Spoiler:
I am giving you all support because I showed up at my region's final write-in event to cheer on the others... and nobody else showed up and I am sitting here in this cafe all alone.
:ohdear:

They probably gave up. We shouldn't make the same mistake.

This is going to end and I still got 2k words to writeee

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #426 on:** November 29, 2010, 05:08:19 PM »

Depends on the time zone. I still have 12+ hours to write 5k words. And I have a 4-6 page essay on Peruvian history due tomorrow in Colonial Latin America class I haven't touched, too!

Panic energy panic energy panic energyyyyyyy

I can't help but wonder: Is the deadline November 30th, or December 1st? If the latter, don't you all have an extra day...?

Prody · « **Reply #428 on:** November 29, 2010, 05:38:54 PM »

It ends at 30th November 11:59 PM, on your timezone.

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #429 on:** November 29, 2010, 09:57:24 PM »

Phwee...phwee...phwee.

I...I did it. 50k. It's only like halfway through the fucking story, but I did it.

Phweeeee...congrats to everyone who's managed to pull it off, and good luck to everyone in the home stretch...=_=

In that case, I have enough time left to panic about my essay instead of this (specifically, a bit over 30 hours.)

I'll still finish on time, but right now I need to concentrate on this horrible homework. >_o

Congratulations to everyone who succeeded! (Miserable failure on my part. Will probably finish this thing in my own time.)

Welcome in the winner's circle, Rou.

AW YEAH

I love watching tonnes of WINNER bars suddenly start showing up in my buddies list. It's heartwarming 8D

Kay, NNWM is going to end in about two hours around here. How are you all feeling right now?

Bias Bus · « **Reply #439 on:** November 30, 2010, 09:17:58 PM »

Eh, I dropped NNWM, mainly because it was absolutely hopeless in trying to pull 20k out my ass in one day. That and what I had planned wasn't going to make the cut (I had to snip ALOT of stuff I wanted to do because I didn't have time to write it all out before the deadline).

I'm still writing the story I used though so the time spent on this wasn't a complete waste of my life.

I wonder how long it takes NNWM to update.

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #442 on:** December 01, 2010, 06:57:46 AM »

Hey hey, congrats to you, too, and to everyone who was able to pull this off-- and everyone who attempted, for that matter!

...I signed up, but never started. :derp:

trancehime · « **Reply #447 on:** December 01, 2010, 10:44:10 AM »

A warm congratulations and felicitations to all our winners.

And a good try and "yay!" to those who attempted to take NNWM on by the horns.

Garlyle · « **Reply #448 on:** December 01, 2010, 03:40:33 PM »

Congratulations, everyone!

Thanks to Kiro (Click for some charts!), we're able to get some stats for all of this!

Total wordcount: 507744
Average wordcount: 19528.62
% Active (non-zero wordcount): 96.3% (26/27) - (compared with 36.1% internationally)
% Winners (wordcount>50k): 25.9% (7/27)
% Winners of Active (wordcount>50k): 26.9% (7/26) (compared with 30.38% internationally)

1/4 of us completing is actually really damn good! And even many of you who didn't complete still got quite a bit done - quite a bit that you didn't before!

Seian Verian · « **Reply #449 on:** December 01, 2010, 04:22:46 PM »

I still feel bad about giving up after the second day ._. I couldn't focus or get the words down past the first, and I just... Gah.

Congratulations to all of those who actually did stick with it, both those who won and those who didn't.
