Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Novel Novel November (or, NovNovNov)

Novel (as in new) Novel (as in book)

The term I've been using.

This term is hereby gifted to the Fediverse in full libre with copyleft methodologies, and is proposed as a replacement for the term NaNoWriMo for the November novel writing movement.

and you have to grow a moustache for the month, if it catches on we'll say it's for men's health charities or something

bonus: can just clip that bit from Bohemian Rhapsody as a theme song

Sure, if you'd like. The term belongs to you, too.

@bitofhope
Or "Nitrate", which is somewhat fitting for something that helps ideas come to fruition.

Works for me. I've been using NovNovNov, but the term and concept behind it is yours, too, and if Nitrate makes more sense for you and your circles, by all means.

@01189998819991197253 Oh thanks but I wasn't planning to do anything with it, it was just an off-the-cuff musing on the name.
Up for grabs if anyone wants to use it.

Fully in the spirit of the copyleft of the original : )

Love it!
