Hi all,
Okay, enough of the other regions have expressed interest in the war to make it viable, so this is the Official Sign-Up thread. If you want to join the Cambridge team this year, please read the rules posted here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/node/3318143 and then add a post to this thread, stating your intention to join. Sign-ups will close at 8pm on 10th November.
Needless to say, I'm in. :-)

I herby sing up for the word war. If I fail at this challenge, I give the Cambridge WriMos permission to duct-tape me to a chair and ridicule me with cream pies and other items.

Valerie - It is indeed, thanks. :-)
Snarfgirl - ooh ... I'm almost tempted to hope that you fail now (just to evil). Unfortunately as your ML I have to be positive and say 'Of course you're going to make it!' :-)

Hi all,
The deadline for dropping out without affecting our word count is 8pm on Friday (20th). If you decide to drop out please either reply here or PM me.
Anyone left in after this point will be in for the duration.
Thanks,

Arg! Curse Morecambe for its lack of easily available internet, and work for its lack of available free time to write! I meant to drop out but didn't realise the deadline was yesterday or I would have been drastic and done so by phone... Sorry chaps - I'll do my best with what little writing time I can eke but I think I'm gonna be the weak link here...
