Rules
Every day, I will have the word posted here, as well as a running log of all past words
for your reference. Alternately, you can follow the updates on
Merriam Webster's website.
wwwwGeneral Rules
● This should be obvious but you
m u s t follow Gaia ToS .
● Another obvious one: treat everyone in this thread with respect .
● Have a question? Post it in the thread! I'm happy to help.
● I have the right to
penalize those who refuse to follow any of the rules.
● I also reserve the right to change and add rules as I see fit.
wwwwGiveaway Rules
● Post the participant form [below] in the thread.
● If you win a prize, you have
one week to claim it. After that, I'm canceling the trade.
●
Notify me when you hit the 50,000 word mark, using the form [below].
● Do not plagiarize. Another obvious one.
● And one last obvious guy: Do not cheat by using something already written.
wwwwWord of the Day Rules
● Every day of NaNo, use
Merriam-Webster's word of the day (WotD) at least once in your novel.
●
Variations of the word are acceptable (plural, different part of speech, etc.), so long as the meaning is the same.
●
If the word is not used correctly in your sentence, it will not count toward your total. I have the final say on whether or not it was used correctly, though you may contest my decision via PM.
● The WotD must be used in context for you to get a point. Your MC professing, "Man, the (WOTD) sucks!" Will not be a point. Use the definition of the word, not just the word itself, in your sentence.
● Going back to
use missed words is acceptable, should you take a day off, or join late.
● Post the
sentence in which you used each WotD here on the thread,
using the form below, and I will keep a tally next to your info in the list of how many word challenges you have completed successfully.
● Use all the words, win prizes! There may be smaller prizes for those who don't quite make it there, depending on how successful we all end up being.
