Triple Points: If the word or phrase is a character's name. xD I can see that happening in my story. *takes* ^-^ More dares: Dare: Include the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night" Bonus: Include the phrase "He was a dark and stormy knight." Triple Bonus: Make the dark and stormy knight an important character. Also Triple Bonus: Include a beagle typing on a typewriter. 8D I AM SO TAKING THIS!!! It fits PERFECTLY with the story I have planned! *funkyhappydance* Dare: Have a character say of some problem, "I know the perfect way to solve this... PIE!"

Dare: Use some common trope from a genre of your choice, and then hang a lampshade on it. Double Bonus: If a character literally hangs a lampshade as the trope occurs. I could see this happening >D Seeing as my entire novel is sort of parodying the superhero genre. For those who did NaNo a previous year... Dare: Have one of your characters be reading a previous NaNo of yours. Double Dare: If this character is a huge fan of the book and always making references to it that no one else understands. |
