...and of course reaching 50k words in 30 days with a forum ripped from the Wild West days of the web!
Join us this November for the unhinged, caffeinated, pantsing-while-pantsless, debaucherous, dangerous NaNoWriMo reboot that no one *explicitly* asked for but thousands of Millennials silently grieved for and wished for.
We know this site placeholder is hideous. It's a throwback, a joke, and a love letter to a version of the internet that had a Urinal Cakes thread, Plot Ninjas and cringe but almost no real names, no moderation, no culture war, no consequences, no algorithm, no telemetry, and yes... no AI.
Who are we? Not Anonymous (although one of us was at Occupy Wall Street and at Chelsea Manning's trial)... we are just two writers who laughed too hard at an archived copy of the 2002 and 2003 NaNoWriMo dares and decided to take advantage of the power vacuum when the organization became too restrictive and yet ALSO too dangerous (in the bad way, not the fun way) to keep going. So we're here to bring back the spirit of NaNoWriMo past. Giant man-eating lesbian ninja cabbages and all.
NanoReboot will be:
- 18+ only (sorry, kids, we have nothing against you, but we want to run a 2003-style forum in 2025 and this is how we avoid liability while doing that)
- Completely unhinged and hilarious
- Absolutely irreverent
- Full of beloved classics like Adoptables and Dares
- Run for joy and community, not monetization
- A place for killing not only your inner editor but also the inner suppression that comes from years of living in the modern digital panopticon
- A place where everyone can laugh, cry, and maybe even have a Kundalini surge... whatever gives you the catharsis that you need
- A place where you hear phrases like "don't banish the part of you that's cringe, banish the part of you that cringes"
- One forum that will NOT kick you out or censor you for talking about Luigi Mangione (one of us has over a decade of True Crime writing experience)... you can write 50,000 words about Luigi Mangione if you want... 100,000 words... as many as you want...
- A community where we encourage you to use less AI. That's right, even you... digitally exiled person over there who keeps talking to ChatGPT like it's your best friend because you can't trust other people any more...
