Hello, everyone!
Due to popular demand, this community is back and kicking, serving as the (once again) official RPWriMo community for 2012.
I'm going to c/p these details from my 2009 post:
Obviously, this is our own invention -- an opportunity for writers who WANT to push themselves in a NaNoWriMo fashion, but would prefer to do it in their own way!
Here are the basics:
1. The word count goal for RPWriMo is 30,000 words. This is significantly lower than NaNoWriMo, because RP inherently involves the participation of others. There's a significant amount of waiting for people to tag logs that needs to be taken into consideration. For this reason, we felt that 30,000 words was a much more manageable goal.
2. Anything you write for a character counts toward the 30,000 word goal. This includes (but surely is not limited to):
- Logs (The words that YOU write, obviously, and not the entire log)
- Narratives
- Backdated narratives
- News articles, blog postings, etc.
- Phone conversations (again, your sections)
- Drabbles. These generally involve another person's character, but are often very useful in character development.
3. We are not counting comments or text messages, because, by nature, these things are short and purely conversational. Plus, who really wants to count up every single comment thread that they participate in?
4. Feel free to use this community to share drabble prompts or relay your experiences and ideas! You can also post when you've hit your goal -- and of course, there will be individual banners made for everyone who completes RPWriMo!
5. Please feel free to ask any questions that you might have. This is a work in progress, so we're happy to tweak things as necessary.
6. PROMOTE RPWRIMO! Because RP is collaborative, this will work better if lots of people participate -- more people to log with on a daily basis! Please feel free to post the banner at the top of this post in your own journal, and link back to rpwrimo!
