions are music, writing, and science. Music's been in my heart since the day I was born; science has as well, seeing as my dad's a molecular biologist. Writing is something that I picked up when I was about eleven years old, as a way to cope with the anorexia that was consuming me from the inside out. It clears my thoughts in a way that most things can't, and it's helped me come to terms with lots of personal problems and self-doubt. This is my second year doing NaNo; last year I finished with 50,214 words, and this year I'm hoping for 60,000. My stories are usually contemporary fiction, with lack of a better way to describe them. They're romantic, usually sad, sometimes hopeful, and always more than meets the eye. This year I'm writing a story that has actually been in the planning stages for years, and I'd love to have some buddies to be motivated by--and to motivate. I talk a LOT and I'm incredibly honest, so if you ever need someone to bounce ideas off of, share an excerpt with, or just plain-ol' chat, just send some NaNoMail my way. I'll be living on this website throughout November, and I'm generally awake 20 hours out of the day--so no matter where on this earth you are, you'll probably find me here. xD

Hey, I'm Caitlin from Pennsylvania. I'm sixteen and a junior in high school. I'm an artist as well as a writer, but I'm a slash fangirl through and through, just saying. Not like it's the only thing I read, though. I love reading anything, honestly. My favourites are Good Omens, The Book Thief, Eragon, Fat Kid Rules the World, The Giver. Music is also huge in my life. Anything from the Andrews Sisters to Buffalo, New York's own Brecken Wood to the Glitch Mob. TV - Doctor Who (like all those other teen hipsters...sigh), Supernatural, NCIS, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Scrubs, South Park, the X-Files, The Sentinel. Okay, so I'm normal.

MidnightMusings — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 01:49:56 +0100

So... Hi. I'm MidnightMusings, though feel free to call me Kate or Katy or whatever else. As the names Kate and Katy might suggest, I am female; I am 16 years old and a junior in high school. This is my first year doing NaNoRiMo, mainly because my muse has been devoured by my little sketches and other artistic endeavours for a while, though it has started to shift back to writing. Mostly what I read is manga (mainly stuff by CLAMP, but also stuff like Fullmetal Alchemist and Katekyo Hitman Reborn!), but Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel, and Harry Potter has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I love music, and playing guitar is a hobby of mine (even though I'm not very good). What else... Well, I'm good with reading just about anything- be it fanfiction, slash, het, whatever. Also, most of what I write has to do with fantasy or has some fantastical element. Oftentimes, I start something and am perplexed as to why a dragon or wizard has suddenly appeared. And... well, that's pretty much it, I suppose. I'm decent with editing, and for bouncing ideas off of, so... yeah.

Stazz — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 01:56:20 +0100

Hey! My name is Stazz. If you remember, though, please call me Jazz. Should have put more thought into my username... - I'm sixteen and a junior in high school, American, female, and very adamantly a redhead. - This is my first year here! My novel falls under the broad and vaguely defined category of LitFic. - I like to read and listen to music, my sense of humor is very dry, and my social life is 90% online. - I'm very easygoing and am nonjudgmental when it comes to things like religion, sexual orientation, etc. - I can be incredibly silly and hyper, and when corresponding I use waaaaay too many emoticons and asterisks and whatnot. I can also be long-winded. *eyes this post* Though I do try not to bore. - I'd love to have a writing buddy to talk with, spaz with, bounce ideas around with, exchange excerpts with, or whatever! I do swear (both in my story and personally) and there are most likely going to be some mild sexual scenes in my story, but everything will be fairly mild, few, and far between. Also, there is at least one lesbian relationship in my story. I won't mention it to you if you'd rather I didn't, but it is there and I do support LBGT relationships and rights. If anyone wants to get in touch with me, NaNoMail or a reply here is fine for initial contact and then we can take it from there -- I'm personally fine with pretty much whatever. The last thing about me that's probably worth knowing is that I'm not very good at talking to new people so it might take me a few exchanges to loosen up around you, but I promise I will! :) I feel guilty for doing things this way instead of asking someone who's already posted to be a buddy, but...I figure this way it's not as if I'm trying to force myself onto anyone, which is something I'm always concerned about. :S I may still ask people later, though.

Hello, I'm a 16-year old (getting 17 during NaNo) girl from Germany (are there any young Germans here?). I'm in year 13 and will get my degree (Abitur) hopefully next year. This is my third year trying to do NaNo. The last two years I gave up after a few days, due to a lack of ideas and much work to do. Actually this year I've got a lot more to do, so I registered on this site to get to know people who can help ^^ I really like reading (my favourite books are Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Sherlock Holmes, Bartimaeus and lots more; too many to mention) and I always wanted to write own things. However I've got no ideas, and no endurance to continue. Therefore I write mostly poems. And I really like writing poems. ^^ I also play the piano and therefore love listening to piano music and instrumental/ classical music in general. But I also listen to all kinds of other music: jazz, rock, pop, reggae, rap. I don't focus on a special genre or band, but like music from many different bands and people. There are a few bands/ singers I really like and from whom I like really many songs (normally I like one or two songs of one band). These are Queen (I love queen; last week i was at 'we will rock you'-musical - it was awesome!!), Andread Bourani (his songs are german, so maybe most of you don't know him, but i like the lyrics), the Beatles. In school I also like science, like chemistry and biology and maths. So you see my interests are very different: language (writing, reading; and learning English ^^), music, science... If you are intested in writing with me and become my writing buddy, just write a NaNoMail. Rala

I'm writing a Teen/Chick Lit story about fame, and I could really use someone who has done this before to help me! Um... Some stuff about me... - I live in Scotland, but I'm English. - I'm in my penultimate year of high school. - I'm mature for my age. Sure, I love movies and celebrities and music... but the good ones. Not whatever is "in" right now. - I love make up and nail art. - I'm vegetarian and I get a LOT of stick for it a school. I don't mind what anyone eats, as long as they don't give me grief about what I eat.

This is my first NaNoWriMo and I hope to succeed, as I have spent many hours planning my fantasy story and building my fantasy world. I enjoy rock music, and listen to a variety of different bands, In my spare time, when I'm not out with friends, I can usually be found watcing shows and movieson my laptop. I used to write poetry often, and regularly placed in the poetry competion when I was at school. I am looking for a writing buddy around my own age, to discuss plots charcters and ideas with, and generally pace me this November. Other info about me as well as the synopsis for what I plan to write is on my page. Please NaNo mail me if you would like to be my buddy :D

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

kreajxo — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 17:21:57 +0100

I keep wanting to reply to other people's requests for writing buddies but I don't know if anyone will find me interest... So here I am writing my own... please don't be put off by how much I've written you don't have to read all of it... Firstly, I'm Mindy, but you can call me creature if you like(not the kreature from harry potter, I'm spelt with a c and I came first). I recently turned 17. I'm a girl but I'm not at all girly and quite frequently find that I get on with boys far better than girls. I'm home-educated, most of you would call the home-schooled. I live in England.I don't really have much of an idea what I'm going to write but it'll probably be fantasy. Ok, most other people have listed things they like so I should probably do that too (that does make me sound like a sheep but I'm really not) Books... the His Dark Materials trilogy, LotR, Game of Thrones (and the books that come after, can't be bothered to list their titles and can't remember what the series is called), and I'm totally obsessed with the Hunger Games... There's a lot more but those are the ones that came into my head. TV... Heroes, Star Trek, the Clangers (just because I'm special so I had to put that on the list), Monty Pythons Flying Circus, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Firefly (Joss Whedon is a complete genius and I adore his work)... Can't stand Glee I'm sorry but it ruins good music... Films... With this one I could go on forever I have too many that I love... Almost all Disney animated films, everything Monty Python, Star Wars, Star Trek, Die hard, Jurassic park (even though really it should be called Cretaceous park), the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Labyrinth, Pirates of the Caribbean, Muppet Treasure Island, Final Destination (I know they're terrible but I still love them), Saw, Underworld, Battle Royale, Serenity, ok ok ok I'll stop now before I get carried away... Ok, other things about me. I have a terrible tendency to watch the same films and read the same book multiple times. My musical ability has the grand extent of knowing 3 chords on the Ukelele, also I do sing but not very well. I have a pretty good memory and can quote things very easily. I can't stand people who are homophobic. I'm not very good at talking to people I don't know. Also I can ramble a lot, as you might have noticed... Well, I don't care about age or location, I'm awake most of the time so it doesn't matter to me about time difference. I love listening to other people's ideas for writing and being encouraging and giving constructive criticism, I don't mind if we're writing about totally different things... So if you've bothered to read all of that and don't think I'm too insane(which I warn you I can be) and you still might want to be my writing buddy then I am happy to be so...

dcgirl4ever — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:46:20 +0100

I'm going to try to be serious here; I have a tendency to get snarky and sarcastic if left to my own devices when writing about myself. -My name is Kim, I'm eighteen, and I go to a community college where I'm studying to become an English teacher. -This is my third time doing NaNoWriMo and hopefully my third year winning NaNoWriMo. (: -I'm from the United States. -I write science fiction and dystopian novels for young adults. -If the avatar didn't give it away, I really love Supernatural. -Some other shows I like are: Doctor Who, Torchwood, Scrubs, Boy Meets World, Game of Thrones, Merlin, and, on very rare occasions, Glee (I watch it for Brittana mostly). -I literally JUST finished my ninth book and I'm really excited to begin my tenth one for NaNoWriMo. -I quote A Very Potter Musical daily. -Tumblr is my addiction; I can't stay away from it. -I won't deny the fact that I spend hours in front of my laptop playing the Sims. -My favorite books are Never Let Me Go, The Chaos Walking Trilogy, and The Hunger Games (the first two books only). -I feel a little weird saying this considering how badly it seems to clash with the rest of my personality, but I really love anime movies. Makoto Shinkai can move me to tears every time. -You can't restrain me during March Madness; college basketball becomes my entire life at that point. -I swear a lot sometimes. You can NaNoMail me or reply here or send a TARDIS crashing through my window if you'd like to be buddies. I really need someone to push me along; I normally have a hard time staying motivated unless I keep rewarding myself with food, and it would be nice to make it through the month without dying from eating too much, haha.

I'll just say it'll be like an essay. :) -Rap, rock, movie soundtracks and instrumental covers are what I listen to the most. Anyone heard of the Vitamin String Quartet?

Good idea. TV: Not too much. Doctor Who, Sherlock, and a bunch of Anime Movies: Pirates, LOTR, pretty much anything with Johnny Depp...I'm not a huge movie watcher. Books: Oh jeez. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, The Mortal Instruments...my brain is numb, but there are definitely a lot more. Music: Black Veil Brides, Asking Alexandria, Bring Me The Horizon, The Devil Wears Prada, My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the Disco, Enter Shikari, A Day To Remember, Green Day, Super Junior (Yes, I'm a K-Pop fan. And a J-rock fan) Mkay... other things about me. I tend to be a bit..."emo", I suppose.

I love writing, drawing, reading, and talking incessantly about the wonders of the Universe to anyone who will listen. :D This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo, and I am writing a sci-fi/mystery novel named 'Neurosis'. In this novel, a former neuroscientist who was kicked out of his university for experimenting on his dead colleagues is murdered by his own creation - another former colleague transformed into a mutant relying only on base emotions. When theoretical physicist Hank Mallender and chemist Marvel Gallagher are dragged into this situation, they are determined to investigate the death of the neuroscientist - and who funded his 'Emute' project in the first place...

Hi there! I'm MJ, I'm 16, a junior in a super-classy inner-city high school (haha) and I live in Minneapolis. -I'm very into realistic (or I guess literary) fiction, my favorite books being the Catcher in the Rye (I know, cliche, but its just so good), a Separate Peace, Brighton Rock, The Outsiders, and various memoir work by writers such as Augusten Burroughs and Dave Eggers. -This is my first year at NaNoWriMo -I'm big into music, I sing in my school's choir, play piano, and attempt to play the guitar. I like a great variety of music, but particularly alternative rock. Some of my favorite groups are Weezer, Blur, Portugal. The Man, and Florence + the Machine. -I am planning to study Psychology, Sociology, and English when I get to college. -My novel for November is about a lonely, extremely intelligent but insecure, teenage boxer, his many inner conflicts, and the boy who turns everything around him. -I'm usually really bad at staying committed to finishing a project, so I'm hoping this challenge will keep me on the path to a completed work. Fingers crossed. -As for fun stuff, I'm also a Gleek, and am quite obsessed with the Office, Modern Family, 30 Rock, and all the other quality comedies we are so lucky to have today! I'm also a bit addicted to the humor site Cracked.com. I love comedy but find writing it difficult, so that's something I'd like to work on as well. So yeah, if you want, send me a message!

Evening all, Duffy here. I'm 15, English, and just to clarify- male. Just had a bit of confusion over the handle on some other forums, perhaps because of a certain other Duffy. That was fun. I'm writing a dystopic sci-fi that I'm basing heavily on 1984 and assorted other dystopias (And sci-fis), I'm fairly paranoid (you have no idea how awful I am at maintaining activity in online communities) and I'm currently Let's Playing Half Life 2 on Youtube. If profanity offends you, then perhaps I'm not the guy for you. (Also free shameless plug, happy days) Mostly I just want someone who I can talk to, bounce ideas off and write with until the wee hours. I have one mate who's doing the thang, he's the one who convinced me to do NaNoWriMo, but he tends to go to bed a good few hours before I do and isn't online half the day anyway. There's other people I can talk to, but why talk to them when all I want to talk about is what I'm writing about anyway? Talking to them is pointless! Meaningless! They contribute nothing! Anyways, add me here, or on Steam, I'll just be chuffed if anyone takes the time. Cheers!

CurasiTayo — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:55:36 +0100

I'm an eighteen year old that gets lead around the nose by her characters. I don't consider myself anything like a good writer yet, though I've improved significantly in this last year. My friends usually tend towards the crazy but laid back, which ends up being rather fun. My name is Bronnen but it sounds weird when said out loud so I usually go by nicknames of some kind. My favourite are: Cura, Bronak (don't ask) or Monufu (also don't ask). I'll also answer to Bron, Bronze or any other variation of my real name. About me: - Well, I ride (horses that is). My family owns a red-head pony, a crazy horse, a monster 16.1 youngster, an old man and a challenged cob. Suffice to say we have reasons for the five: six regular riders plus three or four irregular ones and several poor (and not so poor) friends that nab rides for free every once in a while. - I go to Cornwall College, studying acting. Acting is so good to do if you're a writer, it's given me such an insight into people's actions and reactions! - My favourite books at the moment are the Rigante series by David Gemmell and The End of Mr Y by Scarlett Thomas. - I am boring. :L I have a 'friend' who said that a few weeks ago. I was like 'thanks', now go learn how to play snap and find out what 'no I cannot go out tomorrow, I'm busy' means. <- I can be a horrible person. - In fact a fact I forgot to mention: Females usually annoy me. It doesn't matter whether it's in books or films or real life, I just dislike women. (Yes I'm a female myself, and thus get on my own nerves.) There, however exceptions to the rule. I am "married" (the friend way not the 'love you forever' way) to my best friend Wifey and am plotting with another girl... ...friend. I also have guys I dislike, I'm just that type of person. *insert sheepish face* NaNoMail me I guess. (I am not expecting any *laughs*, I don't sell myself well when asking for friends.)

Oh golly. Well my name is Tess. I'm a seventeen year old high school senior. I am a very excitable person and my personality oozes out of every pore. I like to do silly dances randomly for no good reason. Some things about me: - I am co president of my school's Gay-Straight Alliance (and somewhere between gay and straight). - I'm pretty liberal and definitely an atheist. - I love art, fine art to be precise. - I love, love, love cooking and I love sharing the food I cook. - I am currently trying to join the Army as a medic (unfortunately, TRYING is the key word). - I want to go to college for medical technology . - I love school. It's home to me. I'm happier there, and I love and respect my teachers. So you should NaNo Mail me. We can Skype or talk on AIM, e-mail or maybe even snail mail. I actually have never used my Skype account and have been itching to, but I'm usually on AIM all November. We can Facebook too. :)

Ok, So I'm Elise, and I am 17. I am a freshman in college and I plan to major in biochemistry and minor in french. So here's my obligatory list of quirky/unique/nobody really cares personality traits. -I am a girl if Elise didn't tip you off. -I live in the united states -I am a big science geek. Big geek. My science-y interests include but are not limited too chemistry, biology, astrophysics, and psychology. -Actually, I should say astrophysics again, just for emphasis. -I'm really into science fiction/fantasy. The only reason I haven't done my synopsis/book excerpt is because I'm deciding between two ideas. -Nothing annoys me more then obsessive emoticons. -I love to debate. -I love to speak in french. -I can take a critique. I like it. How else am I supposed to improve? -I play the flute, and obviously write. -I don't like doctor who. I really don't watch much tv though, the advertisements drive me insane. I mostly spend my free time reading. Currently, I am working my way through Lolita and a book of TS Elliot. If you are interested being a writing buddy, send me a NanoMail. It seems like I am not the only one on here who experiences nocturnal sleeping patterns, so if you're up at an odd hour, I most likely am too.

Hey everyone, I guess I'm looking for a writing buddy (or multiple!). I'm Daniel. Asian (iono if that really means something), 17, and in the Silicon Valley in California. Probably gonna be an English major once I hit college next year. When writing, I tend to shy away from all the cliché things like relationship-y stuff or writing about writers. I also like quasi-paranormal stuff (?), like this series of multiple short stories I've written on a character who gets random superpowers every so often, like turning invisible or being able to telepathically hurt people and stuff like that. If anyone's big into bands like Rise Against, There for Tomorrow, and Linkin Park, that's the type of music I like. I also like Linkin Park and Paramore. Basically, I like any type of "yelling" rock, where the singers aren't screaming or crooning the whole time. Oh, and I don't have a driver's license or permit yet. Probably won't be getting one 'til I'm 19 or 20. =P This is my third year doing NaNoWriMo. I'm hoping I'll get my second win this time around. Yeah, so anyone up for being my writing buddy? =D

Hi, I'm Shelby. I'm 14 (young right?). I live in south Louisiana (yeah, we say "y'all" XD) I love Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and Sherlock. I have a tumblr (it's pretty much my life). Obviously I love writing, and this is my second time doing NaNo. I love The White Stripes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Jack's Mannequin. My favorite author at the moment is John Green, though I haven't gotten to An Abundance of Katherines yet (I plan to soon, though.) If it matters, I'm ginger xD I'm really into classic books and incredibly forgetful. I don't bite, so feel free to send me a message :)

DFTBA! - I don't have a favorite musician/band, but I LOVE Vampire Weekend, Ben Folds, Kate Nash, Jack Johnson, Coldplay and the Beatles. - I love 30 Rock, The Office, Parks & Rec, Community, Modern Family, but especially Doctor Who. - Matt Smith is my favorite Doctor. - I adore Monty Python. - I love Harry Potter, anything by Scott Westerfeld (but especially his Leviathan trilogy), Maureen Johnson or John Green, Percy Jackson & the Olympians, the Hunger Games, Chaos Walking, LOTR and the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. - My novel this year is steampunk with magic and a murder mystery thrown in.

JaymeFritz — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 05:00:43 +0100

Hi, my name is Jayme and I am a writing addict... "Hi Jayme." Haha, anyway, I am 17 and have been writing fiction since I was 12, though this is my first year doing this. I like adventure, fantasy, paranormal stuff and I hate to admit it but I like the side little romance to it too. I tend to be a realist who hates when people write things that are just not possible (yeah, I can be the nitpicker when watching badly written movies). My favorite television shows are House, How I Met Your Mother, Glee (though I'm losing interest lately), New Girl, The Office, and Once Upon a Time. I don't have a specific favorite movie, though I love most of Christopher Nolan's movies (Inception, Batman Begins, ect.), the Disney movies, and Anastasia. Music wise, I really like indie/contemporary music, though I listen to just about anything. I really like Adele right now and Voxtrot (though very few people know who they are it seems). That seems about it. NaNoMail me if you want to be a buddy. Don't worry, I'm really friendly.

Hello everyone! I'm a first year college student turning 19 in a few months! I love reading and writing...about the same of each! I am learning how to balance 18.5 credits with writing...and am finding it insanely difficult! Anyway I am going in between two ideas, a horror/mystery novel (who's summery is up now) and a fun comedy of four college girls based off of my and my three really good friends. I play flute and piccolo, but didn't manage to get into the Marching Band this year, but next year I shall. My most favorite thing I have said in my college courses was in a Constitution Convention imitation where my state decided to go for Monarchy and Tyranny and I stood up and stated: "We have been arguing about this for over an hour now. Clearly Democracy doesn't work!" (The stares I got from my fellow students were hilarious!!!!) Anyway I'm a fun loving girl who would love to have some writing buddies...so consider me =D

Hi everyone! I'm 17, female and live in Sweden, and I'd really love to have some writing buddies for mutual cheering and helping with plot problems and other problems that probably will come up during this month! I'm planning on writing a YA about a teenage girl who due to many small factors ends up all alone - and she learns the importance of getting outside help to get back on your feet. Hmm, maybe I should tell you guys something about myself as well. I love writing and always have, but besides from that I like listening to music, horseback riding, partying, drinking coffee, hanging out with friends, hanging out with my beloved computer, dancing in the rain (though I don't do that very often unfortunately...) I'm a true Harry Potter-fan and I also like watching tv-shows such as Grey's Anatomy, HIMYM, Friends, The O.C, OTH, Glee.... :) Like I said, I'd love to make some new writing-loving friends from all over the world, so please NaNoMail me if you're interested! I also wanna wish you all good luck, after all it's less than a week left until it all starts! take care :)

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

Audra Dancer — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 17:06:27 +0100

I'm a random bastardtress from a tiny town in Finland. I wear scarves, drink coffee and draw a lot. I also write poems and stories and of course do a little dancing. Hoopdance is my thing! I've also been singing in a band but I got fired from it because our guitarist didn't like my attitude and found I didn't like his either. Don't know about that, but at least I've got my indiepunk solo project to work with. So, yeah, I'm an art geek and somewhat proud one... I enjoy creating in almost every ways and nearly everything I do is just another form of self-expression. About music and art taste, I like nearly all music and art except traditional sculptures and some of mainstream pop music. Another thing I am is a scientific person: although I have some beliefs today's science can't explain, I highly appreciate scientific and logical thinking and hate when everything turns to nonsense without any logic at all behind it. Somehow people misunderstand my logic of things too often, though. I don't know if it's just plain bizarre and odd or either too simple or complicated but many people don't seem to get it. Talking about science and logical things, I'm writing science fiction this year. I'm partly a scifi freak too and watch and read lots of it from different time periods and so. Fantasy is another interest of mine, and I've been liking Harry Potter books and Lord of the Rings for longer time I can recall. So, I'm looking for writing buddies! NaNo-mail me if you're interested. You can also add me on AIM or MSN if you wish, just remind me of who you are if you've got different screen names. I don't, my aim handle is simply audradancer and msn address is audradancer(at)hotmail.com. I usually like every kind of people and am very tolerant and open for new views and such and it's only cool if you live in another country and so on. My sense of humour can be a bit strange at times but I definitely have one (or more). I don't bite much or hard but I hate when someone acts retard. Yup, it rhymes and is somewhat true. Craziness is fine but legible English and some sort of sense is always appreciated. It takes a fool to remain sane, though.

Hi people! So... yeah. This is my third year doing NaNo, I'm a sophomore in high-school, and I'm 15 and a half. Hm... I love writing buddies because it brings out my competitive side and forces me to write more. Sci-fi and fantasy are my favorite genres, though i'll read just about anything. My favorite things include: Harry Potter, Eragon, Anime, manga, science, writing (duh), and martial arts. I play flute (and occasionally piccolo) and sing. Tea is infinitely better than coffee. Ninjas beat Pirates. So.., yeah. PM me if you want to add me and i'll add you.

Skiffle. — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:59:15 +0100

Hey guys :) I'm Jett. I live in England. This is my second year doing NaNo but I failed last year, I gave up half way through and I've got an exam during this one to make things worse, so fingers crossed. I'm 15. Other than writing, I love reading, movies, art, music. singing, guitar and bass. I'm also really interested in all of the darker stuff like serial killers, I read about them quite a lot. (No, I'm not one of those psychopaths who worship them, don't worry xD) I love historical-esque fantasy (like LOTR and GOT.) but I can't write it to save my life. I've got a bit of a harsh/offensive sense of humor but I'm not mean to people who are friendly to me. Basically, I treat people how they treat me, but I'm a lot friendlier than this post probably makes me seem. Stuff I love: Lord of the Rings (more than any of the rest of the stuff on this list), Game of Thrones, Avenged Sevenfold, Turisas, HIM, Poppy Z Brite, Death Note, Assassin's Creed and Batman. I have Skype, MSN, Tumblr and Facebook if you want to be my writing buddy. So yeah, message me if you're interested, I guess :)

I am passionate about helping make a difference in the world, eradicating poverty and such; I participate in the 40 hour famine for example and hope to travel to those suffering countries in the future to help out. I am a neat freak and a perfectionist. I would love to visit London and the USA one day. Preferably I would like to have a writing buddy with similiar interests and -sorry guys- a girl. Any where from all over the world is fine because I would love to chat to people from other countries!

Hey, I'm Christina, 17 year old English girl (18 in two months). I love all things historical and, with any luck, should be studying history at uni this time next year. I'm studying history, philosophy and maths at A2. I play the oboe, which supposedly makes me insane (amongst other things) but aside from that I'm not too mad, honestly :D I'm also a cadet sergeant in the ATC. This is my fourth year doing nano and I'd love to have pretty much anyone as a writing buddy, although I might be a bit slow with responses to nanomail due to a lot of outside stuff going on this November. I'm actually a little bit worried about whether I'm even going to be a be able to finish it this year, but I'll give it my best shot.

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

LillieBeeXD — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 19:53:48 +0100

Hello, my name is Lillie, and I live in England in the North-East. I am 15 years old, but will be 16 in January. This is my second year of doing NaNoWriMo, and I learned a lot from failing miserably last year. Such as, actually have a plot! I have been writig for ages now, and gradually getting better every day. Of course it helps that I read a lot (usually horror, paranormal or Harry Potter). I can't really describe my personality, but I've got my sister to do it for me: "She can be friendly if you're nice to her, but most of the time, she's quiet and helpful, and isn't afraid of telling you the truth about things. *insert steely glare* Also, she's a bit of Harry Potter nut, so I wouldn't insult her about it; she may fly over to wherever you live and kick the living daylights out of you. Anyway, she's pretty awesome, but don't tell her I said that." As well as writing, I enjoy art. I've taken it as an option for my GCSE's, and surprisingly, I'm really good at landscape work. Portraits... not so much. But anyway, I do like to draw little pen sketches every now and then, and most of my good work is blu tacked on my wall. The rest has usually been given away to a friend or family memeber. (I once drew a huge picture of Sweeney Todd for my best mate on a piece of A3, and coloured it with watercolours and ink. That took forever, but I was proud of it.) November this year is a bit of a weird month for me to be doing NaNo, as I have a maths exam on the 14th, so naturally, I'm gonna need to be revising like hell. Asides from that though, I have no real big RL things. That I know of... :/ My NaNoNovel is a mystery and thriller, or at least I'm gonna make it seem like one. It has an influence from a recent masquerade ball I attended earlier this year, and it got me wondering about who could be behind those masks... Got a vague plot, and whenever I go to sleep, I always go on the lookout for ideas oin my sleep riddled mind. Anyway, if you'd like to be my writing buddy, just message me, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi, I'm Jordann (weird spelling, I know. Blame my mum, she's weird.) I'm 17 and this is my 2nd year doing NaNo. My fave books are: The Darren Shan Saga (and I include in this the Saga of Larten Crepsley), any book by Neil Gaiman, Virgil's Aeneid, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Percy Jackson and the Olympians (+ The Heroes of Olympus and the Kane Chronicles), The Young Sherlock Holmes books.... I could name more, but that would mean digging through my room for them. Fave movies/TV shows: Any Disney Classic e.g. The Lion King, Bambi, Brother Bear, Lady and the Tramp. BBC Merlin, Doctor Who, QI, Would I lie to you?, Russel Howard's Good News, Mock the Week, Van Helsing, X-men movies. Again there are others, but I can't name them all. Music: anything that sounds good really. I love the Narnia soundtracks, they're always so inspiring. If anyone wants to be my writing buddy, just nanomail me :)

SavannahAustin — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 23:21:21 +0100

Well, hello everyone! :3 My name is Savannah and I'm fourteen-years-old. I participated in NaNoWriMo last year but failed to reach the 50K mark. :c It's not going to be like that this year though! I'm looking for as many buddies as I can find since I can't get any of my writer friends to do NaNoWriMo with me this year. I'd like to socialize with more writers my age which I have been shy of doing so since I'm a critic of all things and everything. I'll be reading through all these posts and if I like you, then I'll reply to yours, but if you find that you want to be my writing buddy, don't be shy to say so. :) I really want to make a close friend through this or even just a casual writing buddy. Let me first address the most important topic here: writing! :) I love to write and I'm positive you do too. My writing style is similar to that of the science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke apparently. I have written from a wide range of subjects. I have written in fantasy, science fiction, paranormal, romance, adventure, spiritual, and almost anything you can think of but I have never completed a novel- EVER. This year for NaNoWriMo I will be working on Young Adult fiction novel that revolves around guys that develop a crush on girls who are evidently not interested in them. Dumb or great concept? I don't care whether you like it or not, but I like it and that's all that matters. :P (No, it's not all that matters. It's whether or not you're readers are entertained or moved by your words. Ah well, no use correcting my own words.) It revolves around these five girls and five guys who meet in the 7th grade and the males all secretly are in love with one of the girls. The girls know this, however, and they for the Star Group which is pretty much an in-joke thing about bringing people together who belong together. The antagonist in the story is the narrator, Lee Newton, and he's trying to break up the Star Group in present day(they're in ninth grade throughout most of the book)so that the protagonist who is the leader of the Star Group may come to realize that she's in love with him, despite her distaste. I'm planning on the plot going a lot deeper as the characters loose contact with one another since some of them go to different schools, but some how some way drama still happens between this group of friends. xD Yes, it's based off of the circumstances I have endured recently. Teenage drama... *rolls eyes* Well, here's a little about me. :) I'm in my first year at high school. I love anything to do with the entertainment industry especially animation. I adore movies of all type from any drama and I take a film class at school where we analyze none other than films. My bed is draped with a Nightmare Before Christmas comforter. I own the box set of every Powerpuff Girls episode ever along with a few Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends throw pillows(Craig McCracken is amazing). I'm often a procrastinator and a perfectionist. I never turn in my work at school, fearing that I've made a mistake one one little problem thus making my GPA drop which is quite ironic since I was apart of NJHS and may have been in line for scholarships. I'm usually considered the quiet type at school, but I'm just observing everyone and evaluating their decisions, psychologically. Why, of course, I don't use all that mumbo-jumbo scientific stuff; I just think we can best learn by evaluating by standards we already know. Don't ask how that makes sense; it just does! I'm independent and stubborn. I'm always open-minded when it comes to subjects, but I usually end up saying that my opinions on the matter are still superior. I'm very outspoken when it comes to these opinions. I try to be nice and not cause conflict. I try my best to be friends with absolutely anyone and everyone. I believe Jesus is the Messiah. I won't shove any of my opinions on any subject whatsoever down your throat. I always try to take in what a person's belief is so I can learn from their belief to perfect my understanding of the world. If you can't tell already, I love social sciences and I want to major in sociology then go on to pursue a full-time career as an author which would be a dream come true. :) I love all types of music since I believe it expresses our emotions. I don't really listen to mainstream music, but a few bands that you might recognize that I love are as followed: Boys Like Girls, FM Static, Taylor Swift, Blink 182, The Ready Set, Nirvana, Blake Shelton, Bowling For Soup, Lady Antebellum, Fall Out Boy, Jason Mraz, We The Kings, Savage Garden, Avril Lavigne, Jason Aldean, N*Sync, All Time Low, Goo Goo Dolls, Switchfoot, The Beatles, Anberlin, Train etc. (The last four are my favorite bands ever- in no particular order though.The first three are also my favorites and those in between I don't listen to much but I still love them.) Some other bands which you'll be lucky if you know who they are are as followed: Emery, The Scene Aesthetic, Something Corporate, Dashboard Coffesional, Our Lady Peace, Teddy Geiger, Hawk Nelson, Matt Nathanson, Vertical Horizon, The Format, The Maine, Jack's Mannequin, Chiodos, Tenth Avenue North, Augustana, McFly, Cady Groves, Jeremy Ashida, Rick Pino, James Blunt, and so much more! In fact, my favorite band ever is a band that used to be local but then a few of the members moved. They never became big and I always quote their lyrics to the point where everyone is amazed by the metaphors used within the songs and they ask me who the band is. I'm pretty sure some of you are familiar with those bands that I listed in the "lesser-known" category. I've been writing at this post for about an hour now. >.< Reply to ask me questions about my life or just NaNoMail me. I want writing buddies who are willing to always NaNoMail me whenever they get a chance from not typing. I want to do challenges and such with my buddies and form a group of friends on here. Whatever you want to do to get to know me, go ahead! :)

Hey all, New to NaNoWriMo and extremely excited. Little bullet points start now. -Am 18 and a freshman in college going for an illustration degree. -I write fantasy and science fiction so naturally I tend to gravitate towards stories like that. But that won't stop me from reading other stuff. -Am spiritual not religious and a little more liberal than most. But that usually doesn't stop me from getting along with people. -Still a poke'nerd FTW! -I don't watch tv so I don't know what's going on in the world XDDD I'm looking for writing buddies to share interests and keep on track. I'm honest, and can be helpful critiquing, but as I am a fragile soul like most artists, I will keep that in mind as well. ( Btw I should note that for this NanoWriMo my goal is to get much farther on my already novel of 5 years. It's a fantasy/adventure with a dash of romance/erotica...((> w>...It's much later on but for younger buddies I'll probably just edit those out XDDD)). It already has 30k words so to be fair in the competition I'm gunning for 80k. Anyone who can help me reach this goal would be greatly appreciated <3. Just want to give an advance if this would be a problem.

Hello, This is my first year doing this, I'm 15 and live in Canada. My writing style is humorous and slightly philosophical, and I'm really trying to use this experience to experiment with different ideas and to see what works for me. I'm looking for a buddy to bounce ideas off of and to stop me from trying to do everything at once. And if anyone needs ideas, I'll do my best to help.

*waves enthusiastically!* :D Hi, my name is Savannah. You can call me Savvy, Savvers, or any variation of my name you please. I'm hyper. VERY hyper. Facts? - I blog about writing. - I have three huskies. - I'm homeschooled. - I'm a junior. - I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT!! (It's like her lyrics see into my soul...) - I'm kind of EXTREMELY spazzy. Mom says I'm charismatic. I think that's her way of calling me crazy. - I'm terrified of dentists, karaoke, splinters and using port-a-potties. Not necessarily in that order. - I've been writing since the fifth grade when I lost my class elections. It's a long story...*SPOILER* I lost. - I'm a theater nerd, but Musicals are my nemesis. I think it has something to do with my lack of coordination and extremely off key vocals. - My favorite word today is: Barbecue. - Favorite music? Silverstein, Breaking Benjamin, Paramore, Adele, Ellie Goulding, Secondhand Serenade, 30Seconds to Mars, Mumford&Sons, The Civil Wars, Parachute, Panic at the Disco, Mayday Parade, and whatever my best friend has on her iPad. :) - TAYLOR SWIFT!!! *fangirlish giggles* - I am a pastor's daughter. The good kind. - I may or may not have crushes on both Nathan Fillion and Hugh Jackman... - I'm dressing up as Katniss for Halloween and stopping by my local library to see how people react because that's the type of person I am. - I work out. (Ha! Just kidding!) - I'm half Canadian. - One time I had this nightmare that was so disturbingly sick and twisted that my mom cried when I told her. She told me to never turn it into a novel. We'll see. - I am running out of facts about me...DANGIT! - Oh! I play guitar and sing on my church worship team. - I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT!!! Oh, wait, I said that already, huh? Ha. Add me as a buddy? :) Pretty pleasies? Also, I love you.

Hi everyone! I thought I may as well post on here, since NaNo starts for me in just over 2 days. So, my name is Carolynn, but most people call me Caro. I live in New Zealand where we ride kiwis to school and sleep in the bush every night. I'm also quite sarcastic. I'm 16 at the very end of NaNo, which should be fun. I love to read and write (this is my second NaNo). My favourite books/series are Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Gone, etc. I'm a Nerdfighter too. `Awkward introduction is awkward. I'd love it if you sent me a NaNomail! :)

Maria Susan Williams — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 05:49:42 +0100

Yo! Okay that sounded dumb(read dumb?). Anyway I'm Maria and this is my second year doing NaNo. I'm looking for a writing buddy to exchange ideas with and possible share smaller chunks of our NaNo novels. Last year I failed but I'm determined to succeed this year. Right so now things abut me: -I'm 16, will turn 17 in November -I prefer fantasy but science fiction is okay too I guess -I live in Alaska -I don't have as much time for NaNoWriMo as I'd like -I love Doctor Who but I'm cool with those who hate it -I refuse to discuss theology -I'm generally not hyper -I'm willing to give anything a chance if a friend says its cool -my spelling is horrid, couldn't spell my way out of a paper bag =P So if you think you'd like to be my writing buddy send me a NaNoMail, please include something about yourself. Chances are that I'll decide I'll like you and we then shall stalk you to the end of the earth(total sarcasm, like beyond sarcasm). Note I may deiced that we aren't likely to get along well enough for what I have in mind, I'll let you know. That last sentence pretty much ensured that no one is ever gonna talk to me didn't it?

eli-la — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 12:18:51 +0100

Hey guys! :D - I'm Eli - I'm Scottish - I've attempted NaNoWriMo twice before, and neither time got further than 10,000 words. - I tend not to have particularly strong views on much, only a few things that are important to me. - The above fact is because I like to make fully informed opinions about things with reference to proper evidence, and actually doing so is a real pain in the ass. - Basically? I'm lazy. - I play piano, tin whistle, guitar and violin. - I want to be a pianist, or something along those lines. - I actually play tin whistle in a ceilidh band, and get paid for it. - I'm obsessed with learning languages: I'm reasonably competent in French, have a basic knowledge of Spanish (I've forgotten a lot, though), and am learning Japanese. - I have horrible arachnophobia. Seriously, it's not even funny anymore. - I'm an LGBT rights supporter; if that offends you, then I probably don't want anything to do with you. - My favourite writers are J.R.R. Tolkein, Ian Irvine, Tamora Pierce, Koushun Takami and Shimura Takako. - Anyone who recognises where my profile pic comes from gets epic kudos and probably a better understanding of me. I'd love to have people to chat to, since none of my friends are doing NaNoWriMo. Idiots. xD

I love nature, history (particularly art history), astronomy, spirituality (I'm a new age tard), tribal cultures and myths/legends. Also, I'm currently obsessed with Supernatural. :B

Frenzy — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 15:12:37 +0100

There's just so much! :O Well hey there teens. I'm going to be posting random facts about me, and if by the end you want to add me as a buddy, then feel free to do so; if you feel you don't want to, then I don't blame you. :D - I'm just an average awkward 17 year old living in London. - It's my first year at NaNo and the closer it gets to the 1st of November, the less ~~arrogant~~ confident I'm getting. - I pretty much just fly through life with a "whatever happens, happens" sort of attitude, so that's probably going to be my attitude with NaNo. It probably won't work but whatever happens, happens, right? - I'm a fan of Rugby but haven't really played it in quite a long time. - My favourite band is PARAMORE! Followed closely behind by; The Pretty Reckless, Foo Fighters and Linkin Park. (I'd add Taylor Swift, but she's not a band.) - I've never actually finished any of my stories before, so this is probably the last thing that I should be doing. - I love chess, because I think it's cool. :) - My mind has sort of gone blank right now, coming up with facts about myself.... - Uh... I'm a fan of movies that a lot of people seem to hate, i.e. Jumper, Wanted and others... - Oh, and I'm obsessed with superpowers and superheroes and stuff like that, but have hardly any knowledge on superhero comics. Apart from my home address and phone number, that seems to be the details down. :) See you all around. - Oh! Just remembered that I'm a Whovian! How could I forget that? So Doctor Who is my favourite show, followed very closely behind by The Big Bang Theory. Now that's all. See you all around. :)

Bleeding-lilly — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 16:30:18 +0100

Hello all :) My name is Lilly, I am 15 years old, this will be my 5th year of NaNo, and I am excited for the incoming month! I've been thinking about it since school started. I am from Northern Ireland-middle of nowhere-in a house shaped box-in my head. I love music, just whatever it doesn't matter who sings it so long as it's a good song, and my favourite song changes every other day so I can't tell you what it is.... My favourite book? Oh goodness..... Uhm..... Alice in wonderland? simply because it was so silly and insane and I did enjoy it even if I barely understood it. But I have too many to really only pick one. My favourite film is the corpse bride because it's awesome!! I don't play any instruments, although my boyfriend keeps trying to teach me.... it never goes well. I do really quite like anime, but I don't ever really watch proper t.v, I do love doctor who though, because bow ties are cool. I can knit and sew. I draw a lot, some of them are half-decent too. Photography but I don't have a great camera.... I've been doing ballet since I was 4 years old, I've had pointe shoes for a while now, they are so sore! Gorgeous but sore. If you need a buddy to talk to late at night seriously add me, I can't sleep during november.... or ever really. If you need someone to bounce ideas off of or whatever..... So, I'm available for advice, or just random talks when you feel like your head will explode from the pressure I check my NaNo mail like once every hour so feel free to message me :)

Hey guys! I'm Kiriain (my real name is yet to be revealed) and I'm 16 like the majority of the thread. I love to read books. If you put a book in my hand, I will most likely spend the next five minutes to two hours reading it depending on how long the book is. But now I wanna get into writing. I do blog somewhat on my Tumblr; but I want to also write a novel and get it published. I also love the Japanese and am learning it. I'm still nowhere near fluent but I could definitely hold my own in the Land of the Rising Sun. I am new to NaNoWriMo and I haven't read much of the rules so I guess this'll be baptism by fire. Oh well, I'm sure I'll do fine.

I'm Alex, I'm a sixteen year old dude going into my fourth year of NaNo. I'm either writing high fantasy or urban-fantasy this year. I just reached a moment of indecision and might be completely changing my plans because I'm great like that. I'm a huge Kurt Vonnegut fan, my favorite movie is A Clockwork Orange, and I read far too much Junji Ito manga for my own comfort. I'm a Marvel fan. I love David Bowie. I have dressed up as zombie Captain Kirk twice in the last two weeks. I don't watch much TV, but when I do, it's either Venture Bros., Doctor Who, or random cartoons and documentaries. I am as I type rewatching The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari. I call myself a rationalist mystic because it's easier than saying, "I believe in ghosts and fae but also science but also Slenderman." Yup!

I'm Caitlyn. I live in a part of Georgia [the state, not the country] most *other Georgians* have never even heard of. I'm 16. I'm crazy-busy with school [7/8 of my classes are honors or AP academics; the 8th is French II], but I make time for things like writing, watching The X-Files, reading, procrastinating...by doing my homework at about two in the morning. I am also a bit of a night owl. Obviously. I'm a chemistry nerd, a math geek, a physics dork...I'm into theatre [if I had space in my schedule/got along with the teacher, I'd still be taking drama classes]...I love to write poems about ANYTHING. I love Poe, Dickinson, Browning. I'm obsessed with British accents [not in a creepy way...in an I-wish-my-voice-sounded-like-that kind of way]. Reading a good book gives me ALMOST the same feeling that caffeine does. Almost. JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, JK Rowling [I SWEAR I like some authors who disclose their names!] [and I'm beyond obsessed with Harry Potter...my little brother is named Harry James Potter *last name here* :D]...they're my favorites. I also love 1984, Farenheit 451...and about eight million others. I love Bones, The X-Files, Numb3rs, Dexter, Warehouse 13, Eureka, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, The Day After Tomorrow, any movie directed by Tim Burton, The Shining... I'm obsessed with My Chemical Romance. And Mayday Parade. And Green Day. I'm a vegan. I have ten cats. Yes. Ten. An obese white cat with green eyes [Skulli], an obese tabby cat [Mantis], an almost obese white cat with a green eye and a blue eye [I-Pod], a white cat with blue eyes and a grey spot on her head [Spot, but her real name is Peppermint], a deaf white cat with a green eye and a blue eye [Helen, but her real name is Candy Cane; she and Spot are sisters], an INSANELY obese Siamese cat [Mela, but her full name is Melanie], a multi-colored cat [13], a black kitten with stunted growth [Lucky], and two polydactyl/Hemingway [it means they have extra toes] cats [Noran Radd and For Whom The Bell Tolls, nicknamed Noran and Belle]. So if you're not bored to tears by my rambling description of myself, then I'd love to be buddies with you. :P

Hi, all. I'm Quis, or Gabi, or whatever. I'm not picky. I'm a 16 year old chick who watches Dr. Who, Glee, Mythbusters, Star Trek and numerous other things. I can sing most of the opening song to AVPM without lyrics. All 9 minutes of it. I've also used Ginny's Song as an audition song. I can repeat the opening monologue from Star Trek from memory. I'm a pianist and a vocalist, in 3 choirs, and regularly accompany my school choir. I'm an atheist and a GLBT activist. While I don't mind if your beliefs are different, note that my novel this year involves around both of these subjects. I'm a huge reader, so I've likely at least heard of your favorite novel, even if I haven't read it myself. My favorite authors are Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams, and Jim Butcher. ^If you haven't read any of their stuff, you really, really should. So. Message me. I'll respond to anyone. :D

Yola everyone! I'm Josh, but you can call my Joshie. I'm 16 and I'm a complete newb to NaNoWriMo. I love to write poetry, but I'm ready to write something bigger. My favorite TV shows are Criminal Minds, Glee, and How It's Made. I'm a complete newb to Harry Potter too; I'm on the 4th book and love them! I have recently been struggling with my faith, but I was born and raised in the southern gospel apostolic church land. I also happen to be gay. My "planned" novel will revolve around challenging the values of today's society and reflect some of the hardships I've found along my life. I'd love to get a buddy to write with; I'm try to no avail to get friends to write with me. So feel free to message me! We can talk about serious writing stuff or just chat. (Just as a note, as I've recently noticed, my grammar is pretty good, but I have an extreme problem with ending sentences with prepositions.) :P

Howdy, I'm Hannah. 15. Australia. I'm new to NaNoWriMo. I'm an Atheist, though I haven't got a problem with anybody having different beliefs. Unless you try to convert me, then we may have a problem. I love Harry Potter, and most books, Not Twilight though, I never hopped on that bandwagon. I have an odd taste in music and watch way too many movies. Most of all I can't stand people who discriminate, in any way, shape or form. Also, I have a strange sense of humor which doesn't transcend well over textual based communication. Apologies.

Hi everyone!! I'm Vayne and 13. I'm originally from Malaysia, but I've been in the very exciting New Jersey since I was 2. - I watch an unhealthily large amount of TV shows. My favorites are Fringe and Doctor Who, but I also have 15 other shows that I watch regularly. I'm also an extremely big fan of all things Aaron Sorkin. (Don't ask me about Studio 60. I don't want to talk about it...) - I am also a pop culture junkie. - I'm a newbie. I discovered NaNo last week. - I LOVE Harry Potter. I also enjoy occasionally reading Oscar Wilde. - To say I go on Tumblr on a regular basis is an understatement. - If I could afford it, I'd be on the first plane to London right now. - My favorite bands at the moment are Coldplay, Bon Iver, and Mumford and Sons. - Marvel movie nerd. - I love journals. I've never kept one past a year, but I'm trying to do so now! - I'm an atheist, though my family and friends don't really know. - I'm kind of socially awkward. Not online though. No eye contact required. - I play violin, guitar, and keyboard. - I speak English (which should have been obvious to you for some time now) , Cantonese, and very, very bad Spanish. - People who know me know that I'm a workaholic when it comes to school. People who know me very well know I am somewhat lazy and quite the procrastinator. -Sorry this was so long. Oh, and add me! I'm probably going to get about 10 hours sleep for the whole month of November, so I'll be available a lot. Nanomail, add, reply, find me on Tumblr (link is on my profile), email, or, you know, not. Whatever you want to do! :)

Wow, it seems like everyone here is sixteen! I'm Meera, I'm not sixteen, and this is my third attempt at NaNo ... I haven't won yet (forty-four-and-a-half-thousand in 2008 - so close!) so I'm ridiculously motivated this year! I live in Australia, occasionally stalk Youtube for completely unknown indie singers and can practically recite all the Harry Potter books and films from memory. Feel free to message me, I'd love to meet you! :)

Hey everyone, I'm Zach, and I just turned 16. This is my first year of NaNoWriMo, and my story, hopefully, is literary fiction about a college graduate travelling around the world to catch up with everyone he's lost contact with. Think international Catcher in the Rye, but more up to date and less lame XD. Anyways, I'm my free time, I'm really involved with theatre stuff- both being in shows and running tech. I'm also a big fan of movies and anime, if I ever have time for them. I'm a sophomore in high school living in Central time in the U.S., so yah, feel free to message me!

Oh my gosh! Does everyone on here LOVE HARRY POTTER??? Every single post, or at least a lot of them, say they love him. He's probably... never mind. So I love writing buddies! Especially when these buddies write... because it seems like no one at my school likes writing. It's 'cool' to be an idiot... Waaah.

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

autmned — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:36:14 +0000

I'm 16, from South India. This is my first time doing NaNo. I listen to a lot of indie pop and a little bit of this and that from every genre. Some of my favorite artists are Wilco, Neutral Milk Hotel, Regina Spektor, Belle and Sebastian, Bright Eyes. I watch an EXCESSIVE amount of tv. In recent times I've watched Weeds, HIMYM, The Big Bang Theory, Skins, Gilmore Girls, Modern Family, New Girl, My Little Pony, and quite a few more. I like indie-films and rom-coms. Favorite movies include Juno, Garden State, 500 Days of Summer, Napolean Dynamite, Mean Girls, most pixar and disney animated classics. Oh, and recently I watched Fight Club for the first time and I thought it was BRILLIANT. Watched again within 3 days. I mostly read YA books. My favorites are the sci fi dystopia kinds. And that's the type of book I'm planning on writing. Some favorite books- The Chaos Walking trilogy, The Giver, The House of The Scorpion, The Time Traveller's Wife, The Series of Unfortunate Events. I think I've typed too much and I suspect no one is going to read this. But if you did and you're not bored to death, please do message me or go ahead and add me as a buddy! kthxbai! :)

YoshiQue — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:23:23 +0000

Hello all! I am currently in search of a buddy for writing. I am 15 and live in a very rural part of the US. I really like reading, my favorite genre is Dystopias. I won Nanowrimo last year but my novel was crap so I am hoping that this year I get to actually write something acceptable. I like photography and sewing. I combine those two into my doll collection. I am better at doing comic strips and children's book than I am at novel writing. That pretty much sums up what makes me tick. I am very nerdy and quite frankly boring but I hopefully strike a cord in someone as I am currently buddy-less.

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

LSlash — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:31:31 +0000

I'm a little too lazy to go through all of these pages to look for a writing buddy so I'm hoping a couple people might come to me instead. Hey everyone. I'm Laurel, but everyone calls me LSlash. If you were wondering, I'm a fifteen year old (tenth grade student) from Ontario, Canada. As much as I'd love to write some Pokémon fanfiction, I'm more focused on writing a science-fiction/fantasy novel I've been plotting out for a while. It's my first year in NaNo and I'm incredibly hyped up about it. When I'm not writing I do have a few hobbies. I absolutely love to roleplay and I use it to improve my writing skill. Recently I've been learning how to play the bagpipes. While I may not be a big reader or avid television viewer, I tend to stick to my fandoms. I love Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Friendship is Magic and Vocaloid. I also like Homestuck and from what I've seen I thoroughly enjoy Doctor Who. Aside that, Tumblr is one of my favourite websites and cats are amazing. To everyone on this board reading this and I guess to everyone not reading it as well, best of luck to you in NaNoWriMo. Hope for the best, try your hardest and win.

There are already too many people on this website listing off too many amazing things for me to keep track of. Augh. So far I'm in love with all of you. For me, my life is dedicated to Doctor Who and Sonic. And things like Gurren Lagann. Does anyone know Gurren Lagann? Oh, probably. >.> I can't begin to fathom how many things I'm obsessed with, so Imma just leave it at those. Oh, may as well mention. I've never really jumped on the Harry Potter boat, but I think it's mostly 'cos I was never allowed to watch it or rea the book. So it's never caught my interest, but I'm not saying I don't like it. It's just one of the few nerdultimate things I haven't devoted mself too. Oh, and ponies. I'm a bronie through and through. Surely there are plenty of Doctor Who Bronies out there. It's the Sonic this seems to be lacking so far. Name's Dash, I'm 15 2 (I refuse to turn 16, so this is my second time going at 15), and I can be a pretty terrifying fangirl at times. I don't actually understand too much about the 'Writing Buddies' concept, but I'm not about to pass up an opportunty to mean amazing people. Oh, and for the apparently huge Doctor Who fanbase here, --> allons-y.wall.fm <>

Toirse — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:59:00 +0000

okay, so I'm Lena and 18 years old. I am currently in my last year of school and don't have much free time. It's my first attempt at NaNoWriMo and while I do have a story in my mind it seems pretty crappy at the moment. Well, maybe it improves with writing it down. Wouldn't be the first time. Well, I am a huge Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Douglas Adams, Isaac Asimov and Marion Zimmer Bradley fan. Oh and a bunch of other authors I don't want to write down. I love every book on my shelves. Each tells a story of his own and sometimes just the scent of their pages or the first sentence puts me into the situation when I first read them. yeah, I will attempt to write in English and not in my mother tongue German. I have no idea whatsoever what will expecting me. Okay, I am tired and have school tomorrow so I just stop here. And hope anyone will message me.

Hallo! I'm Amelia! I'm fifteen, and this is my (sort of) first year participating in NaNoWriMo! I tried last year, but I was lacking motivation and tools for writing. This year, I've prepared through all of October, and I'm READY! I'm from Ohio, I love reading, but I'm reluctant to write even though it's a career path I want to take. Along with screenwriting (I'm going to try ScriptFrenzy too!), film making and directing. My favorite shows include Doctor Who, Psych, Adventure Time, X-Play, ATOS, The Proving Ground, and many others I'll probably end up kicking myself for not adding them. X3 Favorite books... Nope. Not attempting that. Books I've been reading (AKA overdue library books laying around my house) Going Bovine and A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray, Devilish by Maureen Johnson, and whatever manga I checked out. Yes, I am a huge anime/manga nerd. And video game nerd. Uhhh I'm currenty lacking a laptop that can connect to wireless, but I am using a klunky old Windows 98 Dell from the late 90s/Early 2000s for NaNoWriMo this year. If you want an in-depth synopsis of my Novel, NaNoMail me! And go ahead and add me as a writing buddy! Happy writing!

I'm thirteen, I'll be fourteen on Thanksgiving this year. I have a passion for writing of all forms (I write a lot of poetry and short stories, more than I novel). I'm a geek and I care a lot about school. I'm Agnostic in terms of religion, but you don't have to share my beliefs, I'm open to anything. I'm on the eastern US time zone. Oh, and just a warning, I rebelled a little bit and I started my novel early, so I'm currently 25% in already./: I really don't care what a writing buddy's like, but it would be cool if you had Skype/AIM since I prefer instant messaging better than NaNoMail. Also, it would be nice if we could word war... a lot.^.^ Just reply or NaNoMail if you're interested! I can't wait to meet you!

Hey guys. This is my first year but i've been writing a while. I'm 19 (a bit old her but it said early college!) I'm writing a Teen- Younger Adult (meaning actually young adult like 20's, not young adult like 13 xD) Fantasy novel. Strong female lead and what I think hasn't been seen before. I'm a lesbian, so no one whose against that will work, and I make a lot of jokes and can be a bit sarcastic when chatting (but wont when critiquing.) I will soon be doing some university courses online (i have an illness i'm trying to get in line) but right now I have a lot of time. I'm in eastern standard time (if that matters). I want to be buddies with someone who will help will in a lot of aspects of the novel, anything from pushing if word count isn't improving to helping with plot and reading for improvements, and I want to reciprocate it for the other person. I'm really looking for a friendship in my writing buddies. Anyways, check out my profile to see about my story and feel free to send me a message with any questions! I hope to get to meet some of you :D

Hello. :) ... Oh, right, I'm Silverblown/SB/Bor/Anee/whatever you feel like calling me, s'long it's not offensive. I'm fifteen (goodness knows I still feel like I did at age twelve). I love Star Wars, Neopets, Glee, MLP:FiM (and a proud brony at that), HP, drawing, daydreaming, dozing off, a strange variety of music, and many other things. I live in a remote country you've probably never heard of and I'm homeschooled which unnecessarily means I have no life. :3 My novel this year, Strong Like You (working title for now), is about a suburb located on the very edge of a large fictional city, and the troubles its inhabitants face, in the eyes of a certain man who leads a very different life from what you would think. Just so you know, I had a better defined idea before this, but scraped it about twelve hours ago. Wish me luck! *and good luck to every one else* .... Oh yeah, be my Writing buddy? 0:-)

Hey everyone! I'm Bouchra and I'm 18 years old. This is my first NaNo, and I'm writing my novel in Arabic, so unfortunately not everybody on here will be able to read it, unless I plan to translate it -- let me finish it first before thinking of that! However, I still would like to have some writing buddies, and I don't have a specific type of person in mind, so everybody is welcome. I'm bilingual and I speak both English and Arabic fluently. I usually read mystery, crime and adventure fiction. I also love medical thrillers (Robin Cook, anyone?). I'm homeschooled, and I'm in my junior year (yeah, I'm quite late for my age, but better late than never!). I live in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I'm a Muslim (but I don't mind my writing buddies belonging to other religions/not religious at all). I live in GMT+3 and I usually am online from around 12 pm to 4 am. That's around 5 am to 9 pm EST.

Hey, I'm Dayton, 19 year old sociology student from Texas. This is my first NaNoWriMo and I'm way behind, I keep dumping plots and now I have less than 5 hours and I'm trying to finally outline a plot I think might work! My likes include hardcore and indie music, playing guitar, video games, horror, and sci-fi. My favorite book is John Dies at the End by David Wong and my writing idol is HP Lovecraft. HIt me up if you're doing some horror or sci-fi!

Hello, I'm Gabriella. I'm 15. It would be wonderful if my mind didn't just go blank. I seem to not remember anything about myself. I like books. Writing them and reading them. Be my writing buddy? I'm sure we will get along famously!

Hello, fellow teens! I am Melissa, 16, almost 17 years old. I am living in America with my dog, Nikolai (shepherd, husky, border collie mix), our family dog, Midnight (black lab), my two horses, Ruby and Roxie, my mom and dad, and my insanity. I have two older sisters, both of which have moved out of the house. One is also participating in NaNoWriMo! Which reminds me - this is my second year giving this a try. As a band person, it's very hard to find free time. ;) Any other band person knows how that is! I am very much a tomboy. I like going fourwheeling, shooting guns as well as bows and arrows, and just being outdoors. However, I also am an anime freak and enjoy video games, but mostly RPG types. I am a huge animal lover. Hugehugehuge! I want to be a photographer once I go through college. I still have a ways, only being in my junior year of high school. A few favorite books/movies/anime series... The Sight/Fell by David Clement-Davies, The Chanters of Tremaris trilogy by Kate Constable, Maximum Ride series by James Patterson... King Arthur (2003), ALL the Harry Potter movies (SQUEE!), Memoirs of a Geisha (the music, people! <3), Hidalgo, Lord of the Rings... Wolf's Rain, Tales of Symphonia (game AND anime!), Gundam Wing A/C, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle... Okay, I'm going to stop ranting! Guess NanoMail if you wanna be friends!

I've left a few comments, but I guess I should leave an official post of my own. My name is...well...you can call me SFS, or something else...I haven't decided which nickname to use here yet. I'll let my buddies know when I decide. I'm a girl, 18, just started college, HIGHLY sarcastic, but also very tactful, and I don't have many particular talents. i love a lot of things, like The Legend of Zelda and Kingdom Hearts and other video games, but I really suck at playing anything that requires the use of more than 2 or 3 buttons. I love SciFi, and I just don't understand why LOTR and Star Trek and Star Wars and Narnia can't all coexist in harmony. And epicness. And speaking of epicness, Katniss is the bomb and if I had to chose between Gale and Peeta I'd explode. Arya is SO falling for Eragon. I LOVE Murtagh, but he's going to die. Some people say I'm a child, other people say I was born middle-aged. It depends on the situation, I guess. My other passion is foreign stuff. Whenever I hear people speaking Spanish, I get all happy because I understand them (I'm Puerto Rican), and if I hear something I don't understand, I get even MORE excited and have to restrain myself from asking what language it is, and if they can teach me some... There's a lot of other stuff I could say, but I think this is enough. If anything here intrigued you or if my Eragon theories pissed you off, send me NaNoMail and I'll explain it more. I hope to hear from you!

I'd better leave a post here too. I'm LJ. I am 15, I am part of one of those Australian Schools Which Have A Special Year Nine Program (look them up, hard to explain..) I am from the state of Victoria. And I dislike Sherlock, mainly because of Tumblr (and the people there) BUT: I like David Tennant as Dr.Who. I am a recent 'Da Bungalow' convert, (woo go our pooh kids tv channel which started showing the slammer last year..) I play Team Fortress 2, I have skype (and if you would add me and not say I'm odd, that'll be great). I am oddly mature for my age, which makes people running around me look like complete fools. I don't like much that everyone's mentioned here. I like Harry Potter, it was my last 'find out everything about that' hobby, now it's 'dick and dom in da bungalow' and everything else. I study forensics! If you want some help, message me. (And I have twitter, but :P)

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

Saah — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 02:18:20 +0000

Hi there, I'm Sarah. I'm 17 years old, in my senior year of high school and... Well... How do I put this so it doesn't become long and rambling? I like... stuff. Usually, I like it a lot- the spazzing out, jumping and dancing kind of way that nerds like things. It can pretty much be said that I like television, music, books, movies, and games. Yes, I know a lot of things fall into those categories. I tend to like everything. Even most of my classes in school- History, psychology, people, etc. interest me. I guess so people reading this know whether they have anything in common with me, I should give a few examples... This is where things get difficult for me... It's so hard to choose a few things. We'll start with... Korean dramas. Youtube. Cartoon movies (my favorites are Aladdin and The Road to El Dorado...) The Vitamin String Quartet. Kittens. Writing (obviously...) BBC. Romantic comedies. Wizards. La Pucelle: Tactics (crazy game.) Sims. Blogging. Hannibal Lecter/other serial killers. Crime drama in general. Disney/Nick/CN. Hank Green's music. (This could easily go on for eeeveeeeeeeer. I'm stopping now. It feels weird.) I only dislike the things on the following list: Pills/medicine, loud dogs (when they're quiet and happy, they're adorable), spiders, boring prologues (or forewords or anything boring that comes before a book that I want to read... I always feel like I should read the stuff that comes first, and it kills me if it's so boring that I never get through it...), computer viruses, you know... terrible things that people generally don't like anyway. I have... Yahoo, Google, Livejournal, AIM... For people who prefer those things to NaNoMail. I just really want some buddies who I can actually talk to/use as some sort of motivation. My buddy thing feels all empty. :(

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

Niihyl — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 04:02:22 +0000

Erm... 'sup? I'm fifteen, high school freshman, enjoying AP classes, essays, tests, bipolar band teachers, *gasp* required gym, being shoved into lockers, and eating lunches marginally better than middle school food. I hail from South Korea, a land of mangled English, but at the very least not as bad as Japan. ;) But I get all of my wonderful toys from Japan, so it's all good. This'll be my first NaNo, but I've been toying around with writing for a couple years now. Play-by-post RPing is a hobby of mine, and has actually probably given me a lot more practice. In the great outdoors, (or the gym) I enjoy rock climbing, snowboarding, archery, and will eventually try skydiving. When I turn 18 and don't legally have to listen to my parents. I'm addicted to TVTropes, which is where I actually get a lot of inspiration. And procrastination. Anime is always fun, from Baccano! to Ouran High School Host Club. Video gaming is pretty big for me, which means Skyrim will murder my writing time this November. As will that 15 page paper I haven't started yet. I'm mostly an RPG person, with anything from Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei series having a certain place in my heart. Tactics are good too, games like Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Nippon Ichi stuff. Open world sandboxes are great, where I ignore plot entirely and run around destroying things. *Cough*GTA*Cough*. Not actually big on first person shooters, both because I've never liked them much, and can't hit the broad side of a barn. I could shoot at the ground and miss. Writing-wise, I write fast, and hate revising, something that'll be good in NaNo, bad everywhere else. I like first-person, and villain protagonists are always fun. Why be good when being evil is so much more fun? (And profitable) I'm writing about an evil overlord, who isn't all that evil. Just... pragmatic. Wit and snark are always fun to write and to read, The Dresden Files being a favorite series of mine. Fantasy and Sci-Fi are probably my favorite genres, being the little geek that I am. Harry Potter is my childhood, and I look back on it fondly. Of course, it was only three years ago... whippersnappers. I can't really call myself a geek though, not having seen the original trilogy of Star Wars, something I hope to remedy soon. If Netflix would get it. Eh... that's pretty much all that I can think of right now. Nothing I would really dislike in a buddy. I don't discriminate... Hey look, 3 hours to go! Not that I'll be writing at midnight... P.S. I really overuse ellipses... Aw, I did it again...

Hi, I guess you can call me Jack until you get to know me better. I'm new to the forums completely, though I've been NaNoing for five years. Never finished a novel. - I'm 19. - I live in California, USA, the Golden State. - I like writing, music, drawing, and acting. I like to do a little bit of everything. I'm basically looking for someone I can have cool conversations with, because that would be enough to inspire me to work as much as that person. And also, an added plus would be: the person is a writer who plans to be published. Anyway, this is like the king of summaries, because there's so much more to me than this. I was just lazy.

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

LiberatorOfThem — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:49:57 +0000

HI everyone! My name is Anthony and this is my first year doing NaNo. But I could definitely use some buddies to participate with. I'm 18, graduated high school this past year and taking a semester off before I start college. I mostly write and read horror, fantasy, and supernatural stories, with some dipping into theology here and there. My favorite books would have to be The Dark Tower series and The Stand by Stephen King. I'm also a complete Harry Potter nerd (guilty Slytherin), and I am in love with a book called Our Tragic Universe by Scarlett Thomas (so, if you know that book, there's even more incentive to be buddies). My favorite TV shows are Doctor Who, Buffy, Dexter, 30 Rock, Fringe, and Avatar The Last Airbender. Favorite bands are Voltaire, Frank Turner, In This Moment, Saul Williams, and Vitamin String Quartet. I have a ponytail and I am also participating in No Shave November. I'm ecstatic about NaNo and can't wait to meet some other writers.

Hi! I'm Valentine and 14 years old. This is my second year doing NaNo and I hope it gets better than last year! Second try, best try, no? :p I'm from Belgium so my English isn't that good, but I'm trying! Btw, I speak French and Dutch (if you guys have an idea which language Dutch is...) My hobbies...well, I like dancing and I'm practicing it 6-7 hours each week. I also play the piano and spend a lot of time with my friends and boyfriend. Last year I started writing at midnight but yesterday I had a really tiring day so I still have to begin my story. It's a kind of science fiction/war thing with romance, haha. Sounds weird... Enjoy NaNo '11 everybody!

Shiromoto — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:01:34 +0000

I'm looking for a writing buddy! I'm Nick. I'm 15 and a high school junior, hailing from New York. I'm in AP, and so far successful in all of my endeavors, but I'm shockingly lazy. I write all sorts of things, usually a strange mix of mainstream and science fiction/fantasy. I love manga, and when I'm not writing I usually play video games and compete in Pokemon card tournaments. I also like board games -- all kinds of games, really. My number one goal in life is to become a well-known author; that's been my dream since first grade. Besides writing, I dabble in drawing and acting. This year I'm trying to write a book with a manga feel. I want to create that high-velocity comic book aesthetic without pictures. It'll be a challenge, I think, but I'm going for it. It's about the son of a legendary chef in this high fantasy world. He wants to cook, too, but it's not as easy as it sounds -- if only you could buy dragon liver at the local Stop and Shop! ...Since someone threw it out there on the first page, let me just note that conservative Christians would probably be offended by me. I'm about 98% sin. I mean, if you prick me, I probably bleed rainbows. (Oh, I can be kind of sarcastic. c: )

zaifie — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 14:41:13 +0000

Hello there! Looking for a writing buddy, same as everyone else here :) I'm Sofia, 16 years old, and a high school junior. This is my first year doing NaNo, and I'm honestly feeling out-of-touch with fiction writing at the moment. I toyed the idea of writing fanfiction since it seemed easier, but a non-fanfic idea I'd been playing around with for quite some time now got my attention instead. If there is one thing I can say for a fact, it's that I like reading. I like reading to the point that it's like a stress-reliever for me. I don't have much funds (in terms of money and time) for books, so I usually read fanfiction nowadays. I write and draw as well, although writing makes me self-conscious and drawing makes me frustrated... I like watching anime when it's school break, rarely ever during, although I'm always trying to keep updated on manga. Considering myself socially inept (yes, even on the web), I don't think there's anything I'm particularly looking for in a buddy, aside from being able to chat and help each other with story-writing. :)

Hi there everyone! - My name's Kate! *waves* - I'm quite nearly 17, but not for a month or so yet (December 10th can't come soon enough!) - I'm a high school Junior, technically I'm home schooled/ cyber schooled, I did however spend Kindergarten through 9th grade in public school, so I empathize both sides - This year I'm writing a YA novel, it kinda sits between literary fiction, mystery, and paranormal romance (ghosts, not vamps or werewolves or mainstream stuff like that) - I'm Christian, not overly conservative, but I <3 Jesus! Yeah! - I consider myself a hipster (Indie kids are awesome) - I mostly read memoirs, and I very rarely read YA novels (strange, no?) but I do enjoy a good fiction - I have read Twilight (though my liking for it diminishes with it's popularity) if I had to choose I'd be Team Jacob - I'm a Ravenclaw for any of you who like Harry Potter out there. - I LOVE music. I play 4 instruments and listen to everything under the sun right now Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto is my fav - Movie are another thing I love, INCEPTION is my all time Fave while (500) Days of Summer is my chick flick fav Oh I could ramble on forever, but I'll stop now, for your sake. If ya wanna be buddies, just go right on ahead and ask! I'm looking for someone whom I can procrastinate a little with and who will talk to me in time of un-inspiration. I hope we can be buddies =D

Lumynescence — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:53:51 +0000

Hi everyone. :) I'm Kate, 19, a college sophomore (I feel so old) who currently lives in Vermont but came from New Jersey. I love writing and reading, of course--and hanging with friends, going to metal and rock shows, singing in choir, and all that good stuff. I actually like school too, that is when I can be in charge of what I learn. :) I'm majoring in English Education and love it. As for favorite books, there is a motley selection here and there that I love. I adore most of Margaret Atwood's work, and Philippa Gregory's. Some all time favorites are The Red Tent, Cat's Eye, Sweet Dream Baby, The Wideacre Trilogy, The Glass Castle, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Poisonwood Bible, The Hunger Games Trilogy, Jane Eyre, and some indie novels and fanfiction I find on the nooks and crannies of Amazon and other sites. ;) I'm so excited for this year's Wrimo! Probably because I'm not going to procrastinate. :P If you would like someone to read your novel and to exchange work to help each other, feel free to talk to me. Or if you would just like a buddy. :)

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

JustinDGoodman — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:21:35 +0000

Howdy all. My name is Justin(If you couldn't assume.) I'm a Long Islander(New York, for those of you unfamiliar. Even some New Yorkers haven't heard of it.) I'm 19. Not much to say, I suppose. I attend St. Joseph's College, a quaint little place, as a sophomore majoring in English and Philosophy. I live a boring life, honestly. I read, write, game, and study my days away. I spend time with friends, when they're not away at college, though and do find myself taking long walks. (Thankfully not on the beach. At least in this weather.) I enjoy the placidity of my life, despite how uninteresting it may sound. Now, I could compose an enormous list of the books I love. I'm going to opt with my top ten books and top five authors. Mind you, none of these are in any specific order. Books: A Clockwork Orange, Brave New World, The Stranger, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, The Foundation Series(Technically several books, but, whatever.), Things Fall Apart, The Road, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Dark Tower(Also several books, but, whatever.), and My Sister's Keeper.(I admit it. I thought it was a magnificent book.) Authors: Albert Camus, Samuel Johnson, Phillip K. Dick, William Shakespeare and Cormac McCarthy. I'm going to be unoriginal here, and just copy/paste what Lumynescence said. "If you would like someone to read your novel and to exchange work to help each other, feel free to talk to me. Or if you would just like a buddy. :)" I know, I know. How lazy of me. Credit is given though, plus, I kept the smiley face. Everything is better with smiley faces.

Ohhai! So I'm uhmqat, but in the world outside of the internet I go by Mickey. Here's a few bulleted points so you can shuffle through this comment easily: -I'm 19...and a girl, should probably mention that. -College freshman for art therapy and psychology...possibly a Spanish minor. -I enjoy all types of art. -Though this is my first NaNoWriMo, I've finished a novel (but not in a month). -I'm a sucker for a good romance, but I also enjoy fantasy, horror, anything honestly. -I love talking, which is why I've decided to make this a bulleted comment so I hopefully don't ramble. Oops, it's starting. -I might be a hippy. I attend Burning Man events (not actually Burning Man, though...yet) if that makes the 'might' any clearer. Looking for buddies, I get along with most, so don't be scared to send me a message. Figure I should throw this in since everyone else seemed to, HUGE Doctor Who fan, becoming a Harry Potter fan (but more into Lord of the Rings), and a self proclaimed faerie. So yeah, guess that's it. :]

Hi, my name is Hannah. I'm 15 and I live in Nebraska. But the typical Nebraskan stereotype aside.... I do not belong in the midwest. Straight up. I'm going somewhere where I can look outside the window and see ocean. I've lived in a bunch of states before, including California and Washington (my two favorites). I like writing (duh) and also the confused looks on peoples' faces when I use my sarcasm. It makes me feel smart ^^ I'm a girl, incase the name Hannah is not gender specific enough for you. My birthday is in November. I'll be writing the whole day. Just kidding, it'll be on a week day. I'll be at school, writing under my desk ^^ I need a buddy because I have this thing about procrastinating. I procrastinate often, and sometimes I just plain forget (I'm a very forgetful person). For instance, I'm procrastinating right now from writing, by writing this.

Never heard of NaNo before yesterday, hope you don't take it personally. And I should not be here. I should be reading my school book for a test this Friday. But I like to live dangerously (not really). Don't make fun of my terrible English unless you speak a very hard language like Portuguese, okay? Love romantic, silly books, but I read everything else too. Kidding. I don't do eroticism. Anyway. Hello. Please don't ignore me.

I just writed my bio and I'm tired of talking about myself, so if you want to know what I like and all that, go read it! I'll love to have some writing buddies to chat with and motivate each other. I know I'll need it xD

BryonyH — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:43:06 +0000

Hi all :) - I'm Sian, but on the internet I go by Bryony (one of my middle names) - I'm 17, and I'm from England, and no, before you ask, I don't like tea. - I'm short, sarcastic and socially awkward. - I adore Harry Potter, Doctor Who and anything that has Andrew Garfield in it... ;) - This is my first year doing nano... I attempted it last year but my laptop rather conveniently died on October 31st so obviously that didn't happen. :P - I'm currently studying for my A levels in History, English lit & Politics - Just a note that might put people off because I saw some people saying that they're quite conservative, I'm an atheist and although I'm not gay, I'm a huge supporter of gay rights and my project is based on this and therefore obviously has a gay MC coming to terms with his sexuality. - I go to a boarding school so if any of you are writing about that and need any help then feel free to bombard me with questions, it's nothing like you read in books or see in movies! - I'm a huge history nerd and I've applied to study it at university... My main interest is American History, particularly the African American Civil Rights Movement. - I've never actually finished one of my own novels but I'm hoping this will be the first. - I'd love to have any of you as a writing buddy... I'm sure I'll need the motivation, especially with all the work I'm meant to be doing for school! xxx

Hey all, I'm Owen. This is more of an experiment for me than anything; I enjoy reading, but haven't written much for a good year or so, and decided I may as well give Nanowrimo a go. I'm 16, from England, and an Atheist (I have no idea why people are mentioning their beliefs, but I didn't see any self-proclaimed Atheists in my brief browse of this thread, so felt I compelled). I'm into a lot of things, but in an attempt to summarise myself briefly, the best I can come up with is the following: I am free, in almost every sense of the word, and as open minded as you can get without being stoned. I like to think of myself as an interesting person, but its hard to self evaluate such subjective things (side note: I am f*cking awesome), so if you're at all intrigued then add me lest we live our lives in darkness without one another.

Too much amazingness in this thread. Can I give a little summary of myself and hope that you all decide you want to be writing buddies with me? I am Emily. Nice to meet you. 16, British, Potterhead, Whovian, Nerdfighter, First year of NaNoWriMo and determined to do this, no matter how crazy I go in the process. I literally want to be friends with EVERYONE. Internet friends are just the best. Can we create a group in MSN/Skype/something along those lines so we can all go mental together in our nerdy determination to ignore our social lives for a month? MSN: crystalem@hotmail.co.uk.

Hi there, I'm Maggie...I have done absolutely no planning whatsoever, due to my overwhelming tendency to procrastinate....I'm a Christian, but I would not be opposed to a buddy who doesn't share my beliefs completely. I plan to write in the Steampunk/Fantasy genre this year. I ride horses, play piano, sketch a ton, and write anything and everything. My addictions are Harry Potter, LOTR, good music, especially the free kind, and caffeine:)

Hello there. :) My name is Darryl, I am fifteen years old, and I want YOU as my writing buddy. No not you! YOU! Over there, hiding in the corner, with those wonderful traits that mean that you and I would get along better. Oh, you're not sure what I'm talking about? Well, let me tell you a bit about myself. I live in Missouri. I'm obsessed with pie. I love writing (that wasn't obvious at all...). This is my first year at nano. I'm writing a book about a psychic academy. I really don't care if you think that's weird..*sniffles*. I love Eragon, Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, House of Night, and countless other books that would take years to list. My religious affiliation is not of the Christian persuasion. I thought I'd let you all know that now so there isn't any animosity or feelings of betrayal later. However, I am not averse to having a writing buddy that is Christian. I am a very open person, and unlike some people, I don't judge nor do I have any desire to. I am also gay, so if that is a problem, well, you do not have to become my writing buddy. :P I do not particularly have a preference of gender, just someone who could accept me as I am in order to enjoy our time together as fellow authors. I also really love music. I play the piano, the viola, the guitar, and I sing. I also love science, and psychology. Well, that's a bit about me, and it is not coherent in the least. Don't worry though. I don't write like this. My style is very formal and riddled with complex sentences. If you wanna be my buddy, lemme know! Thankee!

Hello all, I’m Chloe, an 18 year old from a delightful little country called Ireland. I’m currently a first year in University College Cork, where I’m taking European Studies with French and Spanish. I’m from Dublin but (obviously, if you know Irish geography!) live in Cork. I came down here knowing not one single person, and absolutely adore it and the freedom it offers. I love languages – I can speak English (again, obviously!), Irish, French, am learning Spanish, and will probably take some classes in Euskara, Breton, Portuguese or Catalan next year. Travelling’s one of my biggest passions in life, and I tend to get restless if I stay in Ireland for too long! At the moment, my favourite places to explore are France and Spain, but who knows? That could change with my next trip abroad! I love music and shows – my favourite bands are Jack’s Mannequin, Fun. and the Beatles. I do, however, have a very soft spot for All Time Low – I know the music’s not groundbreaking, but they’re lovely boys! I’ve met Alex and Jack three times, Zack twice and Rian once, and am now known as ‘KFC Girl’ to Alex. Andrew McMahon, however, is my hero and I’d encourage anybody to pick up a Jack’s Mannequin or Something Corporate CD or to watch his documentery, Dear Jack. I also adore stand-up comedy – Tim Minchin’s my favourite, he appeals to every atheist sensibility in me and is an incredible pianist and musician in general. Russell Howard, Bo Burnham and Noel Fielding are all great too! I have a thing for great American sitcoms too - Arrested Development, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Party Down, Modern Family..I'm sure you get the picture! I do like Irish/UK TV sometimes - Father Ted is possibly the best sitcom ever, you can't beat the IT Crowd or the Mighty Boosh, and we do a panel show like no other - I'm looking at you, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI, Republic of Telly, Mock the Week et al. Basically, I'm procrastinating my Spanish assignment/wordcount badly, and I'd love to make new buddys, so reply away!

Hey! My name is Julia (but I use Carly online and as a nickname sometimes) and I am 13 years old! This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo. Here are some things about me!: - I love Harry Potter, Maximum Ride, Percy Jackson, and The Secret Series. Especially Harry Potter. - Im also obsessed with drawing, acting and filming. Practically anything that has to do with the arts. - Im lefty! - Music is my life, it gives me inspiration. I love a lot of different kinds of music, depending on the mood I am in. If I am in a dancing mood, I'll listen to Ke$ha, if I'm in a inspirational mood I'll listen to songs with meaning, and I try to interpret them. - I live in New York! So those are the basics about me. I'd love to have a writing buddy!

Just to add myself to the daunting list of people: I'm Kaitlin. I'm 16 years old. I love pretty much all things fantasy, but I don't read or watch many current things, so I'm pretty out of touch. This is the first time I've done Nanowrimo and I'm looking forward to the chance to better my writing skills, though I know that mostly comes during December. When it comes to adding buddies and such I know next to nothing, though I do understand the messaging system at least. Technology tends not to be my best friend.

Hey, I'm Delpha! 14, 15 on the 8th of May. First year of NaNoWriMo - I'm really pumped! A bunch of my friends are in on NaNo as well. We started up a NaNo support group and spell check on a site called Verpets. C: It's really fun! I loveee to write but...I don't get to read much! I'd rather spend my money on video games, I know, it's silly, but I have a very low attention span and reading is a bit difficult for me! No, I'm not uneducated, just dyslexic. ono Drawing is my other hobby. uwu I rather fancy horror movies. Last one I saw was See No Evil. I usually watch shows like NCIS, CSI, ect...but I'm getting back into Young and the Restless and I'm starting to fall in love with Grimm. I don't belong to any religion and I'm not that interested in any religion truthfully. Although Wicca does spark a slight interest.... I'm adopted but stay in touch with my mother and her other two children. Can't really think of anything else, so nanomail me if you'd like!

fireflystorm — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 05:43:25 +0000

My name is Angelia, I live in Texas! I enjoy pies and assorted baked goods. In fact, I can cook pretty much nothing but. I also enjoy southern sweet tea. This is my first year of NaNo, and I'm a little nervous and really need a good kick to keep going. I love books that are rooted in reality with fantasy aspects. Some of my favorite books are "Will Grayson, Will Grayson", "The Story Of Forgetting", the Harry Potter series,"The Vagrants", and "The Street of a Thousand Blossoms". I'm an agnostic atheist, but I'm not shy to talk about religion in any case. I'm a little awkward but I try my best to be very social! I love to talk about anything: stories, personal life, food, whatever floats your boat. I play music (flute, piano) and draw in my free time, and intend to take choir next year alongside music theory. I'm an aspiring geneticist and I'm kind of a Jack of all trades – interests and skills in every area. My favorite sorts of music (as that seems to be a big inspiration point for people) are alternative/soft rock and electro pop. I love Oldies too, and classical music. Pachelbel's Canon in D Major? Yes please. Telemann's Sonata in F Major? I can play it by memory. I watch TV sometimes and my favorite things to watch are Bones and NCIS. Oh yeah, and how could I forget – Homestuck. Yeah. So uh, that's me! And if anyone else wants to be my buddy... Here I am! Let me know. <3

Hey, my name is Kim and I'm 17 years old, currently in my last year of high school. I'm a hopeless pig, I have a strange addiction to ear piercings (only 8 in total, though), I live off of coffee, and I'm a total bookworm. I write like there's no tomorrow, I blog and I get over a million hits a day (in my mind), and although I think Twitter is one of the most useless social networking sites out there, it's my favourite one to use. My taste in music is quite a wide range of things - as long as it sounds good, I'll listen to it. My favourite artists are Simple Plan, Company of Thieves, Faber Drive, Marianas Trench, Samantha James, Mindy Gledhill, Josh Groban, Kelly Clarkson, Eminem etc. I love and worship Jo Rowling & Julia Quinn, Robert Downey Jr. is "DA BOMB", Emma Watson is a goddess, and I like chicken. Game of Thrones is an awesome show, the Food Network is TV heaven, and at the end of the day, I don't really bother with TV shows (except for GoT). I'm a huge Harry Potter fan on top of everything else. After reading all that (and you probably judging me, which is cool), I invite you to be buddies with me in a totally non-creepy way.

SingerSnow — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:24:54 +0000

Hello all! My name is Emily and I'm 16 years old. Writing is my biggest passion and although I think most YA books are cliched and don't make sense, I love to read and write them. This is my second year trying Nano, but you could call last year an epic fail. Writing is my passion! There are only a few things that I love more than writing in this world, one of them being God. Yes, that means I am a Christian. If you choose to judge me because of that, feel free to do so. I live down south, and depending on all that's going on I either love it or hate it. Most of the time I am 95% sure I was supposed to be born and live in England. I am a total Potter head. JK Rowling has inspired me to do what some, including myself at one point, deemed impossible. I also like the Mortal Instruments, the Hunger Games and Jellicoe Road. My music taste lingers mostly around rock and alternative. My favorite sport is football! The SEC is where it's at! Friday Night Lights and Doctor Who hold my interest when it comes to TV. As for movies I love Moulin Rouge and Beauty and the Beast (Belle is my favorite princess.) Oh, and I have a soft spot for gingers. (Ruper Grint is mine!!!) Feel free to add me as your buddy....That is if I haven't scared you yet:)

Hi guys C: My name is Cole! I'm sixteen years old, grade eleven, in Manisnowba, Canada! I've been reading since I was four and writing since I knew how to hold a pencil. Seriously. I made up stories and wrote stories with my best friend, I love to go back and read them (our spelling was absolutely atrocious, my God). I'm an online roleplayer on InvisionFree boards under the alias "Jae". I really love roleplaying and actually considered basing my novel this year off of a few of my characters- ended up choosing something else, though. Anyway! I'm really addicted to Supernatural, Fringe, The Big Bang Theory, Terra Nova, Modern Family, and a couple other shows. I love Lord of the Rings, the Mortal Instruments, The Glass Castle, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, and a multitude of other novels and plays, and I'm a certified coffee and tea addict. My timetable is so full this year in school that I have classes running over some of my lunch hours (I'm going to die this year, I swear) but I love it anyway. C: If anyone is interested in being my writing buddy, nano mail me ! I use AIM, MSN, and Skype regularly, and I've nothing against texting to Canada or the States. <3 Cole

Hello fellow young writers. I'm 13 year old girl. I'm a Christian and I love fantasy and adventure novels. Mystery is also one genre I love. I don't really care for horror or the supernatural. I read, write and play video games. I'm an absolute bookworm. I borrow a book every other week. I have no particular favorites but I get over hyped whenever I get a new book from a series I love. I'm a beginner writer.>_< I love playing video games. Though I don't really play console games. I'm a HUGE fan of The Legend of Zelda series ( excited to get the newest one). Other video games I like are: Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Okami, and many, many others.

Hi there! My name is Eilidh, I'm fifteen and I'm from Scotland. Umm, I'm Christian but I do harbor a swearing habit from my relatives and the fact that I live in an island. I am looking for a girl writing buddie as I can be very ranty and the fact of the matter is that I'm quite lonely in my writing. I can be a bit shy too so if you can coax me out of my shell a bit, I'll be a great help hopefully! I love reading espcially Harry Potter, Wolf Boy and the Morganville Vampire books. I may need someone who I can bounce ideas off of and can help me develop my thoughts as I have a problem with that sort of stuff. I can listen to people really well, I hope I can help anyone and don't be shy, just say hello! Thanks!

But this time I actually have a plain! Sorry, that just excites me that I've actually planned some of it, I normally abhor plans. I spend a lot of time on the internet, especially Tumblr, youtube and watching anime or reading manga. But I'm also a fan of Doctor Who and Merlin, I've yet to watch Sherlock but I hear that it's good so I'll watch it one day once I get over my procrastination methods. Oh yes, I'm extremely lazy :D

Hey everyone, this is LuLiLa, I am a teenager. I love dogs, robotics, vocaloids and any stories having to do with ghosts. I love both reading and writing (why would I be in this if I didn't?), though that doesn't mean I'm exactly good at writing... The story I am entering for this is a sort of sci-fi ghost story. I only write ghost stories, and what I mean by ghost story is a bit different than what most people mean, I mean a story told from the point of view of the ghost. If you are interested in my writing and would like to see more than a small poorly written excerpt here feel free to PM me (or whatever PMing is called on this site, something like NaNoMail? I don't know XD).

Obsessed with Doctor Who/Merlin/The Big Bang Theory A giant nerd- the real deal, not one of those hipsters who call themselves nerds. I read organic chemistry books for fun... It's kind of sad, really. Smart (I hope) A basketball player who is freaking out about writing a novel during b-ball season An avid reader A musician who plays eight instruments but is only really good at two.

I'm 15 and love science fiction. H2G2, Ender's Game, Star Wars, and Doctor Who are my favorites. I used to love BIONICLE as kid (and still do). My math class also turned me on to Psych. I'm a sophomore in the North-Eastern US. I go to a private Christan school and our soccer season just ended, sadly. I'm still working on my laptop I made from two old and broken ones, but my main setup is a normal desktop. I'm also the closest thing you can get to a card-carrying nerd. I made a pair of goggles I wear around my neck every day, quote my favorite sci-fi stories all the time, made up my own language (just got through the early stages), and I celebrated Towel Day last year.

Hey everyone! I'm a newbie! First year! So just here to introduce myself and maybe make a few friends. I AM! - 14 years old, freshmeat in high school. Ahem, freshman. - I live in America, although I was born in Vietnam. - My favorite things to do include: writing, drawing, acting, and basically any kind of art. (except paint. I can't paint.) - I can't stand doing anything without music, including writing. Can't list favorite artists, way too many. I do really like modern alternative rock, as well as Asian music and dubstep. - I'm starting out this year with a classic George R.R. Martin-style fantasy, because it's well within my comfort zone. I've also never written a novel above 30,000 words, so this should be an interesting one. ;) - Things I love include: good old-fashioned fantasy (Tolkien, Martin, etc..), videogames (not the shooter ones.. those are scary xD), psychology, and Japanese manga/anime. - I'm one of those people who draws on everything she sees, so it was never a great idea to write stories by hand in the first place.. xD So I use my old(ish) laptop. It's a little broken, and I wish I was tech-savvy enough to fix it up but I'm, sadly, not. What else is there to say? If you're looking for someone to procrastinate on writing with, come to me! :D I'll be right here... procrastinating.

Greetings My name is... Matt. Yes, that'll suffice. The problem is, I'm a Pole, so I have a weird Polish name - Matt is an appropriate equivalent. I'm 17, turning 18 in three weeks - I feel kind of old for a first-timer, actually. I don't really get the mainstream culture, partly because of it never reaching Poland and partly because it's just how I am. I don't really watch TV anymore, haven't played many video games, don't own any consoles... Literature is what provided me with a lot of entertainment, due to the lack of other sources. I have to admit I turned towards Japanese culture a bit. It's only available online both for me and most of you, so that's one of the few things that don't make me feel worse than you. Besides, I always liked animation, and if it's popular far east, then it's even better. Generally a fan of fiction in any media. If I wanted something mundane, I'd look out of my window. I'll just leave this here. Wonder if I'll get any messages or anything.

Hey! I'm Vann, from the Philippines. I'm 14 and I'm a junior. (school's very fast here) I love reading, writing, and (most especially, I'm a movie buff), film. If someone else shares a passion for film like me, add me NAO and chat. Your fave movie, your least fave, your guilty pleasure, tell me now. I'm not genre biased. I'm intelligent, I think. I get straight As at least. :) My Math and English classes are always the highest. For some reason. I like writing, especially fiction and movie reviews. I like making friends. Especially those who challenge me to a maximum. I like rock, pop, jazz, classic, rap... well, basically I like music as a whole. My top three books are Les Miserables, It and Gerald's Game (shares a spot) and In Cold Blood. I'm not sure if that says something, except for "I read too many books that I should not be reading." I like video games, especially... well, all kinds. I like observing economies. I like TV. My fave show that's on right now is Community.

Hey! I am 18, and from South Africa. This is my first NaNo. I am in the middle of my Final exams, so I won't be brilliant at this this time round (I HAVE to study, sadly). I would however, really like a writing buddy. I read a lot, generally pretty serious fiction. I watch a ton of series - House, Community, Pretty Little Liars, Chuck, HIMYM, New Girl, Glee, Modern Family, Person of Interest, White Collar, A Gifted Man, Gossip Girl. And Possibly a few more.... Movies wise, I watch a lot of "different" films - foreign language, or based on books, or low budget films. I do enjoy the "run of the mill" films too however. I listen to Indie, Electronic, Alternative and neo classical music, along with a lot of Soundtracks and some mainstream stuff when i am in the mood. If you are interested in being my buddy, let me know :) Oh, and I really like to cook, and I am busy learning the art of photography :)

Jolie-Laide — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 17:28:05 +0000

Hey, fellow teen writers! :3 I'm Laura, 18-year-old girl in her last year at college in England (and hoping to move back to Belfast for University after living there the first four years of my life and a few weeks each subsequent summer). I'm currently learning to drive and roller skate, with the former progressing much better than the latter thanks to my total lack of grace or athletic ability (although luckily, I don't mind falling down over and over again). I got a car for my birthday, and his name is Norman (I named him after the Normandy from Mass Effect 2, if anyone else is into video games at all). I'm a pretty big film fan, and hoping to study it at University next year, with my favourites being a weird mix of Studio Ghibli, Tarantino and Christopher Nolan films. I'm not as into reading now as I was when I was younger, but I do find that I still absorb a fair amount of literature - I'm currently reading The Bell Jar since we're studying Sylvia Plath on my English Lit/Lang course, and I particularly enjoyed Brave New World and Jennifer Egan's A Visit From The Goon Squad this year. I do still love to write, too, as you can probably tell from the fact that I'm doing NaNoWriMo. It's my second year doing it, and hopefully my first year winning. :D This year I'm writing about an alien witness protection program that relocates our hero, Ever Yesterday, to an Earth circus. It's kind of a silly idea, but I wanted to have fun with it this year - I've planned very little of it out too, which is always interesting. Other than that, I'm into Batman (particularly the games and graphic novels, although I did say I was a Nolan fan), zombies (especially stuff like the Walking Dead), biology and the natural world, aaaand.... Christmas - I'm already very excited for Christmas, and it's providing me with most of my writing music. Anyway, that's quite enough of talking about myself. (:

Hi! I'm tangerineblue. Some things about me: I'm 14 years old. I'm from New Jersey (NO RELATION AT ALL to Jersey Shore) This is my first NaNo. I am COMPLETELY obsessed with Harry Potter and AVPM/AVPS. I read A LOT - besides Harry Potter, I like the Hunger Games, the Mortal Instruments, Gone Series (Michael Grant), most books by Meg Cabot, and a bunch of others. Oh, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I know, it's not a book) I love to read, write, and do anything art related Writing buddies/Nanomail me?

Hi! I'm Izzy, and I'm really bad at all of this stuff. But I really want a NaNo buddy, and this looks like a good place to find a few. ^_^ -I'm 14 years old, which makes me a freshman in highschool. -I'm from Florida. -This is my first NaNoWriMo experience, and I'm super excited. ^_^ -So, I'm what most would call a massive, huge, big-fat nerd. I embrace my nerd-dome and love it, even if other people don't. -I'm also a nerdfighter (John is the coolest, awesomest nerd ever. Like, he's King of all Nerds). -I'm what most people consider smart - straight A's and such. -I'm a bit eccentric and awkward, but I'm told it's part of my charm. c; -I usually use an absurd amount of smilie faces. -I read. A lot. Mostly teen fiction, not because I can't read adult lit, but because I enjoy teen fiction. -I hate Twilight a lot. And I'm not afraid to tell you all the reasons why and have a battle to the death with you. -I really enjoy arguing about things, so feel free to challenge me and any of my crazy beliefs. -I'm writing my novel about cancer and death and life and love and hair. Yes. And hair. -I'm fairly indoorsy. The outside world is big and full of bugs and I typically dislike it unless there is a slab of window separating us. -I'm sure as soon as I hit 'submit' I'm going to notice 83942 typos (EXACTLY 83942) and remember all kinds of things I wanted to say. So, uhh. Yeah! NaNoMail/Buddy me?

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

hafslepuff — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:22:32 +0000

Hey, I'm Hafsa. I'm nineteen. First time doing NaNoWriMo but I have written a couple of novels before. See how I just casually threw that out there? Yeah, I've written two, to be exact and the first one wasn't very good, so... Anyway, I guess you wanna know some stuff. First of all, I love grammar! People say that's weird, but I am pretty sure it's 'cause they're jealous. Pretty sure. Also, I love Harry Potter, the Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings. I will read the same book multiple times although I'm not sure why. I've read a whole bunch of classics and I thoroughly enjoy Shakespeare. I just got into Stephen King, so lets see where that goes... I could talk about myself all day but that would be weird, so NaNoMail me or add me as a writing buddy and we can totally kick word count butt together. Or just complain about the word count, you know, kicking back. Whichever.

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

Ferna — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 23:02:09 +0000

Hello, you can call me Ferna, or really whatever you want. This year I have a lot of time crunches and am wary about doing NaNo yet again because my tendency is to write my 50,000 words and then never finish. So if you want to keep in touch after NaNo is over, I might be up for that. Anyway, I'm 15 and American and feel free to NaNoMail me or whatever. I'm a little shy even on the internet, so I might not exactly be the best person to be contacting you first. Anyway, I'm a huge fantasy lover. This year, my novel is going to be something of a mixture, I think. I got the idea for it when texting one of my friends, but it's kind of grown from there. In fact, I don't really know what genre I could classify it as. It's kind of like fantasy mixed with sci-fi mixed with kinda of realistic fiction.... At least, that's what I say now, but my plans usually don't end up turning out the way I wanted them to. Basically, I need someone to inspire me to keep writing and just to talk to about novels. I'll do the same for you, and I'm willing to talk about pretty much anything. I'm in band, where I play flute and piccolo, and I absolutely love it. I try really hard in both band and school, and I want to do good in both of them. I like reading and doing things to have fun and lots of other things. I'm going to shut up now because I have homework and other things I have to do and I haven't even started my novel yet.

Diabeditor — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 23:48:03 +0000

I have a bit of a twist on the writing buddies, relevant to my novel and hopefully yours too. My novel involves me playing a board game every day for 30 days. I document the experience, the conversation that ensues, etc. The end result is my novel. So if anyone likes to play games, I do too -- especially this month! If you need a break from your writing, let's play! If you want us to take on personnas from characters in your novel, I can do that too while we're playing. Explain my role and your role and we can whip off 5 pages of dialogue collaboratively while playing :) Nano mail me and I'll respond with details.

I LOVE BATMAN i am very random. I LOVE ANIMALSSSSS and if you ask if i lost my marbles my reply will be: Whats that? I LOVE MY DOGS AND CATS i am also homeschooled thats pretty much it :)

Hi everyone! I'm eighteen and this is my first year doing Nanowrimo. I'm working on a novel that's about fantasy with vampires, witches, demons, and your usual humans thrown in there. I have been working on this novel for almost five years now, haven't been able to finish it. So that's why I'm mainly here, hoping I'll be able to finish it this time! Well about me I like to read and write, wasting my time on the internet when I should be writing should also be thrown in there.XD

Yay! *Squeal of Joy* WHOVIANS!!!! Sorry :P I'm Phantom, and I'm looking for someone who's good at pestering. I'm always dropping things, but if someone pesters me about it, and pesters me about, and pesters me about, then I will feel obliged to finish. Here are some things about me: 1. I'm a dedicated Christian. This means I refuse to put up with swearing or anything of the sort. 2. I'm also a HOMESCHOOLER!!! Though I only have a certain amount of school each day, it does end up to be quite a lot. Don't expect me to be on all the time, even though I want to be. 3. At the moment I'm writing fantasy, but don't take that as I sign that I don't like anything else. I have actually been pondering a.... well.... something other then fantasy, though I don't know what to call it. 4. I'm special/weird/strange/random/whateveryouwanttocallme. But hey, I'm sure I can adjust to you other people :D 5. Umm.... I like dragons.... *Lacking fifth point* Thanky much Thephantom

I'm Emma!! Hello world.... I like a really wide range of movies: Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Pride and Prejudice, Tangled, Ratatouille, Short Circuit, Iron Man, Superman Returns, Batman! (the two newest ones), Anne of Green Gables (ONLY the first one), and Ghostbusters. To name a few. My favortie TV shows/ TV shows that I watch: Castle!, The Office, Chuck, Terra Nova, Pan Am, Parks and Recreation, and Once Upon a Time. I also like many many books: The Hunger Games Trilogy, Watership Down, Anne of Green Gables, The Mysterious Benedict Society, Great Expectations and many more... In my spare time I...ride horses, play croquet, sip tea in fancy gardens, and chat with the Queen of England. I also made up everything in the last sentence. But seriously, I read, do homework (thanks teachers), watch movies, write, play the cello! (like a boss), and am generally more humorous in person. I really love Jesus, but the more important thing is that he loves you!! So much.

I mostly read random manga and novels that look unique and funny (Going bovine, mogworld etc.) I love to write (obviously) I like Doctor Who and I'm a brony. I would love to have a writing buddy to help me keep going and I would be willing to give light critique and words of encouragement. I'm 15 and I've probably said too much so I'll be quiet now.

I'm Raellyn, don't disclose my real name, since I despise it. :P I'm seventeen, and this is my fourth year doing NaNoWriMo. I've never completed it before due to strong marental discouragement on the grounds that writing fiction is apparently evil. I have been living on my own for six months, and loving it! I just went from an extremely radically conservative mother I was raised under, to being a very liberal individual, to the point where I volunteered at Occupy Portland and would love to get one started in my town! I'm strongly into any well written sci-fi, fantasy, biographies...really anything as long as it's well written!

Pen Names; Richard Wright, Colonel Wright, The Colonel. Hiya. I'm Richard, I'm one of the 42 male Nerdfighters, my life right now is a juggle between video games, theater, and of course, NaNo. I live in eastern Tennessee, though I have always actively fought against acquiring the southern drawl, usually with mock British accents. I love most music, except for hard rock, rap, and country. There are exceptions of course, but not many. My favorite musician would be James Blunt, and, yes, I'm straight. I enjoy medieval and renaissance history, as well as the history of feudal Japan, particularly Tokugawa Ieyasu's reign. I hope I find someone out there in the NaNo universe who would be interested in being a buddy. Thanks for reading! Bless yo face. If you sneeze while reading this post, bless you. Peace off.

It would be nice if I could get a writing buddy who I could talk to and help motivate me and I would do the same for them! I'm also gay, so if that makes you uncomfortable... well... that's unfortunate.

(Procrastinators UNITE!) -I currently take karate, which is one of the few sports I've actually come to enjoy (It makes me feel so much closer to being a ninja). -I've lived in a couple different countries but really, I'm not confident how much I can tell you about each place off the top of my head. -I really can't think of much else to say... Well, I'd be totally into finding a buddy, especially since I'm in dire need or a reliable second brain to push me forward with this. So, NaNoMail me? Please? =D

Oh hey. I go by Mia, since my recent social circle is mostly made up of toddlers who find my full name difficult to say. I've been 19 since June and have /maybe/ two friends over 10 years old. I live in Ohio, albeit not happily. I'm somewhere between a junior and a senior in university, although this is technically the first semester of my third year. My university is online, which is great because no debt but sad because no people. My major is Elementary Education, and I'm hoping to end up in a Maine kindergarten classroom at some point. We'll see. This my fourth year with NaNoWriMo, and will probably be the most difficult as it is the first year I've had to work around having three jobs and being a full time student simultaneously. (That being said, here I am procrastinating from both school and NaNo on the forums. Alas.) I write realistic YA fiction. Let's see...I should probably add something else, so that this isn't an /exact/ copypaste of what I put on another thread. Right. I like cats - mine is named Beauregard. We sometimes call him Beau-seph. I have two fish that can predict the weather. My favorite word is synonymous. My favorite television shows are Haven and Warehouse 13. I adore documentaries, especially ones about human development and psychological disorders. I can play the French horn. I name inanimate objects. My French horn's name is Bill. I recently chopped all of my hair off. My favorite tea is Earl Grey. My favorite cookie is Snickerdoodle. I desperately need to socialize. I have AIM, WLM/MSN, Skype, Facebook, Twitter - nanomail me and they're yours. There. That should do it.

Since facts such as the following seem terribly relevant in the quest for a writing buddy: I'm a good Roman of the Religio persuasion, and am quite socially conservative; far more so than one normally thinks of as conservative. But I'm still I nice person regardless, and I do swear, sometimes a lot. If you're writing something interesting and also have a penchant for the four-letter-word (they do get lonely, you know), NaNoMail me. =)

I absolutely love writing, but it's hard for me to stay focused....and I know it's a bad thing, since I have all things crazy ideas for novels and I'm not writing them down. I'm trying to though... :) I like to talk big, using words that normal people can't understand, just for the fun of it...that's me. Socially awkward outside, inside..totally erratic and vivacious.

Hi there! Bare with me here with what will be an awkward introduction. Okay, so I go by Blue and I am...sixteen years old, though everyone thinks I'm twelve, which I've come to the conclusion is because I act younger not because I look younger (though it may in reality be both.) Umm, I love to read and write, obviously. I love to knit and craft and pretend I know how to sew, as well as dance, act, and make up songs while completing math homework. I'm a nerd in every sense. I actually love math and science, and I want to be a robotic engineer, because what's better than math and science and robots in one career? I'm not sure this is making much sense and I'm pretty sure it's crazy rambly, but that's about me in a nutshell. OOOH, umm, Joss Whedon is a genious. So is Isobelle Carmody, and if you know who the latter is you're my new favourite person. I watch anime, though that's a very recent obsession.....I love languages and different cultures and I am currently attempting to learn Swedish and Welsh, please note the word attempt. I'm Canadian? 8D. And, yeah, that is kind of me! I congratulate you on getting through this brutally terrible ramble, and thanks for bearing with me. I'm crazy behind on my Nano Novel (I blame physics), because I keep on getting distraction and I think I desperately need some help from my fellow Novel Writers. I would love some Nano buddies!

Hey guys, this is my second year as a NaNo (and the first year I'm going to win!) I'm Kat and I'm 17, I love Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Starkid, How I Met Your Mother, and the Big Bang Theory! Yes, I saw the whole lovefest dogpile on the first page but I'm a little bit intimidated by jumping straight into all that intense awesomeness (plus all of you who posted two weeks ago probably won't be reading this now). I'm a wordnerd to the core, run my school's literary magazine, and this summer I went to the cafe in Scotland where J.K. Rowling actually wrote HP, it was one of the best experiences of why life! I do karate, run long distance, and try and figure out what books mine will be in between every time I go into a bookstore, despite the fact that I have yet to write said book, which is why I'm doing NaNo, yay! So far the only finished pieces I've ever wrote are poetry and short stories, so I'm trying to amend that. My favourite poets are Dorothy Parker, Sylvia Plath, Robert Frost, and Pablo Neruda. Also, I spell favourite with a u because I'm a Canadian, we're weird like that! Feel totally free to message me, I would love some writing buddies! :)

Hey everyone! My name is Gwen, and I'm awkward when introducing myself, so please excuse me. I'm 14 but turning 15 really soon. This is my first year doing NaNo. Let's see... Aside from reading and writing, I play flute a lot, and also watch TV shows like Doctor Who (both classic and new), Futurama and Sherlock. My favorite movies are 12 Angry Men, Pan's Labyrinth, The Producers, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Some Like it Hot, along with most Disney, Pixar, and Miyazaki movies. I love musicals, my favorites being Phantom and Les Miserables. I'd appreciate it so much if you'd like to be writing buddies. Feel free to shoot me a message!

Hey everybody! I'm Jacob, aged 15, located somewhere over the rainbow. :D A few things about me: *I love music. Every kind, except rap. I won't say that it's not music - I just don't like it. *I've been playing flute for seven years, piccolo for two, and just started oboe on November 2, 2011. *I am a science nerd - I want to be a Medical Examiner when I grow up. Yes, performing autopsies and such. *On the subject of science, I am an evolutionist and self-proclaimed Atheist. I also accept all other religious beliefs as long as they don't infringe on my rights as a human, and other people don't try and jam it down my throat. *Speaking of religion, I am gay, and that's the reason my parents left the Roman Catholic Church was to support me. *I love the French language much more than English. I know. Gasp. In fact, next year I may attempt a 25,000 word novel in 30 days, but all in French. *I am considered the best French student in Western New York - I scored the highest in the region in the National French Contest, as well as sixth in the nation. :) I really hope that didn't all sound so narcissistic. Oh, well. I hope I can find some writing buddies on here! Add me, yo! :DD

Heya everyone! My name's Gull, age 17, living in Israel. I love fantasy. I sometimes read romance, sci-fi, or thrillers, but I always return to fantasy. I love philosophy, psychology, and science. I love just thinking about those stuff. Especially with science, who I love to think "What if". I'm home-schooled, and love it. My hobbies (not counting writing and reading) include juggling, playing the piano, and playing video games. Will love to find writing buddies! =D

Hello! I'm Kat! I'm 18, at university in Ohio, studying to be a teacher! I'm writing a horror novel this year, but I'll read pretty much anything that doesn't get away fast enough. Unless it's a straight up romance, in which case...no. I have a dorky love for science, especially biology, even if I've never been particularly good at it. Other than writing, I love theatre, drawing, and music (even if I am again not very good at them.) Looking forward to finding a few writing buddies!

LuLiLa — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:01:21 +0000

Hi, I am LuLiLa and I am a teenager. I would like some more writing buddies as I like talking and sharing my writing with others. I also certainly do not want to fall behind on my story so someone to talk to about my story and theirs might help me have more inspiration to write more. The story I am writing for NaNoWriMo is a sort of YA sci-fi ghost story (why must it fit into so many genres?). My story is about a time a short while in the future where a couple twisted scientists begin experimenting with replacing failing body parts of orphans with robotics but as they get closer to their "deadline" they begin to rush their work and replace parts that were working perfectly fine. The children are scared and treated cruelly, kept in a prison cell and beaten often already weak from the operations. Early on in the story my MC dies and the rest of the story is mostly told from the point of view of his spirit. I can't tell you much more without giving away too much of the story. So anyway for nonwriting related stuff I love robotics, dogs and vocaloids. I would absolutely love some writing buddies to chat and share stories with! ^^

I'd love to have a buddy to do writing competitions and stuff like that, but anybuddy (get it?) will do Best Wishes~ Au Revoir!

Hello there, everyone! Feel free to call me Echo. I am currently fourteen, a freshman in high school, and could not be more excited to be doing my first NaNo this year. I am a hardcore Homestucker, so all the better if you are too. :D ;; In addition to that, I am a casual Pokémon gamer and MLP fan. Art and literature are among my most favorite things, though I wish I was much better in both mediums. Some of my hobbies include writing (herp-a-derp), running, listening to various styles of music, and playing piano (despite that I am a complete amateur at it). I come off as silly and jumpy, but I also have a strong sentimental and serious side as well. Oh, and I am grammar-obsessive and tend to act older than my age online. Come at me with whatever you wish; I would love to collect a few new buddies! <3

Hi, I'm Amelia, or Meli. I recently turned 13 and am in 7th grade. I like writing and reading fantasy, sewing crazy hats, figure skating, listening to/playing music, drawing, painting, and sitting in trees. I love Vienna Teng's music. I can be extremely random, but I also like pondering the universe and trees. Some of my favorite books include, but aren't limited to, Fablehaven, Beyonders, Great Tree of Avalon, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and the Unicorn Chronicles.

Well, I'll start with hi!!! I'm Julia, and I'm 13 for now but I'll be 14 soon. I know it's a little late, but I'm partway through my NaNo and think I need someone's help because it's HARD. I am terrible at talking about myself, so I'll just wing it: I write science fiction, and some romance. I LOVE writing and reading, and I'm super glad my brother told me about this! I absolutely love listening to music while I write, and mostly I'll listen to anything but rap. Because I. Hate. Rap. My favorite book/series would have to be The Hunger Games. My favorite movie....probably In Time. It's that new one where time is money. If you haven't seen it I think you should! I'm from Wisconsin :) and No, I'm not a farmer. I love making friends, so if you wanna be my NaNo buddy, NaNoMail me!!!

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

Mowo64 — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:22:08 +0000

Hey guys! This is my second year doing NaNoWriMo, but due to a super late start last year, I was unable to do much of anything, include get involved in the community, so I would love to make some buddies here. I go by my username--Mowo--around the internet, but feel free to call me Livi. I'm a 17-year-old with a horrid case of Senior-itus, counting down the days until school ends. I also don't enjoy talking about myself, but here goes... I spend my days locked in my room, pacing and rambling to myself like a psycho, trying to fine-tune and sort out the approximate ten billion stories currently flooding my mind. Hopefully, when I one day gain my major in Sequential Art, I'll be able to get some of these freaking ideas down on paper. Until then, a NaNo a year's not a bad start. I tend to personify, name, and speak to most of my electronics--my favorite being my star-crossed lover, partner in crime, and spoiled little baby laptop, Kame-seru. I also do odd things like collect random objects I have no use or intent for, leave notes for my future-self at the top of all important typings, and hang all my art on my wall only to pass it by and announce to it once a week what exactly is wrong with the way I drew it. Of intrests, I enjoy mainly typing and drawing, and can usually be found with Kame in my lap or a sketchbook in my purse. I am also a fangirl of the Super Mario games, even though I'd only consider myself a casual gamer at best. Whenever my schedule allows me time for some mind numbing television, I enjoy a good dose of Phineas and Ferb, Spongebob Squarepants, or my recent addictions, Regular Show and Adventure Time. My true obsession, however, lies in my characters and stories. However, I could type forever and a day and STILL have only just grazed the surface of all the things I know about them. That being said, I give my sincerest congratulations to anyone who has successfully made it through that god-awful rant. You deserve a rest--go take a nap. If anyone's interested, feel free to NaNoMail me whenever you like. I don't bite, only my characters do that, and I'll try to keep them at bay as best I can. If you need any advice or just someone to rant to, I don't claim to be the best, but I'm all ears (provided the horrid beast, life, decides not to devour me whole).

hi. i'm kate, i'm eighteen and i live in the uk. not my first year doing nano, but the first year in a while i'm actually going to try and win it (and i just started today, i'm off to a brilliant start!!). uh so some things about me, i guess. - i'm not usually up this early. my sleeping schedules pretty erratic, actually. - i have a bad habit of typing in lower case. i didn't even realise i wasn't typing properly until i had a look through what i'd written already and was like... where's all my capital letters... - i'm a university student for the first time this year, so i've no idea how i'm going to manage my time this month. - my favourite book is either dance dance dance by haruki murakami, or john dies at the end by david wong. - i like manga and anime. my favourite series is either cowboy bebop or kaiji. - i like games too! if you catch the reference in my username then that's pretty cool. - i listen to lots of music and if you want to be my writing buddy then we should swap playlists or something!! - my nano novel this year is about dreams and shared dreams and is going to be full of DEEP (aka: stupid) ideas. i don't come across as an interesting person at all (maybe i'm not??) but if you want to chat then we definitely should! i'm fairly friendly and i like to talk.

Hello! I'm doing NaNo for the second time, and I hope to make it another win. :) My name's Emma, and I'm 14! I love to read. Hunger Games, Stoneheart, Star Wars books, or just any book that catches my fancy (mainly fantasy/some science fiction.) I listen to a lot of music when I write. Some of my favorite bands/artists are Fox Amoore (Don't know who is, just go look him up. Lots of good instrumental music. :D) Vocaloid, and soundtrack music. I'll really listen to anything, except rap. I like Doctor Who, although I haven't seen much of it. :) I really need to go find it on Netflix and watch more. My favorite movies are Star Wars, Transformers 1, and I can't wait for the Hunger Games movie to come out so I can see it! My favorite movie/cartoon/universe is definitely Transformers. I love anything and everything to do with it! :D I'm actually writing TF fan fiction this year. Silly me. :) Feel free to NaNoMail me if you want to talk! :)

Hi! I'm Allie and I'm 17. This is my second year doing nanowrimo which started out with the lovely poweroutage in NH, so that was fun. And here's some random facts about me! -I can solve a rubik's cube. -My favorite books are numerous but include the Harry Potter series, Artemis Fowl, pretty much anything by Ally Carter -I have 3 cats: Elvis, Hobo, and Hanna -I love, like really love, greek mythology. -I'm currently a junior in high school, so that's fun -I speak french as well as a first grader being strangled (not really) (only a little) -I have a history teacher who has a toaster collection -Coming up with random facts about me is harder than it should be logically. -I played piano for like six years, so I'm just awesome. -Once, I met Stephenie Meyer (whose name I probably mispelled) -I have never left the continent, although I have been out of the country. That is... if Canada really counts as a separate country -At my school, I'm taking an honors organic and bio chemistry class mostly because it sounds impressive And that's all I can think of at the moment, so if you'd like to be my friend, NaNoMail me or something (wow, that sentence sounded weird.)

Amy Geliebter — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:26:12 +0000

Okay! I'm Amy, I'm 17, and this is my first NaNo. I'd really love a writing buddy who has done NaNo before (or another newb... it doesn't matter that much) so that we can encourage each other, give each other writing and plot tips, and maybe even proofread some stuff for each other. As cliche as it is, I love to read and write (obviously). I'm also really into photography, and I'm hoping to make a career out of it. I'm homeschooled, my favorite bands are Coldplay, The Decemberists, and The Prodigy. My all time favorite movie is The Dark Knight. I literally could recite it line by line. It's kind of sad. Oh, and I collect Vogue. I have a pretty big collection of Vogue's from all around the world. Okay... so that was pretty random and ramble-y. NaNoMail me if you want to be my writing buddy though! I don't bite. (:

Well, hi! I'm Faye, I'm 14 years old and come from Holland. This is my first year of NaNo and I should actually write on my novel right now, but, yeah, I figured it would be nice to meet some people from other countries here... You can find more about me on my NaNoWriMo. I really love music and writing - especially if the're combined. I like all kind of books, but with music I'm more strict. I listen to classic music, which I also sing in a choir and play on my piano. Furthermore, I listen to band such as McFly, Coldplay, The Killers, Foo Fighters, The Rolling Stones, The Strokes, 30 seconds to Mars, My Chemical Romance, The Who, The Beatles, Blink-182, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Mumford and Sons, Led Zeppelin... And a lot more, but those a my favorites - I guess. Maybe I forgot one or two. The point is - I'm looking for some nice people to talk with. It doesn't really matter from which country you come or how old you are. Well, I'd prefer if you aren't 60 or somewith, but a teenager, but I think you know what I mean. Just NaNoMail me and we can talk a bit... Okay, I should get back to my novel. I hope I'll get to know some of you better!

Hey everyone, I'm Becca. I'm 16 and from the US. This is my first year doing NaNo. I'm basically just looking for some writing buddies to have someone to talk to about writing and so we can encourage each other when it comes to word count. I love to read, both fantasy and realistic fiction. I am a bit of a Lord of the Rings fanatic, and I love The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Harry Potter, too. And the Discworld series, although I'm nowhere near through reading all the books. Usually when I like things, I tend to become a bit of an addict. This transfers to TV shows as well. Enter Doctor Who and Merlin. I also love music, which is rather generic, but still true. I play clarinet in band, as well as piano. My story this year is a bit of a combination of fantasy and realistic fiction, although it leans more toward fantasy. Feel free to send me a message or add me as a buddy because I love to talk to people on here =]

Hola. Sydney here~! History and language enthusiast. I'm a fantasy writer, primarily, but I work on a load of other genera. I'm an anime and book lover with a massively open mind and crazy imagination. Canadian and proud! I'm a first time NaNo'er but by no means new to writing. Just looking for someone who'd like to crunch ideas and read over my work. My book's called Bloodline and is fairly mature, set in a steampunk word with a really messed up cast. My favourite bands are from the 40's, like the Andrew Sisters, The Ink Spots and Tony Bennett. But I also like Skrillex, Innerpartysystem, and The Yoshida Brothers. I love all movies, and I'm a lover of weird books. My favourite novels are Baccano! (it's Japanese), Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Havemercy. どぞよろしく!

Hey you guys!!! So I'm Whitney. I'm 18 and a freshman in college.From the US. I'm studying performing arts in the hopes of becoming either an actress or a model/fashion designer. So you may be thinking--why on earth would someone like her be here writing some big fancy novel? Well...I love to write. I must admit that my writing is kind of simple and a different style, and my plots kinda suck...but writing is a huge hobby for me. When I was in high school, I wrote a TON...mostly fan fiction from animes. =w= I am a TOTAL anime nerd...so if you like that, then I will be your best friend!!! :D I also like to read. I mostly read romance or tragedy, but I am a sucker for a good horror story. If you have anything really demented where a nun would probably die from it, then it is probably perfect for me. ^^ I love to get feedback on stories, and would LOVE to get encouragement and advice on the novel I am writing right now...so if you want a writing buddy, write me up and let's be friends!!! :3

Hi, um, I'm Mika. My favorite authors, and those that I have been influenced by: Clive Barker (Imajica, The Damnation Game) Steven King (It, Carrie) Chuck Palahniuk (Rant, Fight Club) J.K.Rowling (Harry Potter) R.A.Salvatore (DND) Errr. I'm 18 and going to school to be a massage therapist. ^_^ And proud of it. I'm learning a lot of eastern philosophy along the way, and russian massage, too. Anyways, I've been a writer forever, and I've greatly improved over time. Seriously, I was writing stories about CatBunny in the third grade. I didn't know much about the Beatles until a couple years ago, which is a tragedy and a great discovery all in one. One day I hope to be as famous as Stephen King. >_> It's on my bucket list. Which, yes, I do have at the age of 18. So um... anyone interested in being a writing buddy with me? And possibly explaining what exactly a writing buddy does for the other? <3

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

lovelycatgirlmew — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 03:23:09 +0000

Alrigh, so name's Elsie, and I'm 13. This is first year doing Nano, so I'm a bit clueless as to what I'm doing. I'm in middle school currently, and a pretty big nerd. I like reading a lot, and listening to music, mostly Christian music, but not the old people kind with the hymns and stuff I am Christian and I'm glad to be one. I like fantasy, sci-fi and a bit of romance but I'm not fanatic about it People say I talk. A lot. But it's not too boring stuff i'm talking about so, yeah. I love: Margaret Peterson Haddix Stephenie Meyer (not Twilight, the Host) Eoin Colfer Rick Riordan A lot of others, but i don't want to name every single one I'm very close to high school but I like dropping everything and just acting like a little kid again. :D So, wanna be buddies? ;)

Hey, I'm fifteen, I'm a sophomore, and I feel kind of lonely because I don't have any writing buddies on NaNo...so, add me if we like the same stuff - or if we don't! That's cool too :) This is my first year doing NaNo, and I'm writing a paranormal romance. No, it isn't about vampires and werewolves, though I don't really have a problem with those types of books. I like reading almost everything (during breakfast I even read the cereal boxes...) but my favorite genres are science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Why am I writing a paranormal romance? I do not know...thought I'd try something new I guess. My favorite TV shows are Doctor Who, Lost, and The Vampire Diaries. Oh, and I love music. My favorite bands are My Chemical Romance, Mayday Parade, Relient K, and Green Day. So...yeah. That's all I can think of. If you want to be writing buddies, add me :)

First time NaNo Hi, I'm fifteen and very nerdy. My favorite books are The Outsiders, Lord of the Rings and the Inkworld series. I've been homeschooled all my life. I like classical music and realistic art. And I'm a Mormon.

Hey, I'm Katie! I'm 14 and I'm a freshman in private school. I like random songs that I hear that are catchy/describe my life--Tay Swift all the way. Btw, Beautiful Creatures is the best book ever. I constantly have compulsive need to write, and I have been recently informed that teachers DO notice when I raise my hand and it's covered in Sharpie poetry. Anybody can be my writing buddy, girl or guy or whatever, just as long as you're not a weird creeper who does not belong in the teen age bracket. I can be nerdy when I want to be, even though my friends aren't, and I'm into drama and stuff. MESSAGE ME. I want buddies now that they sound so awesome. And yes, I am terribly behind on word count. Don't judge. :/

DaniLynn — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 02:34:22 +0000

Hello! I am Dani or Elle, whichever you prefer! I am 13 and in 8th grade (can't wait for high school!). I am an agnostic atheist and debate about God regularly. I welcome all people of all faiths, as long as you don't try too hard to force your beliefs upon me (I'm up for a little pressure). My favorite author is George Orwell; I could read Animal Farm a thousand times over and never get tired of it (just not this month!). I am THE nerd at my school; everyone comes to me for help on everything, and it does annoy me an awful lot. BAND GEEK! I play clarinet, ukulele, and guitar. Today I got my oboe, and I'm starting to learn it! Fun, fun. In November, too... I love plays and speeches. I also enjoy knowing random facts, and I share them in my history class, to the joy of our teacher. I write dark poems about dark things and I draw happy pictures depicting dark things... And I'm brain damaged. I BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING!

Hi, I'm sorry, this might sound weird, but I'm kind of paranoid, so I just go by my username. ^^* So you can call me 'Smartiez' or just 'Smarty' whatever fits. I'm a Catholic (yes, we're Christians people), but I don't really talk about my religion all that much except around my really good Christian buddies. I might bring up a quote from the bible or something, but that's pretty much it. And I don't push it, I believe it's your decision whether you want to believe or now. I'm 13, in eigth grade, but I in Algebra as an advanced course. I prefer no cursing or bad language. I have friends who do, but it can make me uncomfortable sometimes. I've always gotten good grades, two Bs in my life, but of course, I haven't been to high school yet. I am a big band geek. I'm always playing the alto saxaphone (I wouldn't this month, but I want a good grade in band, soo...) My hobbies are pretty much writing, drawing, and playing the alto. I also play piano, and want to learn trumpet, clarinet, and maybe a little flute. Oh yeah, I love reading. I'm reading the 'Gone' series, but not much at a time now that I've started this. I get influenced too easily by authors types of writing sometimes. I also LURVE platypuses, I don't know why. This one guy in my science class calls me 'Perry' also, I try not to use text talk, I don't know why. One more thing, I try not to point it out, but I'm always pointing out grammar mistakes in my head. Nothing against anyone, I've just learned to try and catch them after writing a bajillion different plotlines and ditching them.

I'm Katy. You can call me Cat, Kit-Kat, Katy-Kat, Sharky, Queenie, or Peep. Most of my friends call me Kit Kat or Katy-Kat. I spend my time rehearsing for Chorus concerts and my solo's, Writing, playing tennis, Running, Dancing, Hair-brush singing, and drawing. I'm a pretty typical teenager. If you want to know more send me a message :) I'm pretty open.

Hi, you can call me Angel, or Ivy. ^^' I'd love a few writing buddies, just someone to encourage and maybe get some encouragement in return throughout the month! I like reading and writing and reading and writing and....wait, is there anything else to like? (; Some of my favorite books are Shiver, The Hunger Games, Gone, Sister's Red, Sweetly, Uglies, I am Number Four and the Maze Runner. I'm not a fan of chick lit, as you could probably guess; I like things with more action and a bit of romance tied in there somewhere. I'm open to mostly anything, though I don't really like books about vampires or demons. When I'm not in the world of words, I play guitar and sing. I sometimes write songs, (not saying they're good songs) and I write a lot of poetry. I'd like to learn how to play the piano as well. I love all animals and I have a beagle. < 3 I think I may be addicted to chocolate. This is not a problem. I'm also a Christian. :) This will be my first year doing NaNo, and I'm doing well so far! I hope to keep it up. And Good luck to all the rest of you! (:

Heyy. I'm Kayla. Call me whatever you like. I'm not even going to begin to list all my nicknames.... Anyway, this is my second year doing NaNoWriMo. I'm 14 and I just love writing. I'm also obssessed with Harry Potter (not that this is an issue), I'm in marching band (I play clarient! Whoo!), and I'm kind of crazy (this is not an issue either. I enjoy every minute of my insanity!). I really love reading too. I enjoy anything by Nicholas Sparks and Sarah Dessen. Love stories are just awesome. My favorite books series are the Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Mortal Instruments, Pendragon, Cirque Du Freak, and the Gemma Doyle Trilogy. My favorite books include Number the Stars, Zombies Vs. Unicorns, Impossible, and The Bar Code Tattoo. I dislike Twilight. Vampires don't sparkle. They die in sunlight. Havn't you people ever watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer? That girl knew what she was doing. Here's a good quote for ya'll: "Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength, and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend."-Andrew Futral Anyway... Now that's off my chest.... @Ivy I'm Christian too! *high fives* Jesus is awesome!

Yomandude — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 03:23:54 +0000

Copied from my brand-spanking-new author bio: My older brother won his first NaNoWriMo in 2010, and this is my first year to even try. Losing is not an option; it never really was. My favorite genre to read is probably literary fiction, and my favorite to write is sci-fi. I'm just a Net-surfing Aspie nerd at the moment, but my real aspiration in life is to eventually become a Net-surfing Aspie nerd novelist. I'm quite pious, but I'm also pretty laid-back. As long as you can respect my religious beliefs (Protestant), and not violate them around me, then I'm sure that we can get along just fine. In addition, I'm 15, and what I'm looking for in a buddy is just someone to talk to about writing, or collaborate with, during the NaNo off-season. Hit me up if you're interested =)

Torn bubbles — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 03:44:53 +0000

Ooh! This is a cool idea. I'm Zeb, I'm 19, Australian. I'm kind of twisted and enjoy absurd, bizarre and dark stuff. -My first year really doing NanoWriMo, though i did try once before about 5 years ago. didn't make it part 500 words i don't think. Thought about doing it every year, but had stuff to do, but this year, i have a lot of spare time so i said 'This year is my year dang nabbit' :D -Shows i'm currently really into, and probably more influences by; Skins, Breaking bad and this hilarious cartoon called adventure time. I also like scrubs, avatar the last air bender (cartoon, not movie), south park and so on. Bookwise, i know it's a cliche, but I'm strongly influenced by Harry poter (love that series), but also Stephen king adnd maybe HP lovecraft- i love abstract psychological horror stuff. Oh and Jonathan stroud. He makes me laugh quite excessivly. -I'm studying psychology at uni, and i love it, but i'm not entirely sure how it's going to translate career wise. Maybe i'll do a PhD, that'd be kinda cool. -I like to hang around the reference desk and help people, and i love talking about plot structure and so on, as i've earned a keen interest in after years of excessive story planning/ note taking as a way of procrastinating and avoiding actual writing (finally resolving this problem, yay!). So like, peeps should inbox me and stuff. ;D

Garrote — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:15:43 +0000

Hey there! Garrote here. I'm 15 and this ismy first NaNo. The things I love doing most include writing, reading, drawing, and playing video games (on occasion). Some of my favorite books include the Bourne books, the Eragon cycle, and 1984. I love the drawings by Wayne Reynolds and Jim Lee. My musical preferences include Hans Zimmer, Adele, Eminem, and ColdPlay. I think the best Tv show out there has to be South Park. :P Also, my video game favorites include Call of Duty, Skyrim, and Batman: Arkham Asylum. I'm a big fan of math. Taking precalculus atm. Homeschooled! But don't think I'm socially stunted or anything -- I get along with people just fine. :P So yeah! I'm just looking for someone to collaborate with, and we could cheer each other on. Add me up I'd you're interested! :D

Whenever I find time between homework and writing... it comes a close second to those, sadly. (Juliet Marillier, is AMAZING....) I will never stop writing. It's physically impossible! I'm slightly insane... but isn't everybody? Was homeschooled I play piano Also the flute... Kinda the guitar. But I can't figure out how to play that thing. -.- I am usually quite hyper and happy. You know something is quite wrong when I can't smile. I want to have more writing buddies! Doesn't really matter who, I suppose. Just humans! It helps make sure I get on and actually head for my word count. I will not give up! College or not, I shall survive!

*gasp* I LOVE THIS GAME!!! So, hi there! I'm Casey. 14 years old; freshman in high school. Whole slew on mental disorders and malfunctions-- ye hath been warned. I prefer the darker side of life; I've got an obsession with death and madness. Beyond that which could be called healthy. Warning aside, some of the rest about me. I'm an atheist, which I feel I should mention before I make friends with sermon who shall later inform me that I will go to hell and stuff. I love the Victorian era, and particularly love learning about Victorian asylums. I love to read: my favorite authors are probably John Green and Stephen King at the present moment. I also love poetry. I'm a huge fan of Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allan Poe. Umm I'm a huge theatre geek, currently playing Mrs. Teavee in Willy Wonka Jr (it'll be my sixteenth play) and uh uh um. I'm a Nerdfighter, a Slytherin, and have abjure tea addiction. If, per chance, I sparked your interest, message me. I'd love to talk.

I'm Ella, 15 years old. It's my first time doing NaNo and I'm absolutely shocked at the fact I'm actually succeeding (huge procrastinator here) I have a mild obsession with the Victorian Era, just gonna put that out there. I'm talking about tea, clothes, books, and really anything that falls under the category of "Victorian" Huge fan of Alice in Wonderland (The book) English and History are my fortes. Tea, tea, tea. Cake cake cake. (See the username.) My stories seem to be far to wordy, to the point where you can barely understand it. Fan of classics like H.G Wells or Jane Austin. I love to draw, anything creative, really. I'm about as open minded as you can get. I can be hyper or mellow. Completely open to making friends with anyone! ...But I want buddies so I know there are others feeling the wrath of NaNo on there social life...

Hi! I'm Jassie, 17, my picture is actually a drawing I did of my friend. Senior in high school and I swim, a lot, so I don't have that much time, plus this and the ten thousand other extracurriculars I do so that's why I'm behind word count (help?). I love turtles, making paper cranes, drawing, reading, swimming, math, science, just about anything that requires thinking... I went through a phase where I taught all my friends the finer points of quantum physics. I don't watch tv and I don't have a favorite book but chances are if you like it, I've read it. I feel like I'm advertising myself. (Which I've been doing much too much recently. Hey colleges! Look at this wonderful well-rounded, high-achieving student eager and willing to pay you to get an education! etc etc etc). Motivate me to write more! Thanks! :)

I've been writing for a few years, and roleplaying for about the same time so I believe I have a good knowledge of writing. I'm a big fan of the C'thulhu mythos, so if your an H.P. Lovecraft fan we'll get along fine.

It's basically limited to Doctor Who, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and occasionally Merlin. I'm completely in love with Draco Malfoy. NOT TOM FELTON (well, kind of him too). Anyway, I just want a writing buddy around my age to help me along with this and give me some motivation to win it. I know some people personally who are doing it, but a few of them are huge slackers. I'd like someone who's writing just as hard as I am and wants to win just as much. Also, if you like Harry Potter or Doctor Who, then it'll be much easier to talk to me because in most other subjects, I become a socially awkward introvert.

I could seriously talk your ear off if you gave me the chance. Or have a duel too. *draws dagger* I'm very good at sword play. I also raise dragons for pets, so be careful you don't step on any of their tails if you ever come to my house. This is my second NaNo, so I sorta/kinda know the ropes. Last year I failed epically at trying to write a novel. I'm scrambling and working my butt off to stay caught up this time. And let's just say if you need me to give you a little nudge to keep writing, I can do that too. I'll drag you across that finish line with me if I have to! Message me if you wanna have a chat. Can't wait to talk to you!

I am eighteen years old, a highly-imaginative girl, and working as an EMT with the local ambulance department. I am going to my first year of college, studying Anatomy and Physiology in Utah, and I can't wait to be a Forensic Pathologist. I've been writing for a long time, but this is the first time doing NaNoWriMo, and I'm so excited to finally have an original idea. I specialize in FanFiction, and have published 18 stories/oneshots over the course of three years. (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1429725/) I have an unhealthy obsession with the Volturi, and I don't know why. I'm not a fan of the Twilight universe, I only read the books as a courtesy to Steph, who is a family friend. The universe itself is...interesting. Cut out the absurd love-triangle, and it could be more interesting. I hate reading romances, but I love writing them. Why? I don't exactly know... I love shady/obscure/villainous/ambiguous characters. Among my list of favorite characters: Grima Wormtongue - The Lord of the RIngs Cutler Beckett - Pirates of the Caribbean Aro of the Volturi - New Moon/Breaking Dawn Praetor Shinzon - Star Trek: Nemesis The Joker - The Dark Knight Severus Snape - Harry Potter What more to say about little old me?

Hello everyone, it seems i'm late to the party XD Anyways, my name is Trevor, i'm 15 and i'm looking for some writing buddies. As far as writing goes i mostly enjoy good fantasy novels, but i'll read just about anything that catches my eye. As long as it isn't a romance, God how I hate them! So this is my first year in NaNoWriMo and let me tell you, it's a lot harder than i though it would be, but i'm doing alright. And for all of you who wish to get to know me a little before talking to me, here's a quick, generic fact list! Name: Trevor Franklin Age/Grade: 15/Freshmen Likes: Writing, drawing, video games (those from the SNES and 64 in particular), books, fantasy novels, and a whole bunch of stuff. Dislikes: I dunno, people i can't get along with i guess... That and most types of veggies, not a big fan of em' Interesting Facts: People say I have a deep voice, I act extremely mature for my age, and you could say i'm more than a bit odd. Also, you will notice i'm not updating my word count... yeah i'm not really going for the "gold" this year so don't expect one from me. As for preference to who adds me to their list, i have none, so go ahead. With that in mind, thanks for reading my little mini rant, and I'll see you all around. ~Trevor AKA Heckran

I'm also fond of historical/autobiographical things told in a 'story' kind of style. I also like tea, playing runescape, music and umm...not many other things. I'm a bit of a nerd. I am trying to write something post-apocalyptic, and I will accept requests from anybody it would be nice to have someone with the same interests or type of story so we can encourage each other/I can sob because mine is far worse than yours. Oh and I sort-of like anime...Ergo Proxy is my favourite.

My name is Draco Malfoy. I am a racist, I deny gingers and Mudbloods, I hate Gryffindor house, and my parents work for the man who killed your parents do you want to be my friend?

Carley124 — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:37:53 +0000

I'm Carley. I'm 16 (for two more weeks!). I'm a high school senior. I prefer paranormal but I'm open to a lot of things. I have an addiction to Dr. Pepper (not a literally caffiene addiction, I just really like the soda). I use paranthesis a lot when I talk to people only but never in my writing. My favorite smiley face is this one: O.o I like to consider myself funny but you can be the judge of that? I haven't totally figured out the point of a writing buddy, actually. This is my first year doing NaNo. I'm guessing it's to have word wars/sprints with or just talk to about writing or something? I don't really care; I like meeting new people. :)

MTravs7, that is the greatest quote ever. Just because of that, I would love to be your friend. "Welcome to the Dark Side. We lied. We don't have cookies. We do, however, have Draco Malfoy. You're welcome." In case I didn't add this before (I'm too lazy to go back a page and look at my first post), I would like to say that I like playing World of Warcraft when it's not constantly updating and that I enjoy zombie movies.... A lot.

Ello! My name's Scarlitt. You can add me if you want to and you don't have to ask since I also have a habit of randomly adding people to my buddy list. I'm a bit eccentric... okay I'm just plain strange. Anime and manga is nearly half my life but that doesn't make me a weeaboo... It makes me an otaku, just not as crazy. I'm 17 and I live in the United States... meh. I'm mainly just looking for buddies to compare to, to see how well I'm doing and where I should be. =D

Well, I guess I should post here because I don't think I have any writing buddies my own age O.o Anyway, my name is Sarah, and I'm a 17 year old girl living somewhere in the depths of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado (USA for those who don't know). I've been writing for... oh, pretty much ever and I love to help people with plot ideas, editing (though I'm currently self-editing the first book of a series I'm working on so I can't really edit right now :/) and just read things :) You could call me weird, but that would mean my personality can be pinned down and placed into a box. I'm what's known as a stereotype breaker who doesn't care what people think of me. I play video games, I'm a music freak (I'll listen to anything), I love anime and mange (though not so much anymore), romance is a guilty pleasure of mine, fantasy is my favorite genre every, I do like sci-fi however, I'm a psychology freak, I hate math despite being good at it, I could care less about religion (believe what you want. It's not up to me to tell you what to think, and I'm a complete and total writing nerd. You can add me to your buddy list without telling me first, though I may have an internal panic attack over here in Colorado, but I'll get over it. Sometime. ;) Anyway, I'd love to get to know more teen writers because I don't know as many as I wish I did :) So go ahead and send me a message!

Hi, I am LuLiLa! I have already posted here a while ago but let's face it, no one ever looks at past pages for writing buddies ;). I always look forward to gaining new writing buddies and meeting new people to share my writing with! I'm just turning 14 this month and I love writing supernatural and sci-fi stories. Also, every novel I have ever attempted to write had mostly been told from a ghost's point of view. Yeah, that's right, I write nearly everything from a ghost's point of view, don't ask me why, I just love writing that way! So, pretty much all my MCs always die in the first chapter of my stories! XD My NaNo this year is a sci-fi ghost story with weird stuff like robotic children! XD, sort of, just read my synopsis and excerpt for more info. My intrests outside of writing include: vocaloid music (just got Hatsune Miku software!), dogs, robotics (especially Sony aibos), and reading ghost stories. I'd love to meet some new writing buddies and don't be afraid to send me a message!

I'm a nerdfighter, I absolutely adore Harry Potter and the Hunger Games, my favourite musicians include Frank Turner, System of a Down and the Hectic Glow November's nearly over, but I'd love to have a writing buddy for the last week or so, so do send me a message :)

Hi, I'm Caroline. I'm 13, and not sure what I'm going to write for NaNoWriMo (I'm bumping around a few ideas). Since this is my first year, I'm kind of looking for someone who has either done this before or is older than me. Kind of like a mentor, I guess. My favorite genres to read are action-fantasy, science fiction, anything utopian/dystopian (some of my favorite books are The Giver and The Hunger Games series), and realistic fiction (odd combination of genres, I know).

Hey there, guys! I'm Ella (well, okay, that's actually my writer pen name ^-^) and this is my third year at Nano after I lost [failed] the last two years. But that's okay! Because this year, this year I'm going to win by rewriting the novel I wrote for the previous two years. I am, I swear >.> So some stuff about me: - primarily looking for writing buddies / critique partners (<3 D:) - I will strive to be the best critique partner for everyone (if that person needs me to) - I'm 15 and a sophomore in high school - I mainly write urban fantasy and paranormal, but contemporary fiction is cool with me too - I wuv J.K. Rowling, Sarah Dessen, and John Green - I'm in marching band! ^-^ - I'm a Leo (if that matters o.o) - I have another WIP during the non-Nano months. it's...you know. it's a WIP, so... >.> - I'm a huge procrastinator. probably why I've lost the past two years...ahem. Well, here I am? o.o Thanks so much for taking the time to read this :]

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

thrilleraddict — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:27:14 +0000

I'm a teenager ( I'm a bit uncomfortable about mentioning my age a lot because I feel that people subconsciously can judge a person by their age. No offense though ) and this is my first NaNoWriMo. And I'm stil super uncomfortable with giving out a lot of info about myself ( like my age, where I go to school, etc) since I worry about others ( again, I know ) subconsciously stero-typing me, but I'll give a bit of info for the sake of everyone else: I like writing thrillers ( if you want to call it that, can't think of a better genre/word to call it. ) and I am experimenting with a short horror story right now, I don't know how it'll turn out. Did I mention that I'm strange? I feel like I have a very confused mind sometimes, and I don't know if it's from childhood incidents or not, ( I've been journaling since I was...seven? and I vaguely remember that I wrote some stuff down. ) but don't all writers have confused minds? ;) In " real life ", I'm very quiet around those I'm not well acquainted with. This doesn't mean you can't NaNomail me, though. It's just, here in real life off the computer, I'm afraid of saying something stupid and sometimes I don't really have anything to say at all. ( Am I insecure?? ) You can NaNomail me with ideas, paragraphs to critque, anytime. I really am unsure of what time zone I'm in ( Pacific?? ) but I will most likely be on a lot. Yes, when I get a can of Coke or a bottle of it, count on the fact that I will probably be bouncing off the walls with one or two sips. That makes for fast typing and an awesome high for writing! Enough info for y'all? :)

Fifteen and a freshmen. 3. I love Harry Potter, Eragon, His Dark Materials, and Lemony Snicket's Series of Unforunate Events. I owe my love of big books to that series. Or do I blame my love of reading to Junie B Jones and The Magic Treehouse. That line "Then everything was still. Absolutely still." I loved and still do. 4. I love anime/manga. I am a novice, sorta. So, my lists are Inuyasha, Naruto, Blue Exorcist, Bleach, Black Butler, and Im looking into more. 5. Love my yaoi and slash. I blame the Internet. 6. 4'11". I will be 5'3" one day, I swear it. 7. I'm African-American or just black, whatever. 8. Don't have a religion. An atheist. But, sometimes I switch over to Pastafarianism. RAmen. 9. I want to be an E.R. Doctor or a therapist. 10. Eh, being crazy or insane isn't something I do. Its something I am.

Uh, well, hi! I guess first of all, I'm doing Camp NaNo(June), and I'll also be doing November, so it should be nice and exciting and stressful this year. It will also, consequently, be my second year of NaNo. I'm seventeen(for about four more months), and I love drawing. My hope is to someday be a manga artist, I am embarrassingly clumsy, and I will be trying my hand at writing horror this year. My writing mascot is a miniature robot named Gordon. I love Arthur Conan Doyl(Sherlock Holmes), J.K. Rowling, and Dean Koontz. I bake, crochet, and have a borderline unhealthy obsession with Coke Vanilla and dark chocolate. Uh... If there's anything else, just ask~<3

Things I like, hmmmm, probably a shorter list of what I don't like, but here goes: Fantasy! (Lord of the Rings, Narnia, great!) I don't like stuff like Harry Potter or Twilight though. Sci-fi! (Star Wars, Thunderbirds (both film and tv series), SeaQuest DSV (Deep Submersive Vessel, I think)) Love it!!!! I'm not sure if this is sci-fi or not, probably is but yeah, superheroes (cartoons and comics, prefer cartoons though, easier to get the storyline). Reading! I quite like running as well. Talking to the person that I imagine is in my head....I'm not schizophrenic, honest! Way more that I can't be bothered to write down.

Hi there, My name is Camille, and I'm looking for a writing buddy. No gender preference, here's a little about me: -I've always been into reading and writing, but I sort of haven't done any of the two for a few years. I have a lot to catch up on, but I'm back on the wagon. -I like to Supernatural/Paranormal stuff. Science fiction too. -Mythology is kind of awesome. -I'm 17 years old, graduating this year and going to Art School in America :) -I'm half Moroccan half French and currently live in Morocco, though I only speak French and English with a very limited knowledge of Arabic. -I spend an unhealthy amount of time on the internet. -I'm Atheist/Agnostic, but I completely respect people of any religion, as long as they don't go about trying to convert me. ... What else can I say? I guess for the rest, you'll just have to get to know me :P. Just send me a Nanomail if you're interested. I'm available on Skype, Gmail, Facebook, or we can just correspond through Nanomail if you prefer.

Septadius — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 18:28:45 +0000

So, of course I'm going to think what I write here sounds terrible, but I'll do my best to tell about me. First off, my name is Ben. (People say that it is a strong name...but I'm not sure) I've always been interested in writing, and I wrote my first piece at the age of nine. I've always like fantasy, and I don't plan on ever stopping my fictional/fantasy writings. I go to a church, but I don't really have a religion (I believe in God, not religion) I don't have many friends, but the one's that I do have, we are close. I play in a worship band (More modern songs) and I really like most musics. I'll read pretty much anything that I find, and I will like almost all of it! I'll be honest too. Oh yes, I school at home. It's fun at times, but I catch quite a bit of flack from other family members about it. C.S Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien are my two favorite authors. (Me not included) I guess my favorite band is The Afters. So that's a little bit about me and what I like. I'm pretty shy face-to-face, but I wouldn't mind a buddy(ies) who know about writing and who wont think I'm nuts. (I like how my friends respond to my writings) Drop me a line if you are interested. ~Ben

Hi :) I'm Adriane (or Anne/Annie if you prefer), 17, Vietnamese high school junior. I don't officially belong to a religion though I think it'd suffice to say I believe in God. I'm a straight ally of LGBT people. I love writing - mostly translating because I lack the creativity - and my favorite authors are J.K.Rowling, C.S.Lewis, Suzanne Collins, CP Coulter (she wrote the wonderful Glee fanfic called Dalton that I'd wholeheartedly recommend even for those who aren't Gleeks), Philippa Gregory and Neil Gaiman. I'm fluent in Vietnamese, OK with English (I'm still angry over being 0.3 points short of the second prize in the National Competition in English for Gifted Students - but there's always next year) and my French skills are mediocre, having missed a large chunk due to training for the aforementioned competition. I plan on taking the SAT and moving to the US for college XD As to fandoms, I am obsessed with these: Glee, BBC's Sherlock (proud to be a Cumberbunny), Hunger Games (finished the series in a day, couldn't put my iPod down), Harry Potter, Narnia, Detective Conan (not surprising, I blame this series for introducing me to the consulting detective in the first place), and I'm a rehabilitated Twilighter who now stays away from the books and only read fanfics because there are many amazing writers in that fandom. And I also cross stitch. :) That's enough rambling, then - I'd love to be your writing buddy.

My absolute favorite book is ANNE OF GREEN GABLES. But I also like THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, LITTLE WOMEN, and AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. I love the classics. My hobbies include reading, writing, and piano. I honestly think the best thing that happened to television was ONCE UPON A TIME. I'm ready to write if you are!

Facebook or Skype is the best initial way to get in touch with me, but I'm also happy to download another form of communications :D By a writing buddy, I'm after someone who will set a word target with me, write, and then swap for feedback, maybe once or twice a week, but we can work that out later. I'm happy to read any genre, all I ask is you'll do the same for me (I mostly write slice of life, and fantasy, but sometimes I branch out). As for my interests, I love...wow... I have too many interests to list, so I'm sure we can find heaps of common ground. Post if you're interested and I'll give you my details! I look forward to writing with you! :D

Hi everyone..... I'm Sadie Holt. I'm 12, almost 13. This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo, and I've been having a lot of fun with it so far! It's a HUGE challenge, with school and all, but I've been managing somehow. I've been writing since I was 6, and hope to become a band/orchestra director (and author, if I can) when I graduate college, one day. :) I'm at about the 20,000 word mark. Well, 18,000. Oh well, I was close. I'm gonna finish this up, because I'm actually using this as a distraction from my writing right now. I should probably tell you about me and my NaNo, before I go, though. Okay. ME: -I'm a figure skater. Been one for 5 years in October. -I play a lot of instruments. (I'm a teensy bit obsessed :) ). I play French horn, flute, piano, violin, trumpet, and clarinet. But I'm not too good at most of them. I spend (or, rather SPENT) most of my free time practicing them, before NaNoWriMo came into my life. -I LOVE ice cream.... -I'm very interested in learning new things. I like new ideas. -I don't know what to write next...... :) [-Oh yeah, I'm a complete smiley face overkill. :) ] NANO: -It has no plot whatsoever. I plan to put in one on the second draft though. I kinda had a plot and a theme at the beginning, but that kinda just melted away over time. -It is about a 12 year old girl named Rose, who is very similar to me in many ways. -Most of it is just plain crap. But I plan to change that too. -I would like a bit more support with it, I don't get too much. I think if I had a little more support, I'd actually be able to write something worth reading. I have also been having a really bad week, so maybe when things brighten up, it'll get better. Well, I should stop stalling already and go work on my book. -Sadie Holt :D P.S. What I mean by 'writing buddy': Someone who will share their ideas with me, will listen to my ideas, we can help each other out, fix things up, etc. Oh, and I do write all year long. Just thought I should tell you that. Post/Reply if you're interested! I'll read any genre, just because I'm 12 doesn't mean I only read childrens' books! I'll read anything! :D Thank you! :)

Okay, I have way more to say about myself! Haha! I live in the country (Georgia)and sometimes I feel the affects when I enter a large place. Although I have the effects from living in such a small town (Population: 7,000) and having a bit of southern twinge to my voice unlike my parents who are from New York. I always joke around that y dad sounds like one of those 60's NY'ers. My parents have, mostly my mom, has gotten me involved the most on old music and many old shows which she enjoyed as a kid. I enjoy Led Zepplin, The Monkees, U2, Motley Crue, The Beatles, Cyndi Lauper, and sooo many artists and groups that I cant write them down. I love country music also such as Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, and a whole lot more. I don't just love country and rock though. I love a variety. I am a big mess when it comes to plots and many times I have given up because I procrastinate on what people may think about it. I mostly share my stories with my family and they give me the same feedback every time, and although it makes me feel warm inside, I really need new people to talk about writing. The people who feel what I go trough and can give me their opinions on certain writing matters from critiques, editing, or using a different adjective. Don't be shy if you want to be a writing buddy! Just message me and I'll be excited to respond. ~Katelyn :D

Hello, I'm Megan, Im 16. 5'11". I love to read others work and to get better at writing. I am an anime and manga fan. I read and watch everything, careful to analyze it. I play basketball on the side for fun and soccer too, though I'm pretty clumsy. I'm half Italian and the other half is Dutch and German and almost everything else. I live in a small town in Ny I have one sister though my parents are divorced so I have step siblings too. Probably about none though I still have yet to meet some of them. Historical Fantasy fiction is my preferred genre to write and I am in the process of writing my first official novel. I have several fanfictions though. I am afraid of men though most of my friends are guys. I tend to root my fears into my writing. I would love to have someone to read some of my work and to read some if theirs. :)

Hi, This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo. I am 16 and am REALLY excited. First thing I want to say is this. I am a conservative Christian. I am fine being writing buddies with someone who dosn't share all of my beliefs, although that would be nice. :) However, I do not want someone who uses bad language or blasphemy. I don't mean to sound rude; I just want to make that clear from the beginning. Also, I am only looking for girl buddies. I am homeschooled and LOVE it. I DO NOT care for fantasy or magic. I love Southern Gospel music! I know, I'm weird. I love G. A. Henty novels. I don't watch a lot of TV. I watch some old shows though, like Andy Griffith, Dragnet, Dick Van Dyke, etc. My favorite subjects are science and math. My story this year is about the sanctity of life, dealing specifically with the tragedy of tubal pregnancys.

Some things I love are Harry Potter, Team Starkid, Glee, just starting to get into Doctor Who, How I met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Shakespeare, reading, acting, dancing, writing (duh!) and much more. I am homeschooled but not for religious reasons (I am not religious at all!).

I'm from Mansfield Nottinghamshire, which is located in England, but I've wanted to live in California for the past five years of my life. I plan on attending Berkeley University. I know it will take effort but I have a very determined nature. I am a christian but I accept all religious beliefs. These are a few of my favourite things; - My Chemical Romance and Taylor Swift - Harry Potter -Tumblr - Beautiful dresses -Lip Piercings -Acoustic covers of songs - Kissing in the rain. - The smell of a new book:) Please be my friend?

Okay, so uh, Hi! Basic stats: 17, Female, Live in Indiana with my roommate and a cat named Neko. I have Fibromyalgia - so my life is pretty much being sick and trying to complete HS via correspondence. I spend a lot of time reading. Writing and I have a bit of a history. I wanted to be an author from the age of 11, but we grew apart around 14-15. But I found myself sick last year and reconsidered. Books: Shiver trilogy, the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, Wake trilogy, Blue Is For Nightmares series, HP, Stuff I can't remember (brain fog!) TV shows: The Office, House, HIMYM. I swear, I laugh, I joke and use sarcasm, and I have no idea what a nanobuddy does, but here's hoping I find out!

Sup, I'm Elphaba, teenage ~~witch~~ geek. Here's a little bit about me: *I'm a percussionist and a total band geek. I love almost anything concert or marching band. My favorite percussion instrument is the marimba, playing it with four mallets is particularly fun. *I'm an animation geek. I know tons of pointless animation trivia, and watch what is probably too many cartoons for someone my age. *I'm sixteen years old. I have a car named Mandy. *I like many genres of fiction. I'm pretty open to anything, though horror keeps me awake at night, so I try to avoid that. :P *I love musicals. Wicked is probably my favorite. I also like Phantom, Hello Dolly, A Chorus Line, and more that I'm too lazy to mention. *I also love orchestral/band music. My favorite composers as of late are Hazo and Whitacre, and the radio in my car is always turned to the classical station. *This is my fifth year doing NaNo, and hopefully my fourth year winning. *I'm a brony. (I don't use the term pegasister, because I'm a unicorn. -:P) *I like baking. *I identify as a Christian, and have what is probably considered a liberal theology. So that's more than you probably ever wanted to know about me.

Heya, I'm Chococat. :D I'm 14. This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo, but my older sister has done it before. I'm on Eastern Standard Time (I think) and I'm looking to make some new friends. :) I'm a non-denominational Christian, and I went to public school all the way up to this year. I'm now at a private school, but the tuition is supah expensive and all that stuff about being cheap asians and stuff so I'll be back in public school next year. I play flute, I like to read, and I could be classified as a nerd, I guess, except I've never gotten around to reading Harry Potter of LOTR and I don't play/watch Pokemon/Anime or anything. I really like reading, reading manga, playing random computer games, and talking to friends. :P I speak American English (lol) and I'm learning Spanish at school (I'm in Spanish 2 right now) and Chinese at church (2nd grade). I'm using a school-issued MacBook to write my story because I can't really fathom typing on an iPod touch (gahhh so difficult >__<) but I have nothing against PCs... I run track, but I mostly do it for fun because I'm super slow and eat lots of unhealthy food :D but I'm not fat. I'm not skinny, I'm not fat, I'm just average. I'm also pretty short, meaning not super short but shorter than a lot of people. I'm asian, but it doesn't really mean much since I was born in Texas. I suppose there's more, but if you've read through this whole thing without skimming I'll be amazed and I'd love to be your writing buddy :)

Hello! My name is Sue. I am 16 years old and home schooled. This is my first year as a home school kid and that is why I am doing NaNo. With school and life I never found myself to have time to do this. Although this year that all changes! Now I guess is the part I tell you a little bit of important stuff about me. -I love reading! I do not like vampire/angel stories. I do like dystopian novels, did I say like? I really meant obsessed… -my favorite book is the Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa; I like all her books in that series as well. -as of July of this year I am a Harry Potter addict, yeah! -laughing is my hobby, as is knitting, writing, and reading. -my story is about a girl that loses her sister due to suicide and that girl finds theirs more to her sister then anyone ever knew. (Yes, I am surprised I am not writing a dystopian novel. I do think about changing my story every other hour though.) -if you’re like me, or if your not like me at all, then lets be writing buddies! And let’s share our crazy, fanatical, month of November together!

I want a writing buddy! The name's Rachel, I'm fourteen years old as of this year although I'm rather mature online. That being said, I still love to have a good laugh and enjoy myself. I don't really have the attention spans for most movies, but do enjoy TV shows such as House, The Secret Circle, Supernatural and Futurama.. I currently study French, Latin and Italian (although that's outside of school) as well as all the core subjects since I'm only year nine, but I hope to study a reasonably high level of math as well as literature and the sciences such as physics, chemistry and biology. I'm looking for a writing buddy who preferably lives in Australia and has MSN or some form of instant messaging (facebook?) to keep in contact. I'm also happy to talk about other things other than writing, basically whatever tickles your fancy. So if that sounds like you, send me a message! :)

I'm just going to say right now, lemming_the_lemming, that you sound exactly like a person made of awesome should. DFTBA, my friend. About me: -My name is Maria -I am 19 -This is my second year as the Municipal Liaison for the Lethbridge, Alberta region -I am a second-year undergraduate at university, studying Music Education on French horn with a side of piano, voice, composition, and mathematics education. -This is my fourth year doing NaNo, and hopefully my fourth win. -I have developed acute tendinitis-verging-on-carpal-tunnel in both wrists, which may hinder the above point. -I love music, anime, woodworking, the Japanese language and culture, procrastination, fanfiction by the boatload, wandering the internet, reading young adult fiction and adult fantasy, Red Vines, and all manner of other things that don't happen to cross my mind at the moment. -I enjoy long walks between classes (not really), dinner by the light of my dorm room kitchen's three burnt-out bulbs (as long as the food's good), and watching sunsets from my bedroom window (when I'm done holing myself in the basement music corridor from 9-7). -I am a Nerdfighter. -And a Starkid (who will always prefer Joey Richter over Darren Criss) -And a band geek. -And a Potterhead -And one of those people who you look at and ask, "Why in all hell does she involve herself in so many things at once and suffer potential mental breakdowns due to stress?" -I hate racists, onions, 4Kids dubs, hypocrites, and bad music -This year, my novelling project is a continuation of a Fullmetal Alchemist/CSI: Las Vegas crossover fanfiction that I have been writing for just over four years now. I've finally decided enough is enough and I will actually finish it without letting procrastination overwhelm me!

HOME SCHOOLERS UNITE. Though, technically, I've graduated. ;) Hello there! I'm Katherine (or Squiddish), I'm 18, a homeschool graduate, and generally just an ordinary individual. (Ordinary? Nothing ordinary about me!) I love Glee, although I hate Rachel, New Girl is amazing, and Parenthood are what get me through my TV-ness, for the most part. Though I've watched copious amounts of TV and movie... just so happens that I no longer have the time for it. Killer ants have been out to get me since that sidewalk incident two weeks ago. I think they're recording my room... there are cameras everywhere. They're watching you. They're watching me. They are everywhere. As well, music is amazing.. though, honestly, from your list I can only officially say that I know and like Maroon 5. Mostly because Katherine tends to stick closely to her Country music. (Or Spanish, despite not speaking a lick of it) I'd love to be buddies. If you don't mind someone nagging you for word wars or occasionally checking in to see how the wordcount's coming. ;)

OMG, I've been reading this WHOLE THREAD looking for an LOTR fan! Please be my buddy? Hm, I guess I'm getting ahead of myself... I'm 18, freshie in college, LOVE LOTR, Eragon, Narnia, The Hunger Games, The Deed of Paksenarrion, and just epicness in general. I also like The Giver and "softer" stuff like that. And pirates, ninjas, and Jedi(s?). And Han Solo, who deserves a category all his own. :) So if there's someone out there who isn't totally repelled by the description above, add me! Also, there's a twitter thing some people are trying to get going. use the hashtag #NaNoDailyWC to post your progress! If you wanna add me on twitter, I'm @slightlyclueles.

The Man In the High Castle by Philip K. Dick has a very similar premise, but your story will probably end up being entirely different, because it's such a dynamic topic.

Thank you! Same to yourself. I have to say, I love the idea of a CSI/FMA crossover. So many possibilities. I've only seen the odd episode of CSI (it's what my mum watches when there's nothing else on), but I'd really like to know what would happen is Grissom met Mustang. Also, agreed on onions. Racists, bad music and 4Kids are just givens, frankly.

Hi, Lauren! My name is Emily Lane. I have loved writing since the sixth grade. I am fifteen, I adore my dog, Snickers, or Snicker-doodle as I affectionately dubbed her. I love writing romance, yes, I know, how cliche is that? But not the cheesy, knock your socks off, laughing type. I like love triangles, but especially Damon, Elena, and Stefan's love triangle on the vampire diaries, book-wise and tv-show style. I ship Damon and Elena whole-heartedly. I love them, in every aspect of their relationship, and they grow cuter and more amazing, with each scene as the show progresses into season 3. If you're a Stefan and Elena shipper, which is okay, I won't chew you out for it, but I won't be as happy about it either. It'll be mutual thing. My dream is to write, and be published someday, and for people to love my words or hate them. Either is fine. I love Bones, TVD, Ringer, Chuck, White Collar, Psych, Nikita, and some others, we can discuss if you agree to be my writing buddy. I get obsessed over things, easily, like TV, and books, as you can see. This is my third year of Nano, and I would love, to be your pal, through it all if you'll let me. I've never been to Australia, but it seems like a pretty darn awesome place. I'm addicted to chocolate, Lolly Pops, and suckers the size of someone's head, as well as drama, romance, and lots and lots of cuddling with my dachshund Snickers. ---Emily Lane

My fic focuses primarily on Ed and Al, and their interactions with the CSI cast. I must say, I'm having a ton of fun with Ed and Grissom, as well as Ed and Catherine, conversations. The dynamics are just so interesting to write! Mushrooms are pretty disgusting, as well. Though I tend to lean toward onion hatred more readily. And 4Kids really should just not exist. My roommate likes to show me what they did to the first seasons of One Piece, and it makes me want to cry from the travesty.

O.o I'm also completely insane, horribly lazy, and torn between being a good Catholic girl and an evil goth-emo-punk rebel thing :D Meaning I alternate every few days and confuse the hell out of everyone I know. Third time for me too, although both times previously I've failed EPICALLY. Your novel sounds awesome xD I tried writing something vaguely similar (although a lot darker) last year and didn't get past 500 words :/ This year, I'm going in completely the opposite direction and writing something steampunk and adventure-y (because steampunk is awesome) Hoping to at least get past 10,000 words this time, but I'll definitely need more motivation, so a writing buddy to nag me occasionally would be great :D

I'd love to have a buddy. - I love tea and chocolate, summer and winter, and music. - I play the piano and a bit on the violin, I'm going to start the saxophone, and I can't sing to save my life even though I'm in the school choir (I can dream, right?) - I hate heights and dolls, Geography and hockey, and jelly. - I'm obsessed with writing. As in, I may consider substituting air for it if I had to choose between the two. - I'm a Leo, born in late July, and am a Tiger in the Chinese new year. - I despite cats and love dogs. - My favourite books span from The Time Traveller's Wife to Harry Potter to lesser known things like Lament by Maggie Steifvater and The Constant Princess.

Alas, no. I'm trying hard to stay away from LittleKuriboh's parody, even though I might end up calling Malik's dark half Melvin, since I can't think of a normal sounding name to call him. I love Abridged, but sometimes it overtakes canon a bit too much for me~

OH MY GOSH!!! Harry Potter and Doctor Who? Eragon too? Same here!! I'm 16 as well [my name is Joy] and this is my second year doing NaNoWriMo. I have to say that it is A TON of fun and totally worth all of the time that you put into it. I love writing, making videos [though I haven't made one in a while cause I've been busy], and reading on rainy days. If you want to be writing buddies that would be so awesome. [I'm kinda freaking out about the whole Harry Potter, Eragon, and Doctor Who thing because I haven't met anybody who likes all three as well] :)

Hi! I'm Beth, 17, and this is my first year too! I LOVE Harry Potter a ridiculous amount, Doctor Who is awesome and I really must read Eragon! I play the cello, guitar and piano, love writing songs, poetry, fiction, anything really! John Green is my favourite author and person haha! I would love to be writing buddies :D by the way, I'm crazy!

POKEMON HARRY POTTER AND ERAGON ALL AT ONCE OH MY GOD I'm 16 too and my name is Dayna. This is my third nano and this will be my seventh novel (I've also written four screenplays). I'm a Junior in high school and I go to an all girls boarding/day school in Virginia. I've loved pokemon ever since preschool, and have every pokemon game since gameboy color (and some of those as well). It's borderline obsessive, I know. Let's be buddies!

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

MsPanicMoon — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 22:29:57 +0100

Hey, if you're a fan of Doctor Who and Eragon....in one of the books, a 'Lonely God' is mentioned briefly and never talked about again. Later, the author explained, "My only excuse is...the Doctor does travel through different dimensions." (About that, my memory isn't perfect.) Yeah, I just feel like sharing that with everyone who likes both those things, since it's kind of amazing he managed to get something he's a huge fan of in a published book and everything. (If you don't believe me- which is reasonable- just check wikipedia. And yes, wikipedia is obviously the best source of information that's accurate and not at all a lie.)

ProngsiePotter — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:52:50 +0000

HP and DW!? Did I hear someone call my name? Harry Potter and Doctor Who are two of my absolute FAVOURITE things. I'm 13, my name is Rachel, and I can typically be seen with anywhere from two to twelve novels in my arms at any given time. I'm a major Pokemon fan (My Magical Hat of Writing is Pikachu!), I know how to play with your mind in ways you may never understand (I'm reading two Psychology books), I have a very extensive list of fandoms, and any time I'm not doing something, I've got a computer in front of me, a book in my hands, and a notebook to my right. I'm a bit of a grammar nazi, but it even annoys me, so I try to ignore that habit. This is my first year WriMo-ing, but I have a plan and I think I'll do well. I am a Nerdfighter as well. I have yet to read Eragon, but now I really really want to. Chameleon Circuit is my favourite band, hands-down (I am DEFINITELY of the Trockhead generation xD), Turn Left is pretty cool, and my three best friends and I want to start a Doctor Who/Harry Potter band. I'm a fan of Glee, House, Criminal Minds, AVPM/S, Slashnovels (homosexual romance novels- don't ask if you don't understand it), Torchwood, and so many other things I can't even list them all. Some of my favourite bands are Chameleon Circuit, Turn Left, the Remus Lupins, Tonks and the Aurors, Harry and the Potters, ALL CAPS, WinterSpringPro (Slytherin Night, mostly), and so manyother Wrock bands that I have 33 tabs of Wrock bookmarked on my laptop, and that's just the ones I listen to often. Well, I think that's a long enough rant for now. Buddy me if you want xD P.S, I'd like to acknowledge, there are 42 people/comments here before me. DFTBA -Prongsie

JenArianne — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 22:41:17 +0000

oh wow! you're one of the few awesome people who loves Doctor Who AND Eragon (at least that I know of)!!! My friends just showed me the awesomeness of Doctor Who about three months ago and I'm hooked! But Eragon, that's something that helps honestly inspire me. I'm 15 so a young author makes me optimistic. By the way, I wouldn't get me started on Harry Potter, most people get lost after a minute or two when i start calling them idiotic muggles.

Re: Age Group: Teens Writing Buddies

Oh Gosh! Harry Potter and Eragon? Same here! They're both amazing. I'm 15 and my name is Sierra. This is my first year of NaNoWriMo and I'm really excited. I get along with basically everyone. I will say however, that I'm a Harry Potter addict so if you are too then you should add me. I also like Twilight, but its not near as good as Harry Potter or Eragon. Hum. I can't really think of anything else to say... :O (Yes, be ye warned, I love to talk. )

I lovelovelove Harry Potter, Doctor Who--although I'm still only on the third season--John Green--obviously--Maureen Johnson, Sarah Dessen, e. Lockhart, Louise Rennison, polka-dots with stripes, glitter, and most genres of music. Especially wrock. The Remus Lupins are the best. :D If anyone wants to be my writing buddy, just NaNoMail me. I think it would also be totally awesome to have a group "write-in" on Skype if anyone is interested. :)

I love Harry Potter, Glee, Doctor Who, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory and Shakespeare (Macbeth is by far my favourite). I read, write and dance as well, and I've tried my hand at acting but the memorising of lines puts me off, so I've been writing them for my drama group instead. I've never met someone who's homeschooled, what's it like? I'd be happy to be a writing buddy for you if you'd like :)

You know the current singer is only the singer because the previous lead was sick and he filled in, and people liked his voice better so he just...stuck with it? I don't know, I thought that was interesting. I feel like these comments should actually tell people something, so even if they don't become a writing buddy, they still get something out of it. Useless information, that is.

Oh! Some things I forgot to mention...I also like some anime/manga. Currently I have only read or watched Fruits Basket, Busou Renkin, some Death Note, and InuYasha :D And out of all of these InuYasha is BY FAR my favorite anime show. :3 I live in America. :] I like experimenting with all types of genre's, but I haven't tried Comedy or Horror yet. I probably will never try comedy, because I'm pretty sure I fail at it. And I just haven't figured out a plot for Horror yet.. I have yet to find out what I'm writing about this yar. And now I only have a week to do it. Other books that I love are The Mortal Instruments, Alex Rider, The Uglies Series, Virals, MAximum Ride, Percy Jackson. And that it all. :) NanoMail me if you want to be buddies. :)

Katniss1 — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 21:45:45 +0100

Hey! I'm Katniss, (Not my real name, but lots of people call me that anyways) I am considered fairly random... I'm not into manga either, and I have read all the harry potters... but don't remember any of them, I'm in eighth grade, and am in Spanish 102 and 9th grade math. I love Max Ride, Rangers Apprentice, the HG, the Gone series, the Incarceron series, too many to list. I love to read, in case that required clarification. I play acoustic and electric bass, and piano. I dislike rap, but like any kind of epic music, rock, pop, jazz, etc. (especially Coldplay, OneRepublic, and The Fray) I also like old music, for example, The Eagles (Hotel California, anyone?) I love clean comedy, which I listen to often. My story is going to be a Sci-Fi, and is going to be more or less clean, although I may swear a couple times, but it won't be all that bad. It will have content similar to I Am Number Four. I tend to change tenses, so you'll have to be patient with me. I love fan fiction, but I am going to restrain myself from writing one this time. Wanna be Writing buddies?

Another nerdfighter here =D I'm Lily and I'm 19, I LOVE harry potter and House, I've only ever gotten around to seeing season 1 of doctor who, which was awesome. I joined nanowrimo like three years ago, but this is the first I'm actually going to try and reach 50k, so I'd love to have some writing buddies xD DFTBA!

AaronPaulos — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 03:13:24 +0100

I`d happily be your writing buddy. I live in Canada too. :) I`m currently obsessed with the Dresden Files series, and I`ve read nearly every one of them. I`d have read them all by now if I had money, haha I don`t really watch TV, but I do love cooking, travelling, and writing above all. I have a passion for it, but at the same time NaNoWriMo is about the only time of the year that I can arse myself into writing constantly like I`d like to. Any other time, I always seem to find something better to do. This month is going to be a busy one, so I`ll definitely need somebody to share my sorrows with :p

Yo! I play WoW as well, am a geek, play instruments, am going to do something creative (visual arts are my field, I'm gonna be an illustrator - yay for children's books and album covers etc~) for living in future and am also eighteen! And love fantasy and such things as my main genres are the same as yours. I don't have NaNo angel (yet?) and, as angels remind me of religions, I could say I don't really believe in angels but am not an atheist either. I have my own mixed, twisted and strange ways of believing in things but luckily I'm one of those "isn't every religion as much right as another?" -dudes. Discrimination and prejudices are highly unsupported by me as well. And I think you might have already guessed, I'd like to be your writing buddy!

You play oboe? AWESOME. I always get stuck with the oboe parts in school band, despite the fact that I play violin, because we only have scores for wind bands :') Also, totally random, but my best friend/sister is in the ATC, she's fairly high up in terms of ranks, too :D (I'm so proud of her xD)

Disney classics are the best movies you could ask for! :) I also adore the X-Men movies and was obsessed with the concept of X-Men for awhile. It's also my second year doing NaNoWriMo, but I've known about it far before then. I hope I can actually reach atleast the 50K mark this year.

Hey! I'm 14 too, and I used to read Tamora Pierce books a lot. :) All of the Tortal series and Circle of Magic books. I also like to read manga (but no anime, XP). I play flute in concert band at school, and I used to play piano until this school year. I can't draw either... my little brother is a better artist than me. *sigh* I'll be your writing buddy! If it helps, try to get some people from school to write too :D Did I mention this is my first year so my goal is, um, 25,000 words? :P

Hey, I was thinking about putting some romance/erotica into my novel but I'm not so sure about how to write it... I was wondering if you could maybe help me out with it, and I would love to hear about what you're writing as well, would you be my writing buddy?

In my world, "buddied" will always be word. ;D Yay, a fellow Savvy!! :D Oh, and I forgot to add all the books I like. O.O Failure... :/ Any who, I love the Hunger Games triology! :3 My favorite book is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. Psht, girl, I saw Taylor Swift live and it was the best night of my life! I'm glad people are actually interested in the concept. I wasn't so sure on it. They kinda are like a match maker group but kinda not. xD Idk, how that works out, but I guess you'll just have to read it to understand.

I think I would be a junior if I went to school and if I lived in america... I'm a bit crazy and hyper... a bit being an understatement... I totally agree with you on all the things you said were terrifying. ARRRGGG DENTISTS!!! Also I'm totally with you about Nathan Fillion... He's amazing, and pretty damn gorgeous. AND DEAR GOD HOW THE HELL DID I NOT THINK OF BEING KATNISS!!! That is a completely genius idea! I don't love Taylor Swift as much as you but I do listen to her sometimes because I find it very calming... well generally reading about you I think you're awesome, be writing buddies?

Feel free to peruse any of the links to see if I'm too dull or too freaky for you. Oh! And please only contact me through NaNoMail so I know who you are.

Animation films are always the best films! x3 I'm an animation geek but I find myself liking American animation over Japanese anime. Weird, huh? Speaking of Spirited Away, Ponyo is one of my favorite films! :) You got to love Hayao Miyazaki. <3 Did you know Studio Ghibli is releasing a new film this year(or is it next)based off of some book? It's no Hayao Miyazaki but of course people who work on his films worked on this project. So going to go see it! :D I'm not big on anime TV shows. I've only completed two anime shows fully. Ouran High School Host Club and a lesser known show known as Noein are those two which I've watched every episode. I adore OHSHC! :3 It's just too funny. I don't like Harry Potter either, but my best friend is obsessd with it. xD LOL. I added you as my buddy if you don't mind.

Argh. Too bad you're in New York, since that means a 12 hour time difference in between us. Ah, well. So, I'm also a junior in highschool. And I was planning to write a Light Novel-style novel, but I threw that out of the window and made my work instead. Conservative Christians would be shocked if they really knew who I was (trust me, I've lived among them all my life and a few were really quite surprised when I finally confessed to my beliefs or whatever), and you sound fun. Sarcasm is a lovely thing bleed and to have. tl;dr Enough rambling. Do you want to be writing buddies?

(: I'm also writing a YA novel (but I'm still quite stuck). I love Hamlet, as well (which is good, because I'm studying it for the third year in a row)...and Maximum Ride was a guilty pleasure of mine back in grade twelve. Some of the authors I enjoy reading are Orson Scott Card, Suzanne Collins, Maggie Stiefvater, and J.D. Salinger. Anyone who's got a story that can pull me into its world, really. Let me know if you'd like to be writing buddies, haha. (:

Can I just say that we are almost scarily alike? Well, with the technical stuff, maybe not the personality. My name is Sarah (although I go by Sara instead, 'cause I think it looks nicer). I'm fourteen, turning fifteen on the 13th of December. I also love Harry Potter (and your icon!). I'm a Slytherin. I have been obsessed with Pokemon my whole life. xD I love all kinds of music, too. This is also my second year and I love animals AND I was homeschooled last year. xD Holy crap! You live in Washington, too?!

Wow. That sounds exactly like me! This is my second year but I've never been able to complete a manuscript before :( Almost six years I've been playing around with the same characters who keep changing their stories! But this year, I plan to finish.

Hi! *high fives fellow whovian* I love dragons! Dragons are amazing and wonderful and I want one. Or at least one of those mini ones that the Triwizard champions had to draw out of the bag to see which one they had to go up against.

Boo, and I super like Chemistry but NOT PHYSICS. Don't talk to me about physics. Chemisty and Pre-Cal are my fave. Also, I'm normally not this forgetful. I'm super organized. I'm the orchestra president at my school! I'm also assistant editor of the school newspaper and a photographer for our yearbook staff. I have a twin sister who is going to London to march in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee parade as drum major for my high school! Yaaay! I swear...no more replies from me on my own comment. :)

love your picture, it pretty much explains me at this point. I started a few days late so i'm at the OMG WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO stage. i would love to be your buddy, but i'm a complete nerd. my interests include writting (no duh), drawing (badly), obsessivly watching dr. who (which no one seems to know what it is), and spelling things wrong. I would also love to have a few writting buddies, if you can stand my horrible grammer and poetic tendancies.

So I added you, and I'm afraid I probably look like a creep. A 15 year old girl creep. The fact that you collect Vogues and are into photography is absolutely fascinating to me, since that's just like me (kind of, I'm really just a spoiled brat that happens to have a photographer as a mother.) I love the bands you mentioned, and The Dark Knight (Fantastic movie, fantastic director.) So I'm replying to you to avoid being socially awkward by just sending a buddy request out of the blue. Also I hope the fact that I'm two years younger doesn't make me sound like a kid, which I am, which is slowly gnawing away at my soul.

Let's see: I love pretty much every genre, but I prefer writing adventure reading is my favorite pastime I also write outside of nanowrimo. I have a novel I'm writing, but I can't work on it because I need to catch my butt up. I don't curse. I'm a girl. I've never seen so many people that like Doctor Who on one site before. 0.0 But Doctor who is pretty awesome. First year of nano. Beware: I'm akward at speaking certain things sometimes. xD You seem really cool, I'd be your buddy.

Hello! I'm Ellie, I'm fourteen and i would love to be your buddy! I have a fair sized list of mental disorders myself and do have a certain like of death and crazy things like that... I find people who love that kind of thing usually have the most interesting conversations. I share your love of tea. I tend to write realistic fiction post-apocoliptic novels that are hideously romantic and horribly sarcastic and involve some form of torture - you have been warned so um.... if you want to be buddies, message me! mostly i just want someone to talk to and cheer on towards the word count o' the day.

Hi, I'm Emerald, I'm nearly 15 Have you heard of Emilie Autumn? She's an amazing musical artist and her autobiography is all about her time in an asylum and comparing it to Victorian Asylums - it's excellent, you should read it if you haven't! It's called 'The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls' http://www.mamstore.co.uk/bin/pxisapi1.exe/large?item=801395 Good luck!

Hi! I have a whole slew of nicknames, but you can call me Ben or Paul, whichever you would prefer. It's my first time doing NaNo as well, and like you, I am a huge procrastinator, I actually just caught up. Anyway. I share your obsession with the Victorian Era, sort of NeoVictorian I would guess. I share a bunch of your likes, including History. You want to be writing buddies?

Hey I'll be your buddy! I'm 14, so I'm older, maybe wiser. I like to make lists. -I'm a girl but I hate gender stereotypes. -My name is Maddy, but I have an alter ego named Margo. It's a long story that I could tell you sometime. -I did Nano last year but I lost. That was my first Nano, and I am still editing my book. -I love being critiqued, but I'm extremely paranoid about people stealing my ideas. -I have a website with a writing blog as of yesterday. -I write a lot of steampunk and atompunk. -I like to write about hive minds. -I prefer Nanomail, then email for communication. -I'm very talkative on weekends but during the week I don't socialize much. -I can't write without my Snuggie. -I'm in three advanced classes at school. -I play flute. Sorry that was a lot. :)

I would love to critique your work, by the way. I would let you read mine, but I've actually taken a break from sharing my work. I found that I started writing for other people and it became much less fun. My all time favorite series is Harry Potter. I'm completely in love with it. And James Potter. I love James Potter. I'm no religion. Well technically, I'm Catholic, but I don't practice it. And since your Catholic, HAPPY EASTER!!!! I love Easter. It's such a happy holiday. So yeah. Do you want to be buddies?

You've probably already read my post up there, but I'm Shani-Marie and I'm 18. I'm more than happy to fill your writing buddy criteria, if you'll have me, so long as you don't mind talking to someone a little older than yourself.
