I figured I'd make this topic since there are so many of us that are doing NaNo. There was a thread over at the community that got a lot of responses, and I figured it would be easier if we had a place to gather around for NaNo. Even if you're not writing a KakaIru fic, or even a Naruto fic, this is the place for folks from the KakaIru Live Journal Community! Hang out and share success stories, frustrations, encouragement, etc!
Anyways, I'm "mdchan" over at LJ, and in the community...Mystic Dragon, here. I'm not doing a Kaka/Iru fic for this year's NaNo; rather, a mystery. I have a few cases for it outlined, and recently finished writing one of them. Hopefully, I can continue to keep pace through the month to hit 50k.
Let's give it our best!

Vesca is here! And also brings a daily excerpt XD
“You’re here, you’re here, I can finally eat something other than these damned cattle bars.” The screen showed Genma leaning towards his own tiny screen to give it a big kiss. “I thought I was sending all of you boys on comfortable journeys towards freedom, but this shuttle is ridiculously cramped! I can’t even stand up straight to take a piss, when I get to take a piss since I’ve been on water rations for the last week. What took you so long?”
“Had to soak up some sunshine over near Selta 7. Heisui brought a cold along and we used up more power in the sick bay than I had originally planned for.” Buttons began to be pressed, and Iruka could hear his friend doing the same on his ship as they continued to talk.
And so I wish us all good luck! I'm practically a newbie this year. I entered a few years ago and did next to nothing. So this year I am ready to roll! May we have bunches of new and fun and hot KakaIru coming our way after this November XD

platedlizard reporting for duty. I'm the only platedlizard on the internets, makes me easy to recognize (also, stalk).
I'm essentially relearning how to type after switching to a Dvorak keyboard. Why I decided to do that a month before Nano I don't know. I'm now equally bad with QWERTY, lol.
Snippet of the day:
“Kakashi, what are you doing?” Rin asked. Ignoring her and jammed a kunai into the crack and levered up. To his not-very-great surprise a trap door opened.
A muffled moan came from the hole and a pair of eyes gleamed whitely up at him from the depths. The shaft was narrow, perhaps two feet by two feet square, and deep. Rin appeared at his elbow, shining a flashlight into the hole. The prisoner winched and ducked away from the light. In the flashlight's beam the only reason the man didn't look like a skeleton was because he was still alive. Kakashi smiled and gave him a little wave.
“Hi! Want to get out of there?” Beside him Rin hissed and jabbed hem with her elbow at his overly cheerful tone.
“Umino Iruka,”the man whispered so softly Kakashi had to strain to hear him, “chuunin, 287-46-8182, Konoha.”
Kakashi felt the hairs on the back of his neck prickle. Name, rank, serial number, village—the only information a captured nin was allowed to give to his captors. He recognized the name, Umino was one of eight shinobi currently considered MIA, and one of two currently missing in this area.
“Hakate Kakashi, jounin, Konoha,” he replied, keeping his tone light. “We're here to take you home.”

Yea!!! I'm not doing a KakaIru this year either, but I'll totally cheer on anyone who does! Including...
OMG platedlizard, that fic sounds so wonderful. And Rin is there! Is it an AU? I can't wait to read it when it's all done and edited! :D

I'm glad you like it! It's a canon-based AU. Rin gets ignored a lot, so I decided to give her some attention. She and Kakashi are close, but not romantically, she knows he's gay XD

It might help if you break it up into smaller chunks. The big 50,000 is pretty scary an even 1,666 seems pretty hard to type if you aren't used to that much writing. Instead try to aim for 100-200 words at a time, and up date your word totals frequently so you can see your progress.

Yo! Foreversin here. If any of you read Changing Tides. I'm that lazy good for nothing author. That reminds me I need to work on that this month as well.
I wont be doing any Kakairu for this contest instead I've decided to write a anthro story. It decided to yell at my mentally and my brain hurts plus I've already started writing it. Action Adventure/Romance/Drama and it's a HS Story. I'm hoping I can get it done by the end of this month and let everyone see it. Lets just hope college/other projects don't destroy my time too much.

Yo! Reporting for duty as I hail from the Kakairu comm. :3 Figured I'd give KakaIru a shot this year. Even if it's going to be cracktastic, it shall be all mine. -evil laugh- Anyway, LJ name is kageillusionz :3 Most of my fictions are posted over at my comm: kirigare... though the only thing remotely KakaIru is a quick one-shot... need to fix that soon =D
The neighbourhood is quiet for it is now some ungodly hour that only the ANBU crawl back home in hopes of upholding some semblance of their humanity that exists as just another part of themselves. They move with grace and their feet barely kicks up dust as the small team of four return home after a debriefing from their boss. They were covered in grime and dust and guts and all manners of questionable substances upon their person. Scattered throughout the village at the dead of night, each slips into their house and past all their safety wards into the comfort and solace that only a home could offer.
The uniform was peeled off his person and dumped unceremoniously onto the bathroom floor to join the rest of his bandages and ANBU uniform. Kakashi hissed as he stood under the warm water that sluiced over his tired muscles and barely healed wounds. The missions had been completed more or less without any major drama. His unit was quick and efficient as always and the only damage was a couple of cuts that would scar and bruises that would disappear within a day or two. It didn’t mean Kakashi didn’t take the effort to scrub each inch of his alabaster skin til his skin glowed pink.
He was still here. He was still human with his sanity more or less intact. And the sun would still be rising from the east in a few hours.
Can't wait to read more of everyone else's~ Shame my exams are on now =A= Can't work on this as actively as I'd like but I'll be writing furiously when they do. o/ Hope to see you later!

It was extremely useful to work in the communications department when you were Touji Mizuki, especially when high caliber transmissions were passing through your desk which had been altered by a few jump chips and some tiny wires. His credit account had been growing nicely these past years, and it was about to go even higher.
“I’ve heard the name you’ve mentioned,” he spoke and was heard by the small receiver under his jaw. “I will get back to you with details as soon as I see some credits shifted in to my account. I’ll assume you still have the details form our last… transaction.”
...
That smooth voice had once groaned for him; once moaned and whispered underneath him, but four years ago had decided that their comfortable relationship wasn’t enough, that he wanted to be more than a toy to someone who was courting a girl in engineering. That trickster had wagged his tail and stayed on his knees long enough to hook Mizuki and then released him like such trash, and no man of the Touji line would ever take that sort of treatment.
*laughs evilly* I know I'm sorta cliche on it, but hey.. Mizuki works for evil.
Keep up the great work everyone!

doofnana1, Vesca, very nice. I can't wait to read them when they're done.
There was a small stir as another group of chuunin joined them, squeezing in on the already packed couches. Automatically he surveyed them under the guise of reading his book. The three chuunins were in their late teens or early twenties, and—his eye halted at the sight of that familiar scar bisecting a face. It was a bit too dark and smoky to see details, but Umino, Iruka, looked a lot better. He was still a bit too thin, but it looked like he was regaining muscle, and he openly laughed when several shinobi pounced on him like cats with a shiny new toy.
“What the flying fuck did you do to you hair?” Genma said, pulling Iruka into head lock and scrubbing at his short, spiky hair.
“It was matted!” Iruka laughed, ducking and swatting his hand away, “Don't worry, I'm growing it out.”
“He's right!” Anko said from the other side, “You look so strange with it short. I know! We should buy you extensions!” She crooked her fingers and pounced.
Iruka paled and threw himself away from the mad women onto Genma's lap. Genma, looking pleased at having the chuunin in his grasp again, pinned him down for Anko to tickle. Iruka laughed helplessly until he choked.
“Hey! Don't be so rough with him!” one of the other chuunin who had come in with Iruka all but yelled. “He's still recovering!” Immediately Anko pulled away and Genma released him, looking a tad guilty.
“I'm fine, Mizuki,” Iruka said, smiling at the silver haired chuunin as he worked to get his breath back. And now it was obvious to everyone that he had nearly died not that long ago, he was out of breath and shaking. But he looked happy, so Kakashi didn't worry. Something inside him relaxed a bit, he always worried about his comrades and seeing Iruka on the way to recovery made him happy. You took care of your comrades and you never left a team member behind. That was his Will of Fire.
As an apology Anko grabbed a pitcher and poured Iruka a glass, but Mizuki intercepted it. “He's still on medication,” he said loudly, “No alcohol.”
Iruka looked at him oddly and snatched the glass back. “I can have a beer, it's not my liver that's fucked up.”
“But the medic-nin said...”
“Two months ago. I'm fine, Mizuki.”
“But Ru-kun--!”
“Shut up Mizuki,” said Iruka, his sweet tone belied by the dangerous glint in his eyes. “And don't fucking call me that. My body, my decision, and you don't have any right to it.”
“But--!”
“Just shut up.”

Everyone has been doing a great job. #_#
This is pixelx from ff.net and here's some of my snippets. Mind your eyes please. They are un-betaed, so expect some serious grammatical and spelling errors there. XD
A ray of sunlight pierced through his eyelids roused Kakashi from his sleep. With ninja training grained with his habit, He let his senses familiarize with his surrounding before opening his eyes. The smell of fresh cut grass invaded his nostrils, soft ground under his body. No life presence within the vicinity, and Kakashi dared himself to open his eye.
Ceiling beams welcomed his sight and further look out revealing him to be inside a small house. His clothes were changed and his mask- hand shot out to his bare face, feeling stubble on his chin. Panic set on the pit of his stomach, weapon less and immobile.
“Oh, you are awake.” A woman’s voice penetrated his thought.
“You were unconscious for three days, dear. We were beginning to worry.” A kind old woman entered through the front door bringing with her a basket full of vegetables and fruits. She left the basket at the front door and made her way towards the silver haired man intending to check on his conditions.
Kakashi tensed under the cover. He couldn't move under the blanket without help as his chakra depletion was still quite severe. “You're lucky Hoshi-kun found you before the wild animals did or it'll be trouble for you.” She knelt besides his bedding and poured a glass of water for Kakashi.
“Who are you?” Kakashi asked after a couple of sips for his perched throat.
The old lady tsked at his manners but answered regardless. “You can call me Miho baa-san, young young man. And this small hut is my humble home.”
Kakashi took in his surrounding once more, the hut was small a square 15mX15m. A door for entry and exit and only two windows held open by a stick placed on walls opposite to each other. At the centre was a shallow hole as a fireplace for some cooking. There was a large pot and the flame had already dimmed?
There wasn't any unnatural about the old woman next to him. Her chakra was of the civilians' and there wasn't any chakra presence surrounding him. Instinctively, the bed ridden man knew that the place was not a threat. Just a small village, with harmless civilians’ dwellings this must be farmer's village. Remembering his manner Kakashi introduced himself. “Hatake Kakashi of Konoha. Thank you for taking me in while I'm injured. But unfortunately I must continue my journey home.”

Everyone's doing so awesomely! :) My word count is starting to pick up, and with it, the ease of writing. It's becoming slightly less flat, yay. Kakashi-muse has finally decided to cooperate, thus making Iruka-muse even more happy. Yes. Well, I'll post a small excerpt now, but I intend on heavily editing this story after November. Also, everyone else's excerpts are putting mine to shame. You guys are really amazing! Remember that this is unbeta'd, and thus all kinds of pathetic. Hopefully it's somewhat intriguing. Any suggestions on how to make my narration less flat will win my eternal gratitude. Not to mention Iruka and Kakashi's, since it will mean I can write them better.
Remembrance of why they where there in the first place must have dawned on Kakashi, because he suddenly pulled the curtain shut to block out the rest of the restaurant. This didn't however, keep out their waiter.
“May I take your drink orders?” As soon as the thin man set eyes on Kakashi, his demeanor changed to one of knowing smugness. Not that he said anything, but the way he bit his lip and tried not to laugh was quite enough of a hint.
“Water,” Iruka replied icily, just short of outright glaring at the man, and felt wretched inside. Yes, he had known this sort of thing would happen, but he hadn't planned on being a captive audience at the time... Now he couldn't shake the feelings of guilt, despite what Kakashi had done to warrant the... creative retaliation. Some of his annoyed chakra leaked out, however, which caused Kakashi to raise a brow and note it for future reference.
“The same, please,” Kakashi said cheerfully, though his lone eye dared the waiter to make a comment on his so-called hideous features. He could tell that the man was trying to figure out how the horrible fish lips and buck teeth could remain so hidden under a practically skin tight mask. All this unwanted attention because of a few ridiculous pictures. It was just short of amusing. “And perhaps some sake for later.”
The waiter scurried away with a curt nod, glad to be free of Iruka's gaze and the temptation of laughing outright at Konoha's most feared ninja. Though that last bit was now debatable to everyone who had seen the infamous photograph.
“Sake?” Iruka quirked a brow in amusement. “I thought we were here to discuss the culprit.”
“Maa, sake helps me think,” Kakashi half lied. "Not that I can deny that I've always wanted to get you drunk.”
Iruka narrowed his eyes, debating whether or not to kick Kakashi under the table for that last comment, but his guilt at the whole situation overruled his mischievous side for once. “Well, I'm afraid you won't find out, since I'm not having any.” Kakashi's hidden pout, while ridiculously adorable and amusing, did nothing to change the chuunin's mind.
“Your loss, then,” the jounin shrugged casually. “Mostly. I guess I'll just have to get you drunk some other night.”
“Hah! You wish.”
Kakashi tilted his head and leered. “Do I?”
At this, Iruka went beet red, turning his head away quickly to avert his eyes and burning cheeks. Really, he hadn't known where that one had come from. He ought to be more careful; bad things happened when you were careless with the copy nin...
Feedback hugely appreciated! :)

He smiled brightly at the woman. “Well, ma'am, that certainly does sound like a very serious situation,” he said. He flipped through the logbook. From the looks of it Mizuki's team had been back from their previous mission for a little over a month, and if he knew Mizuki the chuunin would need a little motivation to get off his butt. An escort mission sounded just about right for him. He gave the price, and only another shinobi could catch the way Kakashi choked, and assured her that he would assign the best for such a 'dangerous' mission.
Poke.
The moment she left he spun and grabbed the offending hand. “Do that again and I'll break that finger off.” He tried to sound deathly serious, but that was rather hard to do while laughing.
“Maa.” In the last month Iruka had gotten good at reading his expressions under that mask, and he knew that Kakashi was smiling. He also wasn't pulling his hand away. “If you do that I won't be able to show you what else I can do with it,” he said, a tad huskily. Iruka's eyes widened and he pulled the man closer.
“Oh, so you think you can keep up with me?” he murmured.
Izumo cleared his throat loudly. “There are other people here, you know.”
Immediately Iruka dropped Kakashi's hand. “Sorry,” he said, rubbing his scar, suddenly embarrassed. Usually he was a hell of a lot more professional about work, but there was something about Kakashi that made him forget himself.
Izumo just shrugged. “Whatever. Just do me a favor and don't do that in front of clients or foreign nins.”
Iruka dropped into back into his chair. “What are you doing here, anyways?” he asked Kakashi.
“Maa, do I have to have a reason?”
Iruka just gave him a Look. Kakashi looked away and scratched the back of his neck. If Iruka didn't think the copy nin was incapable of it he would have to say he looked a bit nervous.
“You want to go out tonight?”
Iruka blinked, so he really was serious. “Sure. I'm off at five unless something comes up here.”
Kakashi brightened. “Great! I'll meet you here.”
Iruka nodded and was about to respond when Izumo interrupted again. “Guys, someone's coming.”

They were still going full tilt when the engine vibration changed and Heisui tried to move out form underneath Genma’s protective position. “We’re about to enter slipstream,” he whispered. “We’ll be able to move soon, but the ship won’t take to slipstream too well after the damage mister Mizuki did to it. Papa will be able to pilot us, but I don’t know how far we can go.”
Genma could already feel the vibrations smoothing out and waited to talk for a few seconds until the stretching and bending feeling of entering a successful stream had passed. “What do you mean, little bird?”
“We’re only at thirty-five percent capacity. That would have been enough to get us back to Selta 7 and its energy field, but we weren’t facing the proper direction. Papa will need me to navigate him to the closest exit.”
I skipped the last two nights, but have jumped back into shape and am planning on getting lots more out tomorrow.

Vesca, is that Space for a Generation you're working on? I'd love to see that updated!
Yesterday and today have been kinda blah days for writing, yesterday I couldn't write at ALL (mostly because I discovered Mushishi, and I'm a sucker for anime with good art). Today I'm catching up. Part of the problem is that I need to do some plot/character building for Itachi or my version of the Uchiha Massacre is going to seem like it was coming right out of no where, BUT I get stuck when I write those scenes (which does nothing for my word total). Right now I'm outlining the scenes I'm having problems with, which also doesn't help my word total very much, but at least moves the story along.
Kakashi and Iruka, fortunately, are giving me no such problems, and, in fact, are about to screw like bunnies.

@PLatedLizard: Yep Yep, Space is getting a massive rewrite thanks to some idea bouncing chats with Darkauroran and Saelani. It was seriously stalled, bt I loved it so much I didn't want to give up on it. unfortunately it is in the 'epic fic' level and so not an easy task to go up against, but I shoulder through the jungle of writing until I reach that lovely river of storyline that will carry my ending home.

The third time, Kakashi opened his eye again; there was a commotion outside of the house. He could hear voices of people talking loudly. Kakashi recognized two of them, the old couple. A more merry laughter and smooth voice of a young man and a couple of kids’ voices crossed the opened threshold. He could make out bits of the conversations. The male voice sounded excited and it didn’t even stop for a breath as it continued jumping from one topic to another.
Kakashi raised himself and picked up his given clothes to wear. The voices were getting closer meaning that they were coming in soon and Kakashi sat on the futon to greet them eager to meet the much talked about grandson, Hoshi and thanked him properly for saving his life.
Kakashi’s eye widened when he saw his ‘saviour’ entered through the door. His tan skin enveloping his fit body under his cargo pants and t-shirt, his dark brown hair was short and a bit spiky, his brown eyes was warm with a hidden curiosity of the pale man. And more importantly, the horizontal scar across his nose fit everything together, like a final jigsaw puzzle.
“Iruka-sensei.”

Dang Mystic Dragon. I am highly impressed. Congratulations.
This is the second sex scene I have ever written and the first I have ever posted anywhere. FYI. Here's part of it.
Iruka moaned, but that was nothing compared to when Kakashi suddenly engulfed his cock, encircling his head with his tongue for a moment before deep throating him while humming.
“God-damn!” Hurriedly Iruka tugged Kakashi away. At a rough calculation it had been almost a year since the last time he had been with someone and if things kept going at this rate he wasn't going to last long.
Kakashi came away with a pout. Iruka snickered at his expression. “If you want this to last a bit longer, we need slow down,” he said.
“Maa, we can't have that, can we?” Kakashi said, and then slowly, seductively, began pulling off his pants. Iruka kicked his off all the way and crawled over to him. In the early evening light streaming in through the windows Kakashi was so pale he seemed to glow against Iruka's sheets. His body was crisscrossed with the scars that all active shinobi acquired, some were a recent pink, others had faded to white. He found himself staring at one long old scar that trailed down from his right collarbone to his left hip. On impulse he licked it following it from collarbone to hip. Beneath his tongue Kakashi moaned and bucked. Iruka paused at his hip and licked the hollow of his hip for a moment before nuzzling the base of his erection. The sounds Kakashi was making were wonderful.
Iruka drew back and looked down at his lover. Kakashi's pale skin was beautifully flushed. At some point his hitai-tai had come off and the Sharingan glowed balefully in the dim light. It wasn't the first time he had seen one, a misspent youth saw to that, but it was the first time he had seen one so up close. Like the rest of Kakashi it was beautiful.
You'll have to wait until I'm done to read the rest. HAHAHA!

An electric typewriter? Wow...ya never know what folks write on, I suppose...
Thankies, platedlizard! I'm still plugg'n away at the mystery cases...
I would write a Naruto mystery, but that would be a little tough, seeing as they're all sort of murderers (missions given to ANBU to assassinate people? Yea...wouldn't work). Maybe a kidnapping case or something...nah, detectives just don't work in the Naruto world.
;p
And...excerpts be'n posted here are sound'n good! Though, I gotta admit that I'm skipping over the slightly over PG-13 rated ones, if ya know what I mean... (I don't enjoy writing or reading lemons...that's just my preference. I'll sometimes read a fic that has a lemon scene in it if the characterizations are good and the plot is good, and just skip the lemon scene).
Good thing this forum isn't all-ages...or this thread would have been locked by now. XD
Keep it up, everyone! It's great to see wordcounts go'n up and everyone have'n a good time with it! Maybe we can even try a word war sometime. I've never attempted to organize one, and there's the entire time zone thing to work around...I think some folks are doing it through AIM, though...
If we could get a word war go'n at some point (and mebbe have more if it's successful), would anyone be interested in it?

MDchan, I apologize, I should have given a warning for that excerpt.
I don't know about a word war, I'm still pretty slow with this new keyboard configuration although I'm getting better. Other people might be interested however.
Murder mystery among the ninjas might be interesting, just because they kill people for a living doesn't make all killings legitimate. I can see a ninja killing a lover, or someone they owe money to. Or even a civilian kills someone and then says 'a ninja did it' (sort of like the bush-haired stranger, only more believable)
