silver_sunSo Camp NNoWriMo ends in about an hour and a quarters time here in the UK, but I've just validated my word count and I have 50152 words - which means I win :) Okay I win an icon, a certificate I have to fill in myself, and a discount for a writing program than I'm not sure I'll buy, but I won. And I have writing the single longest story that I've written, and at just over 50k it's not actually finished - it probably needs another 10k of descriptions and in some parts scenes that are partially or in some cases entirely missing.
So here's the banner certificate thing. I just gave the story the name of the main character, I didn't want to call it 'untitled military adventure proto-steampunk thing'
If anybody is interested in the rather disjointed and all over the place files that make up the 50152 words they can be found here (because this is my 4th back up place so I don't lose it)

And despite it not being finished at 50k, a lot of the characters who'd very much decided to do their own thing (particularly Cade, Lady Ansela and General Medon) and the viking-esque Sergeant Draken Krell with his many blue tattoo, the obnoxious Sir Organzo Vayas and the unpleasant but mysterious even to me (because even I'm not sure what his real goal is) Dr Aubin Metrian who all just appeared as they weren't even in the original plot outline, I've ended up with ideas for a sequel or two (Because I couldn't get an undercover spying plot line, the theft of an airship and industrial espionage in to this story as it was already full of explosions, mysterious deaths, dashing bandits (who also decided they wanted to be very complicated political revolutionaries as well), semaphore towers, coded messages, surprise airships and daring night raids to blow up bridges.)
So yes, that's camp nano done. Sort of. Although I'll still keep working on it. And now I need to start sorting out the Primeval bigbang that's due for November, a Christmas exchange fic, my horror bingo card and seeing if there is any interest in holding a second round of the classic Torchwood big bang.
