Fantasy Writing Buddies

So that we don't clutter up the forum with dozens of writing buddy requests, here's a single, consolidated thread to post your requests!

Note: Please don't post excerpts in this thread. That's what your profile is for; pepole can just click on your name in the forums to see if they're interested

Yes, please.

Sure thing. I'm writing high fantasy this year with a hefty helping of power play, politics, palaeontology, and polyamory. I'm also working on a massive worldbuilding experiment on the side, because I am a masochist and I can't content myself with one project at a time. Anything else is in my profile; send me a message if you want to buddy up.

I'm looking for a writing buddy who wouldn't mind generally helping with my novel, since I have no real life buddies who'd be interested enough to talk about my novel. I'd like a person to talk with, to bounce ideas off of and let of steam when needed.
I'll very gladly help with your novel in return : )

I'm always up for new writing buddies!

This will be my second year to participate; in 2007, I crossed the finish line at just over 56k and finally have the chance to participate again. I'm still not quite sure what I'm going to be writing this year. I have three ideas that are in development stages, all of them fantasy with two of them containing some form of time travel. Feel free to add me - I credit my buddies last time with being one of the biggest factors in my win.

I'd love to have a writing buddy! My story is some sort of taboo romance fantasy with action and a possibility of divine magic/reincarnation. Not sure about that yet because I haven't figured out how it would fit in my novel's progression. Basically looking for someone to help me keep my story making sense, someone who I can exchange ideas and discuss characters and events with, and hopefully I can provide the same type of help I'd be receiving. =) Send a NaNo message my way if you're interested! =)

*does the Be-My-Buddy dance*

I'm new to NaNo, but have been watching it for the last couple of years, waiting for a chance when I'm not too busy to join in. So - finally - I'm here, armed with plot, characters that will inevitably refuse to behave, and a brain that fizzes when I poke it too hard. All I need is mah buds, to see me through this venture.

If anyone wants to take an interest, I promise to celebrate, commiserate and cooperate through the good times and bad. I hope to find people who can do the same.

*hobbles off, having dislocated something fairly vital* That damned dance...

I'm another person who loves having new buddies... though I'm not the most talkative of people. Also my story ideas can be a bit random so.... yeah.

Oh... the old stuff all went away!
In with the new, then. I am writing a "traditional" fantasy but with a few twists, I hope. Female, non-Chosen One protagonist whose only quest is figuring out her place in the world. I have never done this before, nor have I ever put myself out there as a writer, though I have meant to for a very long time. The first 50k will be a very, very rough draft. I'm just hoping i can shut my inner critic up and get on with it.
I must find my other buddies, had a few before the reset....but I would like more. We can have slumber parties and braid our hair and tell ghost stories and drink martinis. Not necessarily in that order.
Love to hear from ya!

Writing buddies are great! I will probably have plenty "pick the best option" questions by November once my plot starts becoming real! I'm not even sure how many traditional fantasy elements are going into my story, but I was it to be the underrated ones. And deciding which things are underrated can be tricky, so I will be asking about that probably.

Heya! This is my first time doing NaNo since starting college. I generally write fantasy, usually along with some weird surreal elements. I also like historical fantasy, science fantasy, erotic fantasy, high fantasy, low fantasy, middle fantasy, top-of-the-shelf fantasy, satiric fantasy, cold fantasy, hot fantasy, and humorous fantasy.

I'm usually pretty chill about writing during NaNo, since I can usually count on a seasonal writing addiction to push me into churning out a few thousand words every day or two. (And now I have to wonder if Seasonal Writing Addiction is a real thing, haha.)

Anyway, feel free to message me if you're interested!

Hi all Fantasy Writers!

Sooo here I am, a fantasy writer. This is my 3rd year doing NaNoWriMo but this is the first year I'm really getting into the social aspect of it all. I'm not particularly a "high" fantasy writer, more "middle" fantasy (think Graceling or the Ranger Apprentice series) but I am willing to have a buddy who writes any type of fantasy. I am a stickler for correct spelling and grammar and I would like it if my buddy was the same. I am serious about writing---I am finishing up a book and in the process of getting it published---and I would like my buddy to be the same, to be competitive and really serious about writing but be understanding when life gets in the way.

The reason I want a buddy is because I'd like someone who I can get honest critique/feedback from, be inspired by what they're writing, and challenged when they write more words than I do.

An excerpt of my book is not on my profile (because I'm kind of paranoid when it comes to stuff like that) but if you're interested please send some NaNoMail my way. I would love to write with you.

I'd love to have a writing buddy or two.
I'm a notorious editor! Someone be my rock and put duct tape over my backspace key!

My story is basically a fantastical crusade/holy war that gets interesting when the gods themselves intervene and say " okay kids, you are being very naughty, cut it out or there will be serious consequences."
And then nobody listens.
The settings are rather like the American South in the Antebellum (pre-civil-war) era, leading a crusade into a place similar to British-occupied India, but with totally different governmental structures, and religions.
I'm a big sociology nerd.
Also I have limited internet, i check the forums once a day when i can, so if you want to be my buddy, could you please nanomail me?
Yaaaaay! WRITING BUDDIES!

It's always good to have a few more writing buddies.

This year's Nano is my third. I won the last two, so hopefully I can manage another. This year, I'm going with a modern fantasy set in my university, where I am in my first year. It's mostly about stuff that's not really typical for fantasy (no saving the world from an evil wizard or any of that kind of stuff). No, it's more about leaving home for the first time and growing up and stuff like that, but with magic and elves and werewolves thrown in for good measure. (The elves and werewolves and things are, as it happens, also perfectly normal people who are going through the same problems, or similar.) It's not going to be too serious, but also isn't a comic fantasy. I'm not really sure how to describe it (hence why there's only one sentence of description on my profile).

So, yeah. If you want to be my buddy, Nanomail me. I'll try to reply as quickly as I can, and am usually here at least once a day.

My bad. Didn't realize I threaded that. Crazy new layout. :D

Hi! This is my second year of NaNo, after just scraping through last year after a couple of furious writing nights :P This year I know more about it, and what an undertaking it is!
I'm planning to write an urban fantasy novel set primarily on another world 'connected' to Earth ^.^
My IRL writing buddies and I have all gone to different uni's, so I'm looking for a writing buddy who...wait... no I'm just looking for a writing buddy full stop! I'm always happy to chat, so get in touch! :D

Hello everyone!

Buddies would be very welcome. I did NaNo for the first time last year and "won". This year I'd aiming for at least a cohersive first draft of part two of a planned trilogy inspired by the Exodus story in the Bible. You can find out a bit more on my page :)

Note: I will be away (without internet connection) for november 5-13, so if it's very important to you to have daily contact I'm not for you .....

Evenin'.

Fifth year NaNoer, always on the lookout for buddies. I tend to write what I can only really describe as 'weird fantasy', but I love pretty much all genre fiction, so drop me a line if you feel like it. I'm actually considering writing two NaNo's this year, so a buddy I can compete with sounds like fun. :)

Good day, fellow fantasy-author-people.

I write fantasy and I like buddies. This year I'm doing something that starts in the modern world and ends up in a fantasy world. Other than that, I don't know much.

I never know anything before I write. If you also start of with a vague idea, you're probably a lot like me!

It's my third year in NaNo... and I didn't write fantasy all three years. Le gasp! Last year it was SciFi.
