World of Warcraft Nanowrimo Procrastinator Guild on Misha (Alliance) http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/virtual-worlds/threads/12820 jander Yep. Still going... I've been keeping it alive by the skin of my teeth, often being the only one online for months on end. But it's still there. Malveka helped me to get it to level 2, Dragonea to level 3, Graedis (sp?) to level 4. Chek and Graedis are back. I got an in-game mail from Traveller but haven't seen him online. So just three of us right now. The purpose of the guild is social, to provide a way for WoW players to procrastinate from Nanowrimo for short periods with others who will be willing to support you to get back to your writing. We have even been known to have Word Wars and Writing Challenges! :`) The guild was originally set up by Teacake (so blame her for it being Alliance! lol) Then the torch was passed to Dragonea. I inherited it from her and now I can't remember how long I've been Guild Leader. But then my horrible memory is epic. I'm sure Teacake or Dragonea, both of whom have younger brains than mine, will be able to tell you. Anyone away for more than a year has been removed from the guild due to potential hacked accounts, and of course would be welcomed back wholeheartedly at any time. Simply join the nanowrimo chat channel ( /join nanowrimo) and tell us your nano forum name. Or if you can remember anyone's names add them to your friend's list and if we are online whisper one of us to invite you. The previous note also goes out to anyone who would like to join us for the first time. Make a toon on Misha server, Alliance side, follow the instructions in the previous paragraph. Say hello here also, so that we know it is you asking for membership. Thanks, all. Best of luck with Nano this year and see you in WoW! ~ SJ (Sjaneila) --and all alts with names ending in "sjeia" eg, Besjeia Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:17:20 -0700 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/virtual-worlds/threads/12820?page=1#forum_thread_comment_250656 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/virtual-worlds/threads/12820?page=1#forum_thread_comment_250656 andywoho Great people, good guild, have lots of good memories of Misha and specifically, this guild.

Another year of NaNo, another year of wondering if little Eury the gnome warlock is going to get any playtime. She had a burst of playtime in late October and a bit a few weeks ago, and she's now actually level 26 instead of still languishing at 12 like she had the previous three years. Jander, as for the guild history, I was checking creation dates for all my WoW characters a few months ago, and Eury was started on 11/8/2007. I believe that's the year that the guild was first founded by teacake. I also think there are ways in game to check when a guild was founded, but it's been a few years since I was a guild leader so I don't remember them. If you're just going for when you took the reins, what was going on in game when you became the leader? Was Wrath out yet? What about the Argent Tournament? Random Dungeon Finder? Cata? If you want, I can give you a rough guess of when each was.

We are Nanowrimo Procrastinator - no s because we ran out of characters when the guild was first made, and it's pretty neat since our guild name looks like a fancy little label this way.

One of those was the Sunday after Wrath came out and I realized I'd gone three days without writing a thing and if I didn't get my butt in gear, my writing group would forever mock me for not winning because of a video game. I have a feeling I couldn't do a 5k day on a Wednesday when I don't get home from work until after 7.

Doing the two challenges in november (nano AND 30 Characters in 30 days) is taxing enough with out adding in weekend beta testing as well as moving out everything in the bedroom to make room for a new king size bed, assembling said bed, washing the new king sized pad and sheet sets etc., plus now having a massive allergy attack from all the dust disturbed by the cleaning.

Sometimes there is no one online, I'm usually on after I've done my writing/artwork for the day after 11pm Eastern time. But sometime by then I'm just too exhausted to go on and just go to bed.

Congratulations! :`D As for myself, this is the first year I have not won the race to 50k words. Sad, but not too devastating. Got almost 39k written. I still have my previous six wins to wave at anyone who thinks I'm a failure, and better yet, lots of the novel mapped out to write! I will finish it. Probably in January, 2012. I'm still pretty excited about it. Vacationing in the Blue Ridge Mountains area of N Carolina was exciting from the perspective of an artist, I got tons of reference photos, and did a couple of paintings while I was there. I also did a ton of stuff for 30Characters but for other reasons I decided to drop out of that. The biggest problem was that the longer we stayed, the worse my allergies got, and we stayed for three days longer than originally anticipated. Something in the hotel rooms we suspect --some cleaning fluid, or those softener things they throw in the dryers... Still recovering. The day we got back we logged into the SW:TOR beta, and had a wonderful time. I'm really looking forward to the early access in December. Ooh! This month! But before that I need to replenish my buffer for Aedre's Firefly, and get on with Christmas shopping! &lt;&gt; So, yeah. January. I'm really proud of you all! You done good!
