I wanted to comment on the "with LiveJournals" thread, but I decided that since that mine only has one post, I check my flist about once a week, and hardly do anything else with it, I'd be better off making another thread for us IJers. :P (*shamelessly steals the format saint_savin used*)
IJ Name: inoru_no_hoshi
Flocked or public: Public, for the most part. But I <3 friends.
I Am A/An [Pick One Term] Person: Insane.
I Like IJ Friends...: Who are quirky, friendly, prolific, interesting, and many other adjectives. (I'm serious.)
Previous NaNos: 2004: Spectacular failure. I don't think I even titled it. Was supposed to be Fantasy.. with maybe some erotica added. I forget.
2006: Failed at ~10,800/50,000. Can't remember what I titled it (it's on an old laptop). Fantasy/romance. Ish.
2007: Won with 50,233/50,000. The Hole in the World. Genre? Uhm. Crack that encompassed sci-fi, fantasy, romance, erotica, humour... But mostly crack. :D
This Year's NaNo: Title undecided (final choice pending more plot development). Fantasy, with possible romance and/or erotica. (And if my muse wins the battle, will also be attempting a "25K word or til the end, whichever comes first" Sailor Moon fanfic. WHY DO THIS TO ME?!)
Age Range: Any. But be aware that I write, draw, and ramble about a LOT of not-for-kiddies stuff.
Interests Besides Writing: Fandom (specifically Harry Potter, but I dabble in others, too), slash fiction, crochet, drawing, books, BDSM/D/s, fanfiction, archaeology, linguistics, funny stuff, PUNS... (*will become curious about things at the drop of a hat*)
Journal Contents: Lots of rambling about fandom, fests, real life, myself, posts that don't have a point, fanfiction, fanart, squeeage, kinky stuff. But mostly random, whatever-it-strikes-me-to-say stuff.
Other: I swear. A lot. And I am NOT responsible if you dislike something you see/read, or if you see something you're not legally old enough to. Browsers have back buttons for a reason. Incidentally, people have brains for a reason. I also get randomly snarky. And mood swings. I <3 comments.
Let's shut up before this becomes a full bio, shall we? (<--randomly speaks in third person or Royal plurals. xD)
----------
NaNo'04: {Title lost} Fail.
NaNo'06: Dreamspinner - Fail.
NaNo'07: The Hole in the World - Win. :D
Screnzy!08: {untitled} Fail.
NaNo'08: The Silver Stone - Win!
Screnzy!09: TBA

----------Flocked or public: Public
I Am A/An [Pick One Term] Person: Nutty as a Fruit Bat.
I Like IJ Friends...: Who have something to say, even when it's nothing at all. Opinions are welcome with open arms as are lurkers.
Previous NaNos: 2007 - Won with 50,044. Many Paths Entwined. Urban Fantasy, I think.
This Year's NaNo: No title as of yet, but it deals with a race of people descended from the Fae and are mostly human. Mostly.
Age Range: All, but if you're sensitive to swearing, you have been warned.
Interests Besides Writing: Reading books, listening to music, drawing, movies, NCIS, Wicca.
Journal Contents: Everything from my life to when I'm trying to write a Romance novel in my spare time. I've got it half done.
Other: I'm liable to not post in my journal for days to weeks at a time if I get bogged down in life; but, when I do, you'll get a good laugh at least.
Intelligence isn't about how smart you are, or what you know. It's about knowing when to use what you know.

Many Paths Entwined (2007 - Winner)
Personal Wasteland (2008 - Winner)

----------Flocked or Public: public
I am a/an [pick one term] person: ...diverse.
I like IJ friends...: Who aren't afraid to be in-your-face honest, can hold a discussion, and share some similar intrests with me. Please don't try to convert me to anything.
Previous Nanos: '07 failed miserably. Barely over the 10k mark. T-T
This Year's Nano: I'm pretty sure it's going to be adventure/scifi with a slight romantic element and involve ethnic/secular Jews.
Age Range: anyone
Interests beside Writing: fanfiction, reading, greek/russian/japanese, anime/manga that isn't yuri or hentai (yaoi is fine), debate, science, random history, going to plays, cello/piano,
Journal Content: Mostly fanfiction (specifically Prince of Tennis and Charmed) and a couple of other things I thought up myself.
Other: My writing is crap compared to 95% of people in Nano. My plot is loose and crappy and childish. I know. And I would love it if one more person points out exactly why my writing is crappy. ;-)

IJ Name: before_idie
----------Flocked or public: Flocked.
I Am A/An [Pick One Term] Person: Eccentric.
I Like IJ Friends...: Who are open, friendly, honest, and quirky.
Previous NaNos:
'05 - Failure at around 10,000 words.
'06 - Failure at around 25,000 words.
'07 - Was just made completely of epic fail. Finals really got in the way.
This Year's NaNo: Titled "Nocturne," an Other Genres story that has vampires...and hunters...and maybe even other crazy made-up creatures like succubi, incubi, werewolves....
Age Range: Any, but I have a tendency to write about not-so-appropriate topics...for children, that is. I consider it entirely appropriate.o.O
Interests Besides Writing: Reading, consuming large amounts of caffeine in the form of Pepsi, drawing, painting, being sarcastic (caustic, dry, and just plain mean), video games, the national forensics league, music, comics, soccer, etc. . .
Journal Contents: Mostly just stuff about my writings. There's a lot of swearing. Really. Rants about the psychological states of my characters or other such things. Lot's of questions that have never been answered too. I ask more questions than I have answers for, it's rather upsetting.
Other: I also have a tendency to go long periods of time without posting. I think my longest dry spell so far has been a month, but, trust me, that won't be happening this October and November.

Name: 3timewidow
Flocked or public: Public.
I Am A/An [Pick One Term] Person: Insane, with papers to prove it.
I Like IJ Friends...: Who are interesting, intelligent, insane, and many other adjectives that start with the letter i.
Previous NaNos: nope
This Year's NaNo: Title undecided (final choice pending more plot development). Romance, with possible fantasy and/or erotica, or fantasy, with possible romance and/or erotica. Does that make any sense at all?
Age Range: Recommended for mature audiences due to violence, nudity, foul language, sexual situations, etc.
Interests Besides Writing: Harry Potter, Vampires, Witches, Magick, Sex, Recovery, Addictions, and much more sick stuff.
Journal Contents: Lots of insane ramblings from a three-time widow. Yes, three. Lost the husbands and my mind. Mainly whatever I feel like writing about or what type of insanity is going on in my life at the moment. Some days it's just a place for me to b*%@^h when I have no one here who will listen to my crap.
Other: I swear, proficiently and often. Can't help it, daddy was a sailor. (I'm serious!) And if you don't like what you see, the back-up button is in the upper left hand corner, and the run-for-your-life button is in the upper right hand corner. Pick one if you need to. Don't just sit there and keep reading and telling yourself how sick and insane I am. I know. But remember, some are sicker than others, so beware!

IJ Name: Babydraco
Flocked or public: Everything is public except entries involving stories about my family or other people I know in RL.
I Am A/An [Pick One Term] Person: Opinionated
I Like IJ Friends...: Who mostly share my interests and actually want to talk to me. I'd prefer not to get in fights with people or even terribly strong debates but I do want people who want to talk.
Previous NaNos: I've done it for like five or six years in a row and never, ever finish. The closest I came was last year was a Harry Potter fan fic at about 30,000 words.
This Year's NaNo: Miserable failure so far.
Age Range: I don't care as long as we can have a grownup conversation. It's not my problem if you're reading something you shouldn't be reading, I usually say "more power to you".
Journal Contents: Narnia, Harry Potter and Gemma Doyle meta, the occasional fic in those fandoms, some opinions on race, liberal politics and liberal Christo-paganism, musings on Americana (i'm a big history buff) and life in New England

I Am A/An [Pick One Term]: ... misanthrope?
I Like IJ Friends...: Yes. I do. :p
I'm pretty new to IJ, actually, and I have a broad range of interests... I'm not generally into fanfiction, although if the story seems interesting, I might enjoy it. Sometimes.
Previous NaNos: Failed miserably in 2006, failed only slightly less miserably in 2007, won this year! Woot! Err. Not that it's any good. :p
This Year's NaNo: See the above.
Age Range: Eh. Occasionally I feel the need to offend or shock or whatever, because sometimes that just amuses me. And use naughty words. Basically, people who are old enough to see the fun in life and that not everything has to be offending.
Journal Contents: Fiction, shortstories, drabbles, rants, whines, whatever comes to mind. Maybe excerpts from this year's NaNo once I start editing it, or from last year's, since I plan on continueing that one.
