Welcome to the National Novel Writing Fall (NaNoWriFa).
Nanowrifa is much like Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) except that instead of giving ourselves just one month to write a novel (or 50,000 words), we're giving ourselves the entire fall of 2005 to do so.
Note: NaNoWriFa is in NO way affliated with NaNoWriMo. Basically, we're just a bunch of people who decided it was a good idea.
Rules for the Community
1. Exerpts, links, word counts, frustrations, links, and other relevant things are allowed. However, any exerpt over 200 words needs to be behind a cut tag. If you do not know how to use a cut tag, PLEASE contact me or ask for help.
2. Plagarizing is a NO NO. It is *bad*. Do not do it. It is, of course, acceptable to post material when PROPER credit is given. That includes at least the name of the person who DOES deserve to take credit and the album, book, website, article, newspaper, journal, or source of said material.
3. Please post warnings for any material that you think others might find disturbing. I'll allow you to use your common sense on this.
4. Be aware that it is entirely possible to friends lock or filter posts even on a community. While it is certainly NOT a requirement - those writing with an eye towards later publication may find that some publishers consider any posting on the web as "prior publication". However, a friends locked/filtered post can be considered submission to a writer's group and is *not* publication.
5. Be respectful of each other. Help one another out. Give support, encouragement, and comments where ever you can. Have fun. Write like it's goin' outta style.

Basic plots in literature - A Google Answers page about the 36 basic plots and whether that's myth or reality. Very interesting for those who have no plot at all.
Project Gutenberg - long standing project to have full texts of works of literature available freely on the web. A good way to get inspired is to read.
