Nano Swap - share the crude, crappy hilarity that is your NaNovel!
...I thought this might be fun-- basically, everyone here who wants to can do a Nano-swap come end of November. 50k or not, finished or unfinished plot, I think it would be great fun to swap Nanos. ^^ Just sign up here, and on December 1st, I'll ask a couple more questions, then assign everyone somebody to swap Nanos with. You don't have to post your e-mail here (you can just PM the address to your buddy once I assign you), but as I think Proboards would murder a 50,000 word PM, I think e-mail is the way to go. So while I hate to discriminate, please make sure you have a working e-mail before signing up for this. If you don't have a public one, it's very easy to make a free g-mail or Yahoo for this. x3
Please fill out all sections of this form, as they're important. Because I know everyone's Nano is going to vary in appropriateness, I need you to rate your own Nano on the scale below and also included the maximum Nano you're willing to read. Therefore, I don't assign a squeamish 13-year-old a gory, M-rated story. Good? Okay. xD There's also some other stuff to fill out for maximum Nano-matching!

Oh, and I know you might be thinking "but my Nano is first class junk!"... and that's probably true. But this will help you take your writing less seriously, and c'mon, it'll just be fun! xD

There, easy, wasn't it? I know it might seem a bit too thorough, but it's probably for the best. That way, I won't have an easily disgusted horror-hater reading a gory horror novel. xD
So, what are you waiting for?
Sign up today and join in on the misery fun! Then, come December 1, I'll PM each participant with a few more questions (is your NaNovel completed, did you reach 50k, etc.), and then assign buddies. Fun, right? ^_^

Rating Scale -[/i]
E (everyone) = good for everyone, I could read it to my five-year-old sister. Minimal adult situations, no swearing, no sexual content, none or extremely little violence, etc.
E+ (not for the youngest readers) = very appropriate, but maybe I'd only read it to the ten-year-old sister instead of the five-year-old. Minimal adult situations, a bit more violence (still nothing excessive!), minimal sexual contact (ie: maybe a peck on the cheek, but no making out), very minimal swearing (no f-bombs, please!), etc.
T (teen) = Little siblings, cover your ears! Decent amount of violence (nothing explicit or excessively gory), moderate swearing (all words open, but they're not abused or thrown in for the heck of it), no explicit sexual content, etc.
M (mature) = Eek. Anything goes. I'd really like to avoid this category, if at all possible, but if someone really does have an M novel... well, I may be able to find someone to read it, but I can't guarantee that.
