Okay, so.

I'm already sketching out a NaNo/story. Whee, months in advance!

It's only September 10th, why am I doing this.

Anyway, if you know about the semi-relevant quote that is put in at the beginning of some books, you'll know why I'm doing this. A quote from Torkie. XD

"
It must be so odd living on the other side of the Fourth Wall.

You can do all these things and make expressions and stuff, and yet the Writers you interact with don't really see you."

I dunno, it got me thinking of what it's like to be a character on the other side of the fourth wall. XD It'll make sense in November, promise!

I know I'll be able to write 50K on this... if I have the time. XD I might be able to do it as an English project, though...

So.

More NaNo thinking.

I know I'm going to do that idea, I just don't know how.

And I've made it a goal... I want 10K by November 3rd. Which would usually be impossible, but with minimal NTWF/Skype and NO anything else except homework which I can do on the way home thanks to the 20 minute drive... I'd probably be able to do it!

Buuuut with that I have a request.

NTWFers voices make me happy and productive. So if I had a ton of voicechats while NaNoing, or if people recorded things for me... I'd be like insanely happy during that time of "MUST DO 10K BY NOVEMBER 3RD" and after that when I'm doing the remaining 40K.

I really hope I finish this year. I wonder if it'll be impossible...

But anything is possible, right?

So here's all the NaNo planning and discussing I've posted so far. ^

Otherwise I'm just deciding on what characters to put in it. ^^;

Also, I'm trying to figure out if it should be a Taco perspective, general roleplaying perspective, or storybook perspective. Probably gonna go with all three, or two of them at least. It's nice to get different perspectives on things. :3

...Other than that stuff? I dunno.

I just hope I can finish this year. :3 The pros of being in this school include getting out at 1:30, so I have the whole entire afternoon, night, and probably into the morning to type and type and type.

More to come, I'm gonna go watch more Doctor Who!

SO I've decided that I'll do all of those perspectives. :3

I'll probably use a girl named Ellie for (one of) my general roleplaying perspective(s). :> Ellie doesn't get much love at all. Really, she's an old character, one I keep forgetting about and really don't use very much. I'll probably also use ninja!Candy. X3

As for story-perspective... Probably Sara (from one of my stories; she's a friend of my character Sabrina from the Taco), Daisy (Gina?) from my first NaNo attempt (which was based on my experience on the NTWF before confessing about my age, btw, in a way... It was my first way of trying everyone that I was not really a girl named Candy. Derp.) and Allerie from my '10 NaNo ((Purple Elephants Dancing)).

For the Taco-perspective we have Sabrina and Mouppy. Two of my favorite characters ever.

...I might also chuck Marnie (who nobody really knows) in there for the lulz.

I'm probably going to add more, but some of these characters ((SEE: ...all of them omg nooo)) really really really need to be developed more.

At least I have a month to plan and experiment and have fun with this stuff. X3

...Now that I think of it, I should probably ask a bunch of people ((...All tacoers, I've noticed, besides ninja!Candy who has some Tacoers thrown in there even omg why)) if I can mention their characters in my stuff

Because even Ellie has interacted with Tacoer characters ((since she's part of an ongoing roleplay, even if the characters in question don't visit/have never visited the Taco.)) at some point.

...Yeah. Turns out I have a lot of work to prepare for after all. And how exactly am I supposed to fill my stuff with useless talking, or take any dares? Eeep.

But I ain't backing off this idea. I like it too much.

SPOILER: Click to show

I was so tired of waiting.

I was so angry by this point, frustrated with this. I could hear that girl, the one who looked so like me, talking to that annoying rocker chick in the room nearby. I couldn't stand the two, they were like sugar and spice-- complete opposites, yet so alike. One called herself Eliza, the other is Ellie. Ellie and Eliza, the two Es. They seemed to be friends with each other, and honestly, while I could stand some people on that blasted boat-- I was more of a runner/jumper, myself, as ninjas usually are-- Ellie and Eliza just annoyed me. They were frustrating, boring, completely dull. Eliza was too false- sugary, but she had a temper on her that made me want to push her overboard. Ellie was too stereotypical.

As I sat on the floor, crosslegged, I could hear the two girls, the frustrating ones, talk as though I wasn't here, couldn't hear them chatting. Eliza was asking Ellie's opinion.

I was lonely, and I played with my ponytail, so like the girl's. Mine was high, almost on the top of my head, while the annoying one's jutted out to the side. The beautiful pink scrunchie I had-- it, along with my other three hair accessories, also scrunchies, in blue, purple, and orange-- put a pop of color in my dark black outfit. I was wearing all black besides the scrunchies, and my tanned skin and honey blonde hair made it look better. I didn't feel like Ellie-- goth, boring. Instead, I felt like the ninja that I am and always will be.

I fiddled with the knives I had strapped to my legs. They fit well under my black jeans, and they were really only for fighting. I let the electricity from my hands crackle through the metal, and wished that the girls would hurry up so I could get back to the boat, back to safety, where I didn't have to hear the chatter of that annoying child.

Please, can we get it over with?
