The WDC NanoLounge

There is a thread in the Rebels area of NaNo about whether something is considered outside the guidelines and found this:

I'm writing a collection of short stories. Am I a rebel?

Probably not. There's no actual rule on this one. We define a novel as "a lengthy work of fiction." However, we the moderators feel that since you find short story collections on the shelves alongside longer works of fiction, if they're related, they count. They need to have some common theme, or linking thread that weaves them together that makes them a single, "lengthy work of fiction."


So if I actually hit the golden number, I can validate and get a shiny certificate. Coolness!

I actually kinda like the idea of Rebel though.
