These threads are always in every section on every single forum I've been to. Being a first year ML there are a lot of you I don't know (and a lot of new faces as well. I think there is something like 10 new people who have affiliated with our region since last NaNo), so here it is!

Name: Diana
Age (an approximation will work as well): 21
How Many years have you done NaNo: this will be my second attempt.
Which section of Nova Scotia are you from?(You don't have to put your town, just the area) I live in the Halifax area
Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? ...It'd be pretty bad if I wasn't considering I'm running a few of them

This section, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but we all like knowing more about each other

What Genre are you writing? Well, I'm pretty sure I'm writing a teen geek romance novel, but it could be an adventure. I haven't completely decided on that yet
Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? actually, I eat a lot of "finger" foods, so it's more often I'm using my hands, but when I do use utensils, generally I use a fork.
What's your favourite toothpaste? I like Colgate! And if I can get "weird" flavours (anything that isn't mint) I'm a happy camper
If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? I would probably then give it to someone else, as giving myself a dollar is weird. Unless I needed bus money, then I suppose that money would go into the money thing on the bus.
What's your favourite NaNo food? bagels. They are so easy and quick to make, plus they fill me up. That reminds me *Adds bagels to her shopping list*

Feel free to tell me/us anything else! Here's to a great November for all of us!

What genre are you writing?: I'm writing fanfiction, haha - my ridiculous, waffle-inspired Hikaru no Go/Kingdom Hearts crossover.
Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon?: More with a spoon now, since Jha converted me to eating rice with a spoon instead of a fork. XD

If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar?: Probably try and give it back to you, haha.
What's your favourite NaNo food?: Rice, or KD, or noodles. Also anything I can eat slow that won't end up going gross from being out - dry cereal out of the box, crackers, etc.

Age : Thirty something

How Many years have you done NaNo: My second year - I won last year, first attempt too :) :)

Which section of Nova Scotia are you from? Up in Fall River :)

Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? Definitely this year, didn't last year as I chickened out but I AM coming along this year :)

What Genre are you writing? Hmmmm....not sure, still deciding, either erotic fantasy or chick lit !!!!!

Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? Fork

What's your favourite toothpaste? The one I use every morning which name escapes me at the moment which is shameful but then again I am barely coherent and focusing in the morning so could well be using my kids stuff without realising

If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? I'd put it in our 'We're saving to go to Disneyland' plastic pig money box as the kids will eventually find the dollar in my wallet...steal it....and put it in there anyway

What's your favourite NaNo food? Anything, just anything chocolate...but no wrappers.....and nothing crumbly......or too soft and sticky.....but definitely chocolate

How many years have you done NaNo? This will be my first.
which section of NS are you from? Liverpool
are you planning on coming to the events and write-ins for your area? If there are any.

what genre are you writing? Is post-apocalyptic fantasy a genre yet? :D
do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? The spoon, but simply because I live off of coffee and need to stir in my two spoonfuls of sugar and waytoomuch of milk. Forks are far more elegant a utensil.

if I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? Save it for a rainy day. Or buy lip balm.

I'm slightly OCD about forms, in case you can't tell. =X

Name: Abby
Age: 18 as of November 8th -- I have a NaNo birthday. xD
Newbie or veteran: My second year. I barely scraped by, but I won last year. Here's to hoping for another win!
Location: Technically not from around here, but I'm in Halifax for the school year. =]
Event attendance: Definitely! I have a friend who's encouraging me to. xD
Genre: Gooood question. Uhh. I usually write fantasy... or sci fi... or realistic fiction... often based in an Asian environment, and often involving yaoi smut. xD
Fork or spoon? Best of both worlds -- a spork. I don't have one, but I WANT ONE. =[
Favourite toothpaste? I actually don't notice much. >.> Crest, I think?
If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? Spend it on chocolate. Oh yes, my addiction that's second only to my popcorn addiction. <3
What's your favourite NaNo food? Anything I can manage to tear myself away long enough to get. Popcorn has the horrible habit of making my keys greasy and stopping me from typing, but since I'm addicted, I can't just quit it for the month. =[

Other Stuff:
I'm a full-time student, but I also write freelance for money whenever I get time and motivation. xD My major is Asian Studies, with a possible minor in Psychology or English. And maybe a TESL certificate. We'll see. xD

And I can't think of anything else and have to get back to studying for a midterm tomorrow, so I hope to see you all at events! =]

What Genre are you writing? High adventure. Or something.

Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? I use both.

What's your favourite toothpaste? Colgate, vanilla flavour.

If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? If you're giving me a loonie, it goes into my pouch for laundry. If it's all small change, it goes into a bottle I keep called my Grad School Fund.

What's your favourite NaNo food? Pizza. Crazy bread from Little Caesar's.

How Many years have you done NaNo: Third year and I am not ashamed to say that I totally s*#! the bed last year. Also, the year before that. This year I intend to accomplish something substantial - I've been preparing all year and November works perfectly for me!
Which section of Nova Scotia are you from? Born and raised in beautiful rural Western Cape Breton. Live in North End Hali.
Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? I might do that... I'm a bit shy... Okay, I'm not shy, but I might feel a bit awkward but I think I'd like to come but I won't know for sure till it happens one way or another. Jeez, back off already, at least offer to buy me coffee first!

What Genre are you writing? It's a bit of a coming of age/small town chronicle/mystery-suspense thang (oh yeah and there's an awesome dog that has an awesome occasional P.O.V presence, just cause he's so awesome and all.
Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? Fork please. Spoons gross me out because when I was younger (like till 3 years ago) I was revolted by soup. Now I like it and even eat it with a spoon cause you have to, but forks are a definite default. Although I do use chopsticks where relevant and if I was Asian I might be offended that they weren't an option here.
What's your favourite toothpaste? Toothpaste? Ummm, explain?
If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? 100 swedish berries, bitch. Wait, are swedish berries still a penny?
What's your favourite NaNo food? I have a new favourite food - and I'm totally into food so this is something that I'm going out on a limb and calling something my favourite - the Halifax Farmer's Market has a table (near Mary's Bread Basket) where immigrant ladies sell food, and there are these spicy beef empanadas that I swear to god I would kill a bunny for (relax, it's just an expression - bunnies are delicious and all, but I'm not about to go killing them) but dayum these empanadas are good. So there will be a supply in the fridge that I will replenish every Saturday (and which will last until noon the same day at which point I'll switch to Pizza Pops, diet Coke, and Au Gratin chips)

How Many years have you done NaNo: This is my third try. No wins, yet. This year, I'm hoping to not give up partway through the month.
Which section of Nova Scotia are you from? I'm currently living in Antigonish.
Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? Yep! As many as my work schedule will allow.

What Genre are you writing? Genre? I have no plot, no characters, and no sweet clue what I'm going to be writing, yet. Figuring out what genre it is is the least of my worries.
Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? Spoon, definitely. If I could live off coffee and Shreddies for the whole month, I'd do it.
What's your favourite toothpaste? Whatever's cheap.
If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? How much coffee can you get with a dollar?
What's your favourite NaNo food? Coffee. Definitely coffee. Then again, I like coffee even when it's not November.

How Many years have you done NaNo: my aging memory fails me -- suffice it to say, many times, but never to the golden 50K...
Which section of Nova Scotia are you from? Bedford
Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? Definitely

What Genre are you writing? non-fiction novel -- I'll plot it the weekend of October 16, although I don't think I'll be able to make it to the Paper Chase for the session, because I have to be in Antigonish to give a paper at the Spanish Conference at StFX.
Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? My experience has shown over the years that more can be piled on a spoon than a fork...
What's your favourite toothpaste? The CHEAPEST one...
If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? Well, I suppose I'd try to make a grab for BOTH of them...
What's your favourite NaNo food? SHORTBREAD

Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? We don't have an official ML (We have a person who wants to but was too late to sign up), but a friend who helped con me into this is going to try and get some events going.

This section, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but we all like knowing more about each other

What Genre are you writing? Sort of a mix between serious real-life fiction, and pure fantasy. The story will be kind of flip flopping between the two.

What's your favourite toothpaste? Colgate I guess, Arm and Hammer is pretty good too.

How Many years have you done NaNo: I've written alongside nano for about four years now. I had an account last year, but it was a nightmare keeping up with my wonky internet.
Which section of Nova Scotia are you from? I'm currently living in Truro (Hooray for small-town life!) but my husband is from Dartmouth.
Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? I'll end up crashing the Halifax events, for sure. ;)

What Genre are you writing? I preffer fantasy situations with teens (I generally aim for young-teens), but I think this year, I'm going to try to aim for Adults. (nothing Harleqin-rated.)
Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? I'm a fork-er.
What's your favourite toothpaste? Whatever happens to be on sale. Really though, I think I usually get Colgate Whitening stuff.
If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? It would probably end up in my daughters Hello Kitty Bank.
What's your favourite NaNo food? Chocolate covered raisins, Coke (ESPECIALLY about midway!) and rice-cakes (cheddar plz!)

This will be my first year attending any NaNo events. I'm hoping I can attend most of them-- Although it tends to be difficult when I don't really have anyone to watch my little girl. XD

How Many years have you done NaNo: I've written alongside nano for about four years now. I had an account last year, but it was a nightmare keeping up with my wonky internet.
Which section of Nova Scotia are you from? I'm currently living in Truro (Hooray for small-town life!) but my husband is from Dartmouth.
Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? I'll end up crashing the Halifax events, for sure. ;)

What Genre are you writing? I preffer fantasy situations with teens (I generally aim for young-teens), but I think this year, I'm going to try to aim for Adults. (nothing Harleqin-rated.)
Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? I'm a fork-er.
What's your favourite toothpaste? Whatever happens to be on sale. Really though, I think I usually get Colgate Whitening stuff.
If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? It would probably end up in my daughters Hello Kitty Bank.
What's your favourite NaNo food? Chocolate covered raisins, Coke (ESPECIALLY about midway!) and rice-cakes (cheddar plz!)

This will be my first year attending any NaNo events. I'm hoping I can attend most of them-- Although it tends to be difficult when I don't really have anyone to watch my little girl. XD

Lookout for the fat lady with the two year old on her hip! She's brain-challenged!


There may also be some unofficial events being held in Truro, most likely at the NSCC, so keep an eye on the forums! We don't have an ML because the person who wanted to sign up to be one was too late :P, still he's planning on holding events despite not having the title.

Ahhh, Well- I'll definately keep an eye out for the Truro events, then! I'm alright with going to either/or. (but let's face it, it's always nice not to make an hour long drive alone!) :) Thanks for the heads up, Jeremy!

Name: Bethany but I go by Beth or Bee.
Age (an approximation will work as well): Eighteen
How Many years have you done NaNo: This will be my second attempt.
Which section of Nova Scotia are you from?(You don't have to put your town, just the area) Halifax.
Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? I want to. I am going to try.

What Genre are you writing? Well I suppose it is an adventure. I am sure there will be some romance in it, but focuses more on adventure.
Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? Probably with a fork, but I like spoons better.
What's your favourite toothpaste? I am not sure. Whatever is in the house is good, as long as it doesn't taste wonky.
If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? Uhm. Well I think I would use it to go towards a chocolate bar. I like chocolate bars :D
What's your favourite NaNo food? Chocolate. I love chocolate.

How Many years have you done NaNo: I'm pretty sure the first year I tried I was 13... I've only won once. sadly.
Which section of Nova Scotia are you from?(You don't have to put your town, just the area) Halifax
Are you planning on coming to the events and write ins for your area? yes. definitely. I miss them.

This section, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but we all like knowing more about each other

What Genre are you writing? I'm juggling a few ideas right now. They're all sort of fantasy, and one is about elephants.
Do you eat more with a fork, or a spoon? ... how much time I'm spending thinking about this is really proof of what a procrastinator I am. a fork, I'd guess.
What's your favourite toothpaste? it's blue and sparkly.
If I gave you a dollar, what would you do with this dollar? Every cent I get should go towards school, but I'd probably spend it on books.
What's your favourite NaNo food? pasta. I can usually convince someone else to make it for me.

Other stuff: Every single year- WITHOUT FAIL- I discover I'm no longer using the email I was last year and I have no idea what my password was. Oh hey, look, it happened again. In fact, I made a new one last WEEK, and I have no idea which email I used. I managed to find passwords for THREE old accounts, but decided to just go new again and actually use my name so maybe some one would remember me. Anyway, I used my university email, so I should manage to keep this for at least a few years. Sorry for whatever confusion this causes- though, I think the confusion is mostly on my part...

Other non-stupid stuff: I've really missed this group, I can't wait to see you guys this weekend!!! I'm sure there's still some people around that I remember.
