Hello,
I’ve been a participant of NaNoWriMo for six years now, and a forums participant on the Young Writer’s Program for three years.
You might be wondering what’s happening on the forums, either on the YWP or the main NaNo site.
As far as I’m aware and have been involved, we brought up some concerns about neglectful moderation behavior on the adult site. Several adults supported us, and came out with their own allegations about neglectful or abusive moderation (for example, a moderator luring teens to a fetish website, who was fired but not banned, another one posting openly about porn who is still a moderator, and similar concerns.) On the YWP, our moderators, Rob Diaz and Marya Brennan have allowed open bullying and instead tone-policed those who fought back. They have allowed predator behavior on the site in several circumstances under the statement of “it does not explicitly violate our Codes” (despite it being open predatory behavior), and Rob Diaz has said racist things to another user in response to a Thanksgiving PSA.
The Board of Directors has now said that they did not know there was a separate YWP forum in the first place.
On the YWP side of things, the forums are being shut down indefinitely, and we are awaiting another response from the Board of Directors.
Please do not donate to NaNoWriMo.
Contact local schools and make them aware of the situation, and discourage advertising the YWP to kids.
I will reblog other posts from my fellow YWP users that h give more specific details.

"A monster does what it does, and it neither seeks nor respects your opinion."
As I prepare for NaNoWriMo 2023, I am reading up on how to make good monsters. This article has lots of fantastic tidbits of advice, so I wanted to share it!

NaNoWriMo23 - An Anticipation
Tumblr media
Elevator pitch: So, it's Beauty and the Beast, except she's Cinderella and he's more interested in destroying his political rivals (befriending them will do in a pinch). Also there's a quest for the pieces of a broken sword, and the sidekick's dad was turned to stone...

I might knock out the missing hundred-something words later, but my brain and emotions need a break.
Five chapters in. Definitely behind the overall word goal, but getting to 50,000 is not really that important. It’s more the sitting down everyday (definitely had a few days with only 500 or so—you can’t force it).
I’m happy with what I’ve got so far, and even happier that one chapter just announced itself as “Pánta Rheî”, because it’s true…
But I’m also putting myself through the emotional wringer, and it’s a bit rough again.
I think I need a silly movie tonight…
