So I haven't been here in a while and when I did, I didn't talk politics. But NaNoWriMo doesn't care about the community and it is making me just mad enough that I have to say something.

The way they're handling this situation is fucked up. Should the woman who started this get fired? Yes! Should we punish the moderators? Sure! Why not? Fire every single one for all I care! All of this could have been solved entirely if they had just put in a block button and gotten rid of the moderators entirely! It's likely that last year's NaNo still would have been ruined but we would have had forums for Camp April and a guarantee of having forums for Camp July and for this year's NaNo. Instead, this has dragged on for over 6 months now because NaNo can't pull their heads out of their ass.

They have blocked off all of the ways the community could speak to them directly, tech support has stopped answering questions, and there is no end to this in sight. I know I can't be the only one who has lost any faith I had in them; something that wouldn't have happened if they had dealt with this in a reasonable, swift fashion when it became a problem.

I don't know what NaNoWriMo is doing but whatever it is, it isn't out of love for the community because if they gave one shit out the community then this problem would have been solved by now and this would be a sad blip in the rearview mirror. this would allow us to still talk to them. Tech support would still be answering questions. So I don't know what they are doing this for, virtue signaling or power tripping or politics, but it's not for the community. I never gave any donations before although I had thought about it but now, now that they've shown themselves to be untrustworthy, I can't imagine anyone who would give money to them. If anyone knows of a good replacement for the community that NaNo has destroyed then please, I need to know about it because, at this point, I doubt they're going to fix it.

tag something that would turn you off of your favorite media

#the characters making decisions that anyone with two brain cells would realize was a bad decision #then being shocked when it doesn't work and everyone is mad at them #an unreasonable amount of forced drama #no communication/miscommunication #secondhand embarrassment #i can't handle the secondhand embarrassment

put in the tags a song you love but can’t listen to because it’s too real

#Cinderella by Mass Anthem #i can't think about this song without crying #i didn't get it as a kid #i get it now #i'm serious i'm tearing up right now just thinking about it

So I made a little writing challenge for myself. I'm going to write 1,000,000 characters by the end of the year. This works out to about 153,846 to 200,000 words for the year, 12,820.5 to 16,666.67 words a month, and 421.5 to 547.9 words a day (420.3 to 546.5 words a day this year since this year is a leap year). I'm going to live blog it because why not. If anyone knows a good website for keeping track of a character goal instead of a word count goal, I would love to know about it.
