November is National Novel Writing Month, and Aetolia embraces the
creative spirit by challenging you, our loyal players, to take up the
call and write! The challenge of NaNoWriMo is to throw away all your
preconceptions about the difficulty of writing a novel, and join in the
spirit of collective effort to punch one out in only 30 days time.

The goal of this challenge is to complete a novel of 50,000 words by
Midnight on November 30th. In the hopes of inspiring any of you who may
be on the fence about making such a commitment, we offer the following:
Any Aetolian player who completes a 50,000+ word novel set in the
Aetolian universe and submits it before the 5th of December, 2009, will
receive, upon review of at least a baseline level of quality, 750
unbound Credits, no strings attached! We know the intricate craft of
your roleplay lends itself well to creating personalities of immense
depth, and this is the perfect opportunity to flesh out some of your
ideas in a more expansive fashion.

As with the Bardic contest entries, all works submitted for the Aetolian
NaNoWriMo Challenge become the property of Aetolia, LLC, and your works
will be featured and available to the public upon submission and
recognition for a prize. Any questions about the process may be directed
to Me, Galleus, and more inforation about National Novel Writing Month
can be found at http://www.nanowrimo.org

Good luck to all willing participants!
