mysterious writer, neomarsu, katlovergilpinm, IanPhilpot welcome to the forum. I’ve sent you all a Direct Message with next steps!
RedOrion1, r6d2: Welcome back! 
GETTING EXCITED YET?
I am!
I have to say, I’m disappointed by the considerable lack of mysterious symbols next to participant names this year. I had hoped for the swirly-m’jigger or a caret or something. It dons on me though that it’s a great privilege and honor to be counted among the rest of the gang. I always say, it’s the high point of my year in this dinky lil ole town. 
Welcome to all newcomers.
Jaysen, if you could only bottle that determination-and-persistence thing you got going … . If only.
Wants the ^. Gets the |.
Meanwhile Nom, and only Nom, gets crucificated …

[size=150]That’s that sorted … anything else, Montree?

Mrs would like to assure everyone that I am, in fact, the same in person that I am on the forum. She called it “being an pain the the ”. She has no idea why you’d want that bottled, but believes my personality can be achieved by anyone simply by behaving like a spoiled 3 year old child. She warns that the “cuteness” of a 3 year old is not transferable to an adult.
Jaysen, great information to have. But, are you certain you understood my comment?
As for carrots and carets, Vic-K, I enjoy the former sautéed with butter and sesame seeds. The latter fits best over the ‘u’ in an apple pie crust (croûte). I do entertain the other members of the family as their elder sibling is most content when paired with a larger companion, say 100? Her twin, however prefers to consort with that which is smaller in stature say, 24. All-in-all, I doubt yours is a true member of the family.
Part of may charm, as I like to think of it, is my ability to simply ignore any and all meaning except those that play nicely with my current mood.
You wouldn’t want me to blow a cork would you?
Stopping in to sign up. :mrgreen:
Any more room? If so, please add me to the list.
Well, you could argue that’s my lot in life. 
However, I note that everyone else is a minus while I am a plus. 8)
I’m a little disturbed by the implicit mathematics, especially without Pigfender writing a chapter to help balance the equation. Still, I’ll do my best… 
Charm? Well, this ability does seem to be almost magical… 
You said it… I have magic charm!
See how that works?
Well, don’t let it go to your head. Scrapsandsass is getting some very special treatment in the list, albeit subtly so. I think it could be argued that iii trumps a lone +.
Hi this sounds awesome. I would love to join. Sign me up.
Well, we all know that’s the universal symbol for a birthday cake.
Further evidence…
Almost…
OK, I’m willing to give it a go.
You can find this bear on Twitter easily enough. He first emerged into daylight on the Spontoon Islands website, and has appeared several times in NaNoWriMo season.

Expect the unexpected…
Piggiemeister, I do have one question about the time. So, that’s midnite UK time. Five minutes after midnite would have us on the 17th of October side of things or the 18th of October side of things. I just don’t want to arrive a day late or a day early and find no party to be had. If, instead, we were to say 23:59 on the 17th of October, would the 24 hours of writing be just about to conclude or just about to start? I find that midnight for some folk happens at the end of the day or the start of the day and I always have to clarify which.
By the way, I bought a new party frock just for the occasion.
Though it might prove entertaining, I suspect there might be messiness afterwards do contend with. I’m sure then at that precise moment something would pop up on my calendar and I’d have to bail out on clean-up.
I hope that’s not foreshadowing or foreboding or an omen of some sort.
