st_aurafinaFirstly:
It was a fairly relaxed kind of NaNo. I would highly recommend fanwork if you're unsure about original fic in NaNo; I found it a lot of fun to just dive into a fandom and write whatever the hell I wanted to.
My final breakdown:
25K of Sanctuary fic
20K of Valdemar
5K of sequel to my Harry Potter/Doctor Who crossover that I've been meaning to write for many years.
*dusts hands* Now, on to the editing. *tragic sigh*
Secondly:
I post my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
xmenbigbang on the 11th, zomg. I have edits for that, I'm betaing another, I've got two fanmixes to put together. And then there's yuletide coming up.
Which reminds me,fandom_stocking is a fantastic gift fest run by medie, wherein you create a wishlist here, and the head elf hangs your stocking, then people fill it with goodies. I love writing for this one, it's so much fun to post your fic or graphics or good wishes, and then around the 6th of January, everyone gets to check their stocking.
Thirdly!
fivetimesbb is for writers to create a fic for het, gen, femslash or slash in whatever fandom or crossover they desire. The catch here is that your story will take some form of the "Five Times..." format. Whether that means five chapters, five apocalypses, five hook-ups, five items or any variation on the theme is up to you.
There's three different levels of commitment, 2-5K, 5-10K and 10K plus. It's going to be lots of fun. Go, sign up!
I made the banners! There's more here, and if anyone is willing to promote for their fandom, I'll make a banner for it. Please. Save me from the editing. (Can't sleep, comma splices will eat me.)

NGL, I spent November thinking, "When this is over..." Which leads me to:
The fivetimesbb community sounds like a great idea - will help spread the word. And maybe contemplate joining in.

Would you like a fandom specific banner? I have a template, it literally takes fifteen minutes to put one together, once I know who to put in it.
