I was not originally planning on doing anything this year for NaNoWriMo. I've always loved the idea and wanted to do something for it, but none of my projects ever aligned with November very well (not to mention for years November was a busy school month filled with the march toward finals). At the most, I was hoping to sort of feed off the writing vibes and maybe finish up Queen Kale (that I started like, three months ago) or work more on Heart Stone: A Tale of Tamara (that has been lost to writing purgatory for over a year now).
But once I was introduced to the prompt tables over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
100_prompts, ideas just started flowing. I also really love them because it allows me to write short stories to break up the 50,000 word count easily instead of staring at a monolithic number to fill with just one story. So I decided to tackle them for Dragon Flyz (since I've always wanted to write in this fandom, but have never quite gotten around to it).
I picked Table A, which is as follows:
Ideally, I'd like to match each of the prompts to a specific character, and try to get to as many of the characters on the list as possible for variety's sake. I just finished a three-day marathon through the series (and took five pages of notepad-sized notes), so it's all fresh in my mind again. I realized that there is not actually very much character development going on there, but the world is actually rather nicely developed.Off topic, but the backgrounds in that show are really lovely too.
So this is going to be crazy, but definitely fun! I'm thinking about signing up officially on the website now and maybe even attending one of the write-ins. XD
