Iām trying to crack the codeā¦ My guess so far is that itās sort of an indication of NiaD previous experience.
- ^ means 3 NiaDs so far
- " means 2 NiaDs so far

Interesting indeed. It might even have a sort of āchoose your adventureā structure.
Have you considering to allow people write two different chapters? (I donāt mean two versions of the same chapter, but two whole chapters).
that must leave
Iām definitely up for it. Did I see somewhere that you would like to see an example of writing of people who havenāt participated before? Happy to do so.

Yes please! Iāve sent you a forum message with details.
Please count me in. Hello to everyone

Thanks!

Roger, Elle, WELCOME!
FleetAdmiralO, WELCOME BACK! Not bad. 21 participants and weāve only been live a couple of days.
For those keeping score, I now have the two paragraph version of the plot, and the POOEE questions!

OMG!, are we going to paraphrase one of the great Edgar Allan POEās works this year? :mrgreen:
Sign me up!

Making me precede or follow Bywater yet again is too much to bear.
No worries! Given this yearās format, pigfender ( ) can give you the very same chapter as Bywater.
Question: Given the new āmultiple versions of a segment possibleā procedure ā which sounds excellent to me ā I wonder if perhaps you could add one more option for the volunteers? Besides being able to opt into/out of gore, could we ask to be assigned to a segment with multiple writers?
The reason I ask is that at present my schedule for that time period is kind of iffy. Under the old rules I simply wouldnāt sign up this go round because of the real possibility of not being able to write that day.
But if I could know that either way there wouldnāt be a hole because someone else would also be writing that segmentā¦?
I think Iām going to deny that one. If the project doesnāt have that horrid gut churning fear of letting everyone downā¦ well then it doesnāt have the same drive to complete, the same pressure to inspire creativity, or the joy of submission.
In other words, if you drop out, youāll still leave a hole.
Iād also reiterate that early sign-up makes my life much easier!
One thing I WOULD consider, is if a participant was inviting a bunch of people from their writing group along, then Iād be happy to arrange it so that they were all different chapters and in the same version of the book.
So yesā¦ this year you can encourage your writing pals to join instead of keeping it a secret from them in the fear that theyād steal your place.
Iām in. Where do I sign? ā¦ She reaches for the quill, dips it in the blood of the morningās sacrifice and writes ā¦ āI MontrĆ©e Whiles ā¦ yada, yada, yada.ā
Works out well my upcoming request for time off coincides with this auspicious day. Itās not unequal in importance to Unification Day (aka: Brown-Coat Day). Iāve set every device in my apartment to sound the claxon on this day of all days ā¦ .
See you all there!
I wish I could join in with this, but I canāt.
Good luck to everyone.
ā¦ the quill drips the deep red ooze which stains itās tip. I, MontrĆ©e Whilesā¦
Dadnabit! Iām in. NIAD 2014ā¦ bring it on!
Iām in, if you can tolerate a bit of Southern American English.

When the ink gets to flowing, I can tolerate anything, Asbestos_Dust. I donāt think a little Southern style English will be a problem.
Please would love to take part
