If you count yourself as to be living in the Halifax Regional Municipality, please check into this thread! (Yes, it's necessary, especially if you want to come out to events, since I like to know how many people to expect!)
Frazzledog will be covering the Dark Side, and I will be covering the, uh, boring-er side, I guess, of Halifax.
We will have meetups, as usual, at the Paperchase Cafe in downtown Halifax, and as a bonus, also at the Alderney Gate Library! There may also be random meetups elsewhere. We will be making some of it up as we go along.
However! Some of the events have already been planned! Presenting, our official HaNoWriMoNS calendar! Do check it out, since we've already booked the room at Alderney Gate and the proprietress of Paperchase expects us to trudge in and take over the cafe. And as if we couldn't give you enough avenues for info, do also check us out on Twitter!
So, HRM! WHO'S IN???

I suppose I really don't have to but
I'M IN XD
The events at the Alderny Library are from 5-9 on Wednesdays (Except Remembrance Day, where I'll be doing a write in at Paperchase!) On the 4th, and the 18th, we have a room that can hold about 20 people. However, on the 25th, and the 30th (for our mass validation) we have a room that can hold up to 100!!!! people. It's going to be great fun!

Katie here and I'm in!
I love you all for having some in Dartmouth.
Also random, I work as a clerk at the Alderney Gate library! I guess I'll be spending even more time there now. :D

*crosses fingers that this year will be better*
Of course, this year I'm writing my MA thesis, but I'm not working, so maybe it'll balance out to something more than 1500 words? :)

My first year as a not-student in Halifax, so instead of Midterms and Term Papers month, I can finally participate in NaNoWriMo! Huzzah! Looking forward to good times at the Paperchase.

Well, technically, I'm in Truro, which isn't HRM- but I'm in Halifax nearly every week, anyway, so it's honestly just easier to go there!
Count me in, please!

I'd like to go to some of the write-ins, but I have what might seem a trivial question to ask first: could someone who has attended these events in years past tell me what the age-range is? Because if I'm the only near-forty year old in a room full of 20-somethings... well, that's just weird for everyone.

Pernicious is 50-odd. A few others are also in the 30 - 40 age range.
And we've had teens and 20-somethings with a sole 40 or 50 year old. It's not weird for everyone. I'd say it's actually quite useful for us.

I was feeling kind of 'old' too -- so many 20+ folks! Maybe we should have a group for 'late bloomers' ? :-)

Hey there! Great that we have new people joining! Since you are in Cole Harbour, I have to ask. Did you see any NaNo flyers around? I posted a bunch, but apparently no one who's joined yet has seen it. ----------

Boo. I am Val. I am awesome. And I'm here - again.
I have no plot yet, but y'know. That's secondary.
(Jha, maybe you'll remember my name this time :P).
