Welcome to NaNoWriMo 2011 here at hd_writers! If you're aiming for 50K in November, hd_writers is the place to hang. Let our community support you in your writing efforts -- let's all root each other on! Even if you're not participating in NaNoWriMo yourself, you can help cheer your fellow H/D writers along. Feel free to shower participants with kudos and encouragement as they make a grab at the 50K brass ring! We'll be bringing a handful of supportive activities to the community during NaNoWriMo month to help all writers, whether you're doing NaNoWriMo, you want to finish your holiday fest fics, or it's time to finally clear that unfinished WIP from your to-do list. Here's what you can expect:

• Word Wars! Word Wars! Word Wars! V-gift Prizes! (Dates TBA)

• Daily NaNoWriMo check-in posts

• Daily WIP check-in posts

• Daily progress meter posts

• Writing Tips and Tricks

• Writing Buddy Requests

• NaNo Drabble Day - November 19th

Here are some tools and fun stuff to help you get started:

HD Writers NaNoWriMo badges for your profile page or LJ posts (please do not hotlink):



Official NaNoWriMo badges of all sizes can be found here.

HD Writers LJ icons (100 x 100):



Free Word Count Meters:

1. Basic NaNo Meter

2. Sidebar with Book Progress Meter

3. Another Basic Progress Meter

4. Simple HTML/CSS Progress Meter

5. The Ticker Factory -- all kinds of graphical meters.

If you're going to be a cheerleader this year, grab an LJ icon (100 x 100)!



The dates for Word Wars will be announced soon and we hope NaNo Drabble Day on Saturday, November 19th will be a blast! If there is a particular topic of discussion that you'd like a Tips or Tricks post on, please don't hesitate to leave us a comment with your idea(s) -- we want to help everyone get all the words written this month, and if specific topics of convo will help, then we're here to provide. All of us mods hope you will share your NaNo experience with hd_writers this year.

50,000 words awaits! Grab your laptop, open up a new or an old file, and write all the words! You can do this. Yes, you can.

According to NaNoWriMo's official rules, fanfiction does count for NaNoWriMo, as well as original material.

Soooo excited! My fingers are already itching for midnight because my bunny has been bouncing insistently for a week now.

It's already 1st November here, so I've already started! I have another pretty word count (http://svenja.atspace.com/wordmeter.html) meter that I love and other people might love too. =D

I'm so very excited! I was not planning on participating but looking at all of this makes me want to! <3

Those are awesome icons. I almost snagged one for myself.

I wrote my horror fanfic and my snarry vamp fanfic under NaNo. NaNo is great for getting all the words out!
