Notes: Well, like I said in my bio page, I first joined NaNo last year, after wondering for a few days what this "NaNo" thing Rahaeli was going on about was. My friend Rae joined, and explained to me what it was. And then I just /had/ to do it. Because what kind of author would I be if I didn't make the challenge? It was something that gave me inspiration, and although I had to write something entirely new, and not something I'd written before, it was still helpful to get something done. Of course, 50,000 words later, my NaNo still isn't finished. The main plot just arrived, and boy is it not finished yet. Maybe I can write the next 50,000 words this year... oh, who am I kidding? This wasn't originally split up into chapters, and I've taken the chapter splits where I think they should be or that length advised me to. Thingy. In case you're interested, here are a few links for NaNo:

Blurb: Okay. *takes a deep breath* The human nation of Thayele, led by Queen Rarahdi, has allied their forces with the elven nation of Zesahla, led by Queen Sienne, to defend against the enemy (human) nation of Lenari. The combined army is led by the human Lord Commander Seltyin, also known as the Cold One, and seconded by the elf Commander Anami. Despite tough opposition from the Lenari, they appear to be winning the war against them, with only one city left for them to destroy before they can return home. And then stuff happens, and everything goes to hell.
