2019 Nano Tracker

Total- 13,983 - did not make it to the halfway point or full amount.

Did have an idea for the main prize for Kelski who finished- Tanroa's Sigil of Kelvic Bonding (or whatever name, I'm not good with naming stuff).
-What it does- Appears as a small tattoo or sigil made up of numerous tiny runes which combine to form an hourglass shape. Once applied to a kelvic becomes permanently etched onto their skin. Can only be applied to a Kelvic.
-Effect- Once applied can be activated by a Kelvic or their current bondmate at will. On activation both the Kelvic and their bondmate will appear in a sub-chamber within time which appears as a hazy void with only the two of them clearly visible. They will not be able to bring any objects with them, and will appear back just as they left though recalling the full events that transpired within. From an outside perspective no time will have passed while they are within the chamber. However within the chamber the two bonded will experience time and be able to communicate normally.
-Uses- Can be used multiple times each season, up to a total combined usage of 5 chimes over a single season. Each usage has to be for at least 1 chime, but can be longer as desired up to the total limit. Once the time limit for the season ends they will not be able to activate the effect again till the next season. No limit on range, so long as both are currently present in time at the same moment- regardless of location.

NANO Prizes!

November is the stupidest month to have a NaNo! Its honestly crazy busy, people have finals, and the weather is turning dark and dingy so no one is wanting to do more than take a good nap in their spare time. Despite all that, you guys did really well. A lot of you got at least halfway and those are the people I'm going to reward!

If you wrote at least 25,000 towards NaNo, I will allow you all to put FIVE objects of your choice (your PC must own them or be able to easily acquire them in thread) into my Cauldron and I will craft a magical item for you from them!

You can use colored candles - which mean things - or scents or even just simply random things like a clown's red nose! Just make sure its something you can get your hands on as a PC!

Then, like last time, you'll need to write out a thread or a post within another thread, where you dream doing this with a magic cauldron and you acquire your prize. I do this because I like people to collect the prizes immediately and not let them sit around going..."I need to find that somewhere in some thread sometime soon!"

And since Kelski was the only one that actually finished, I'm going to let you guys pick her prize. I hate awarding myself prizes and thinking up things because I always think its too much or outrageous etc. So if someone has some suggestions, please make them and otherwise, if you have your 25K done... post here what ingredients you are going to use and go for it! I'll post up your results after I see your ingredients.

I may not have finished, but I'm actually really happy with myself for hitting the halfway mark. That's a heck of a lot more than I've done for NaNo in recent years, and considering the huge lull I've had in my writing recently, was a huge amount for me period.

Congrats to everyone for trying their best, and congrats to Kelski for winning! I'm a bit braindead at the moment but I'll return to edit this post in the next day or so with my cauldron items (thank you for the wicked prize, Goss!) and hopefully an idea for Kels' prize.

NaNo Tracker :

Edit: Okay, here are the five items that I'd like to put in the cauldron, please!

1 - Bound flametongue dagger (The weapon is bound to the wielder and will cause pain to anyone else trying to wield it; equivalent to a minor wound ever minute it is held regardless of hand coverings. Awarded here*, claimed here*)
2 - A sunflower
3 - A white dove feather
4 - A piece of pink sea glass
5 - A stray cat's skull

And here is an idea for a prize for Kelski. I followed Cry's theme of something to do with bondmates.

I also was inspired by a D&D item, not even going to lie lol. And of course if you like the concept but feel the item needs editing in some way you're entirely free to do so!

This was such a fun month of writing. It was great to participate with everyone. Well done, one and all!

I decided to write a short dream thread to claim my prize for hitting the half-way mark. Here's the thread.

The five items I chose are:

Ennisa's heirloom, an iron dagger engraved with the initials F.V.Z
A drop of her own blood
A cup of Ahger ocean salt water
A lit lantern
A rough black stone from Zintia Peak in Lhavit

by **Autumn Rose** on December 5th, 2019, 2:28 am

Here are the items that Autumn will be tossing into the cauldron:
-A black masquerade mask with the constellation Zintila's Fall painted around the eyes. It has a sorrowful appearance overall.
-A lock of Gweneveh's hair (brown)
-A lock of baby Candace's hair (black)
-A vial of Soulmist made by Deshira Craven
-A forest green candle that matches Candace's eyes

by **Baelin Holt** on December 6th, 2019, 2:38 am

Into the Cauldron:
1) A piton (from Baelin's Climber's Kit)
2) A tail cut off of a dead rat
3) A pebble that was wedged in the bottom of his boot
4) Softwood shavings (from whittling)
5) A root yanked from a Stone Rose

And as for Kelski's prize: I think if you want another wish, you should have one.

I joined Ennisa is her dream thread here. This was a tough Nano year, but I'm glad someone from Miz made it. Congrats Kelski!
