Aka NaNoWriMo for people who don't have time to write a 50k long novel in a month
I'll be taking on an alternative challenge by Isoprene, where the goal is to write or rewrite a character profile every day for the entire month of November. Technically speaking there's no word count involved in this and making 30 profiles accounts for the 50k words, but I'll still try to get an average wordcount of 1667 words per profile anyway!
Won't be uploading everything I type to the online profiles, though, due to spoilers and insecurity about my own writing and stuff, but I will update this bulletin with the total word count I managed to get for every particular profile on that day! Let's hope I can reach 1667 per day, but knowing my tendency to blabber on and on in backstories that shouldn't be a problem ;)
Profiles I'll (re)write
1. Kraye (2628 words)
2. Cafun (1494 words)
3. Wes (1538 words)
4. Alena (2105 words)
5. Francis (1068 words)
6. Remco (1804 words)
7. Nathan (2489 words)
8. Sane
9. Neridan (2185 words)
10. Fré (513 words)
11. Gravio
12. Kari
13. Kor
14. Quinn
15. Travis
16. Seares
17. Helena
18. Tin
19. Mortimer
20. Benethel
21. Tina
22. Etisi
23. Henry
24. Luca
25. Levi
26. Riley
27. Markus
28. Blaine
29. Chris
30. Epheil
Either way, wish me luck because this is gonna drain what small part of my soul uni didn't already right out of my body.
Best of luck! Can't wait to see all the finished ones. c:

Thank you! Just like the novel for NaNoWriMo, the profiles will be a WIP until I can edit them after November. Like, I'll wing it with them so there may be some really dumb stuff I've written in there c':

Well, I'll still be looking forward to them anyways!

Best of luck to you! I'm doing the same thing and have a list on my own bulletins too, but mine are all fresh profiles so I can force myself to keep uploading more characters who have been waiting in line for ages. ^^; I won't be keeping track of word count, but I have the same tendency to ramble in backstories or personality descriptions or whatever, so it shouldn't be too hard to get that count up without meaning to anyway. You can do it~

Thanks a lot for the encouragement! It's all about challenging yourself in some way to write, so as long as you do something you find fun it's fine and dandy. Best of luck yourself ^^
As for myself, I don't have that many profiles that still need to be made into a TH profile, I tend to make profiles when I know the character will be used but keep them empty until I have something to say about the character. Maybe a bad habit, but it helps when chronologically ordering profiles in the gallery view. Either way, I think it's gonna be fun to finally be able to think up all sorts of backstories for my characters who currently only have a design and one or two lines of personality c:

Thanks~ I usually don't have much of a problem with writing, but the challenge is always directing my energies in the right place. I'm usually so aimless on who to work on next, so I think this list for the whole month will really help. :3
Yeah, I have the problem where I used to have all these characters documented in notebooks... so now it's just moving them all and then updating the old info/designs. Still got a long way to go, and even though 30 isn't a lot compared to how much I still need to upload, it's certainly going to help. And I feel the same way: it's gonna be really neat to get some fresh ideas going for these characters~ ^^
