In a surprising (?) twist, some of the original NaNoWriMo crew, including founder Chris Baty, established a site called nano2. They promise not to support AI and to guarantee the safety of minors. No obligation for 50k words, just to write in November. They also promise badges. Am currently watching from afar.

Sometimes I wish DW has a like button for posts, like on social media.

udm14, for AI-free search results (new to me).

thirty30, write 30k words in 30 days. It takes place four times a year, and the next challenge is live in November.

After a long time, I get v. excited again over a shounen anime, and it is, not surprisingly, Demon Slayers/Kimetsu no Yaiba. I love how kind-hearted the siblings are, and how the story forgoes the "must fight a group of super powerful good guys first before facing the group of bad guys" trope. Will just wait for the movies to be available online.

It's October! Let's get spooky!

This October, write a horror story. You'll get one novelty bead for every five hundred words or fraction thereof. If you'd like to add a bonus level of difficulty, comment here with a number from 1 to 25 and I'll give you a horror subgenre to write in. All stories for this challenge will count for both chiaroscuro and graffiti.

Spook it up, writers! Let's see what you got.

Name: Another Kind of Love
Story: Tales From the Neighborhood
Plot Thread: Michael, Robert, and Stephen
Colors: Warm Heart #29: Pleasure
Styles and Supplies: Life Drawing, Silhouette, Cartography, Stained Glass, Mural, Gesso, Sculpture, Calendar Page (National Self-Awareness Day), Tempera (Used dailytarotdraw.com and got the Seven of Pentacles: The Seven of Pentacles also reminds us of the importance of patience and persistence as we wait for the fruits of our labor to manifest. It encourages us to have faith in ourselves and remain committed to our goals, knowing that our dedication will eventually pay off. This card serves as a gentle reminder that success often requires nurturing and nurturing takes time.), Novelty Bead ("You give me fever - when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight/Fever - in the the morning, fever all through the night." Fever, Michael Buble, given here)
Word Count: 11,976
Rating: T
Warnings: There's a lot of really strongly implied sex/hookups in here, but nothing higher-rated than T actually happens onscreen. Stephen and Jasmine say some bad words, and there's some really vague and unspecific discussion of past mpreg.
Important Onscreen Characters: Michael Wolf, Robert Bren, Stephen Bren, Victoria Ramirez, Jasmine Rai, Theo Huffington, Philip Marsh
Important Offscreen Characters: Bethany Ramirez, Oliver Bren, Archie Daniels, Simon Upsnott
Main Relationship is (the beginnings of) a Michael/Robert/Stephen QPR, and secondarily a Michael/Robert sexual relationship, but also:
Important Onscreen Relationships: Robert/Victoria, Stephen/Victoria, Stephen/Jasmine, Robert/Philip
Important Offscreen Relationships: Theo/Bethany, Oliver/Victoria, Michael/Archie, Theo/Victoria, Simon/Jasmine, Frodo/Sam, Michael/Philip
(There are also numerous unimportant characters and relationships in here, onscreen and offscreen, but I'm not listing them all.)
Summary: Michael, Robert, and Stephen survive college. Nobody survives Victoria Ramirez.
Notes: Sorry that this wound up becoming almost twelve thousand words of relationship drama and aspec nonsense. This is Sculpture with respect to this, which comes basically immediately after the end of this piece, and this, which happens at some point between Michael meeting Victoria and Michael and Robert getting together.
