Please copy and paste from where it says "Attending" and include the numbers, and add your name to the last blank number.
See you guys on Thursday.
Oh, I took the liberty of putting the venue at Starbucks AmCorp Mall (eaglewing's original suggestion was either AmCorp Mall or KLCC) cuz that was where we had our kick-off party in 2004, the one that led to publicity in The Star, etc. Hope y'all don't mind.
Now, get back to nano-ing!

Thanks for the post, Chet!
What to bring: Yourselves! :D No need laptop etc. etc. We're here to talk about NaNo mah but I know Chet will bring her trusty Alphasmart along. ;)
:p If you're expecting NaNo premiums etc etc those might be late. Seeing as I signed up as ML last minute - because I found out Malaysia didn't have one! Quelle horreur!
The first lucky (or unlucky) six to arrive will receive a random LOTR postcard. You might end up with Gollum, Aragorn, Legolas, The Hobbits or a slightly dented Gandalf. New Zealand Post limited edition postcard, don't play-play. No, you don't get to choose.
Call it bribery but hey. I don't want to be there at 10.30 looking like a doofus all alone. Kapeesh?
@Chet: No such thing as leftover goodie bags because I wasn't ML last year. Muahahaha.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!

I am laughing so hard tears are falling from my eyes.
We're playing a game where everybody adds plot twists to everybody else's story, round robin.
The results were so funny I should put them up on my blog.

My plot, in full:
The paladin Lorien goes on a mission of mercy and picks up interesting traveling companions.
(This is my original plot summary. Everyone then added a plot twist, as follows.)
Space ninjas appear.
Pet Pirates chase after them for the holy artefact.
The artefact turns out to be a diamond.
The diamond started speaking and tried to make her believe that she's a fallen star and that she must be returned to the sky or the world will end.
And they all left the theatre after watching Stardust.
And were assaulted by space ninjas.
Who attack to the accompaniment of the dreaded 'Numa Numa' song.
See what kind of fun you were missing out on? o.O

And mine :
Original plot :
Shayna, a broken hearted gal searches for true love and finds herself in the middle of some good vs evil plot and shomehow somewhere there's a talking dog named Charlie .
Add ons:
But Charlie is in fact Shayna's father, trapped in time in a different body!
Pirates are involved.
Singing and dancing pirates at that. Near the climax, there exists the revelation of the pirate conspiracy to end the universe.
Armageddon happens.
And MC turns into Shai -Huled
Charlie dies.
* the meet up was awesome. Had great fun. =b
