So last year we tried doing a NaNo Raffle, and it failed miserably due to many factors, so this year we are going to try it again, but we are going to broaden it this year. Last year you could only get a ticket for donating to NaNoWriMo. This year you will still get a ticket for donating (as well as a nifty NaNo Halo!) but you will also get a ticket for participating and meeting your writing goals. The winner of the ticket will get an official NaNo Hoodie: https://store.lettersandlight.org/merchandise/nanowrimo-hoodie I don't even have a NaNo hoodie yet. I'm already jealous.
To get tickets:
-Donate to NaNoWriMo and once your Halo is showing up in your profile post below. https://store.lettersandlight.org/
-Meet your 10k, 25k, and 50k writing goals anytime during November. One ticket for 10k, one ticket for 25k, and three tickets for 50k!
-Come to a Write-In/Party/Event. For each Write-In or other official NaNo event you come to you will receive a ticket. This includes the Kickoff Party, the Night of Writing Dangerously, the TGIO Party, and any ML-sponsored Write-Ins (Mini Write-Ins don't count for tickets, sorry guys but I can't make it to them all)
Hopefully this will not only get people to donate, but it will also get people to come to the events and meet their writing goals!
Good luck!

Hey Becka, once we've donated, do we need to tell you via a post on the site in order to get another raffle ticket, or just tell you face to face? :D

Actually - you just did what you are supposed to do :) I've been perusing the threads looking for people with halos, but it is so much easier when everyone just posts in this thread so I can keep all the names together.
Thanks for donating! I'll put in a raffle ticket with your name on it!

YAY, thanks guys!
Sforzie, I'm sorry that you can't make it to any of the write-ins. If there is a good time for you to meet up, let me know and I'll try to get a write-in set up for that time (or at least a mini write in, if I can't make it)
Natalie - I'll throw another raffle ticket in there for you. I thought that's what probably happened ;)

Becka -- Still working toward my 25K, but I did get my halo today. Please put me down for another raffle ticket. (Got one for coming to the kickoff and should get another for 10K plus for my halo ... hope the prize is a new car.)
Back to (sigh) figuring out what my characters should do now. I'm reminded of Raymond Chandler's answer to this: "Every time I feel in trouble in my novel, I have someone come barging through the door with a gun in his hand."
I just did that -- turned out to be Mr. Ian Woon!
