• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Just went over 50,000 words... which means I just won NaNoWriMo on my second attempt (and unlike last year's story, I never got sick of writing it!) According to the official word-counter I'm at 50,079, which is exactly 1 word less than what the word-counter I had been using up until now said...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    49,225 words... less than 1000 left to go, and at the rate I'm going I'll probably get that done before tonight's over (though probably not before the clocks switch over from the 29th to the 30th.) And most likely before finishing Chapter 12, which is turning out to be a pretty long chapter. XD...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Up to 47,208 now. And it'll probably be higher before I go to bed (though those words will end up on tomorrow's wordcount), since that cold seems to be going away now. It looks like the secret-underground-vampire-city-under-Michigan chapter will end up being two chapters (plus a little bit at...

    Stopping for today at 43,666... would probably be further ahead than that, but this cold I've had the past couple of days has made me not really feel like writing as much as usual (having to stop and grab a tissue every few minutes is not much fun.) Fortunately, I'm coming close to the end of...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    My wordcount is over 40,000. Didn't get anywhere near this far last year, and I guess at this point it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll get to 50,000... unless I end up not writing for three days, or unexpectedly run out of ideas, or get hit by a sudden wave of uninspiration, or catch the...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Was busy with other stuff yesterday and ended up not writing a single word all day. XD But after an hour-and-a-half of writing (finishing Chapter 9, and starting on Chapter 10), I'm up to 36,781 words. So I'm caught up to where I should've been at the end of yesterday, and I still have 10...

    Steve isn't really all that bright, and he's also never been to Rhode Island before (he said this when he heard the name "Rhode Island," long before they actually got there... he's only seen it on maps of the country before, and you can only really see the non-island part on most maps since the...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Almost up to 31,000 now (30,953 or something like that... I can't remember the exact number off the top of my head and I'm too lazy to go look it up at 2:47 AM. XD) Done with Chapter 8, and started on Chapter 9 now. Pretty much caught up with last year's story at this point... I think I had...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Up to 29,351 words now, and I'm almost done with Chapter 8 (in which a couple of scummy drunk vampires jump up on stage during the filming of Emeril Lagasse's show... and quickly get their asses kicked by the chef, thanks to a clove of garlic and a cast-iron frying pan.) Actually kind of...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Pulled another "write more than 1667 and get way ahead of the target wordcount" day again, and now I'm up to 27,513 words. Finished with Chapter 7 too... though I ended up getting over 4200 words in the chapter without even getting to the second major event. So I ended up splitting it out into...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Up to 25,377 now, and done with Major Event #1 of Chapter 7. And on top of that, Chapter 7 has a title now, amazingly. It just kinda popped into my head and gave me an extra five points on the wordcount-o-meter at the last second. Over 25,000 means I'm officially more than halfway there, and...

    Oh. I have no idea what a Holon Pokémon is... must be something they added after I stopped paying any attention at all to the card game.

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Wait... the card game has "canon?" From what I remember of it, it was more of a throw-everything-in, even-if-it-makes-no-sense kind of thing, with the types all jammed together, attacks/stats having little or no relation to the games, random silly things like "crystal type" and "dark" versions...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Up past 22,000 now (total wordcount as of right this second: 22,147.) Which means I'm ahead of the target wordcount again, though I still haven't gotten back to the "1000+ words ahead" point where I was a few days back. Kind of amazed that I'm getting close to halfway and not losing interest...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Almost reached 18,000 now. Kind of slacked off a bit during the day (though I did finish Chapter 5!) since I got so far ahead last night, but I'm still around a day ahead of the target wordcount. I actually wrote over 2000 words today, at least if you count the parts I had done by 1 AM last...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    17,081 words, and I haven't even gone to bed for the night yet. So basically, thanks to the hour or so of writing I just did, I'm a full day ahead of the reccommended-wordcount-o-meter now. Wow... how the hell did that ever happen? Getting close to the end of Chapter 5; I should have at least...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Up to 13,207 now. I'll probably get past the target wordcount of 13,334 (plus the extra 200-some words the site wants me to write for today) pretty quick once I get back to writing. Pugh and company have now met the inbred redneck vampires... starting with the man of the house (err, trailer)...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    Up to 12,324 words now. Apparently the NaNoWriMo site hasn't gone back to normal time yet (or there's a setting for it on the site somewhere that I forgot to change last night), so my wordcount for today ended up being late thanks to the last hundred words or so not going in until after 11:00...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    10,341 now. Plus, all of my main characters finally have names and vague hints at personalities! Well, first names anyway... but Steve makes up new middle/last names for himself every time someone asks, and the rest probably don't have middle or last names at all, so first names are really all...

    NaNoWriMo 2010

    It's over 8000 now! 8586 to be specific. And due to the whole "1667 words per day" thing, the site wants me to write another 21 words even though I'm already 200-some words over today's target wordcount. XD Anyway... Chapter 2 is finally done, and I've gotten started on Chapter 3. So far...
