Greetings Wrimos!

This is the swap you need to join to participate in our Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014, online write-in.This is our third year of hold this NaNoWriMo event!

How it works

Join the swap. Please don't delay in this step. I need to know exactly who is in the swap because there are items I need to snail mail to all participants before the write-in. These are items that you'll need during the event and they need time to get to international participants.

We have word wars and a few games, and there are prizes!

Chat below. Post your NaNo name below. Feel free to chat about NaNo leading up to the write-in day.

Come write-in

Our actual event takes place from 3 p.m-5 p.m (U.S Eastern time) in the NaNoWriMo Swapping Group Forum. (New to the format? See the 2013 thread for how it works.)

We hold the write in at this time in order to accommodate as many group members as possible. It's very early a.m. for Australia/New Zealand, but afternoon, midday for others and not too late evening for Europe.

I will create the thread for the actual write-in a couple of days before the event.

How do I rate my partner?

This is basically an electronic swap. Rate your partner a 5 after he/she signs in to the event on the write-in thread with a hello message.

If you'd like to snail mail your partner a NaNo greeting, feel free. But that is not required.

You DO NOT have to stay the entire two hours. You can come write-in as long as you'd like. But you DO need to post a hello at some point during the event to be rated a 5.

Other Questions?

If you have other questions, post below. We'll talk/chat here UNTIL the write-in begins.

RECAP:

Join swap. Post NaNo name below. On Sunday, Nov. 16 from 3-5p (US Eastern) log in to Swap-bot and go to the group forum of the NaNoWriMo Swapping group. Write during the cyber write-in.

Electronic. International. Group membership.

My NaNo is also luke1133, same as here and Yahoo and Blogger and Etsy and... My real name is Cheryl (I'm not a guy) - Luke is a book in the New Testament - it's surprising how many folks don't realize that. I'm glad I didn't pick a user name from Zephaniah or Habakkuk!!

My Swap-Bot name is Cacen. I'm housebound so won't be making it to any write ins physically so I'm more than happy to get to know some writers here and chat about our projects. Feel free to message me on here or on NaNo website.

My username is Jessiebean14. Does anybody know how I can figure out what time 3-5pm EST is here in South Africa? :) I'm getting conflicting info on Google and I just want to be sure :)

Artistic 11/ 3/2014 #

I'll check and get back to you Jessie.

3 p.m.Eastern U.S. is 10 p.m. in Johannesburg.

Not sure which of the five large cities on the converter your town is near so i just used Johannesburg as the default.

Hope you can join us!

We have a great group of swappers here. Remember, you don't have to send your partner anything (unless you're just dying to). You'll rate your partner for signing in on the write in thread in the group forum. I'll create that thread a couple of days before the writein begins.

I have packets to go out to each of you. They will post tomorrow. Be sure to have it handy on the 16th.

Partners are assigned. Go look, then get back to that 1667 goal!

Please go to the Cyber Write-in 2014 thread on the Group Forum. Our Sunday, Nov. 16 event will be held there.

ChronicKatie 11/15/2014 #

You are so awesome @artistic !! My packet arrived last week (in the UK) and I was so touched by everything you included. I'm sorry I'm only just letting you know now, but I haven't been very well recently so S-B has been neglected. I'm very excited for the write in tomorrow though. Thanks again for all your hard work.
