I'd been flip-floppy about doing it this year, but rakina's jumping into the NaNoWriMo waters nudged me into deciding to do it this year as well.

I've decided to expand A Tasty Little Crumpet into a longer story. Not quite sure if I can pull 50k words out of the tale, even with an almost-1000-word head-start, but at least doing NaNo will push me a bit towards completing the story. I'm trying to make it canon-compliant, including epilogue-compliant, but that means having to deal with Ron, a character that I'm not exactly fond of in canon and even less so in fanon. The upside is the potential to write a little Bill/Fleur.

It also means that I will be going into some dark places when I write, since there will be some squicky bits. I'm also dithering a bit about some of the overall plot arc, mostly because of Ron and how he will react to some of the situations that the Fenrir/Hermione dynamic will create. One of the few good things about DH was how Rowling made her characters behave, compared to the previous books, so even if I make a mess of the characterizations, I can't be as OOC as the author herself. </snark>

I've updated my NaNoWriMo profile, but was dismayed to find last year's info for "Contingencies" gone. I'd have preferred that there be some kind of archive, but that isn't the case, and I've found pretty much all the links I'd used in my LJ entries about being in NaNo last year are 404-ed. :-/

Have I mentioned how much I hate broken links?

Well, I guess I'll have to think of this as getting a blank sheet of paper, ready for the 2007 challenge . . .
