I don't see any harm in posting as a character as long as posts stay OOC :)

By the way it really makes me happy to see how many people are using this challenge to write fanfiction!!

I decided to go with my penname and put links to my characters involved in this story. I'm approaching this as a writer, not immersing myself into the character. XD.

Interestingly, on Tolkien Forums, I reconnected with a guy who wrote middle-earth fanfics on the 'Scriptorium of Imladris' forum on the old One Ring . com when a username very similar to the one I remembered shared them there. I had read three of his fanfics he shared there in 2008 when I was 14, and I remember discussing writing styles on the thread. He and others were quite inspiring, and it got me started on my middle earth fanfic journey. :)
Sort of kind of unrelated to the group but...
Realizing a long-time friend is writing a massive fanfiction right after the hype of this challenge inspired me enough to write a 7,7k words long fight scene, in one sitting, in the span of a single night...
Thank you, friend. Thank you, Claine. Thank you Write-A-Thon challengers...
😭 😭 😭
Aaaa I'm so glad to hear!!! I hope this November is fun and productive for you 💪💪
Ehehe I'm excited. A fairly prolific American fantasy author is giving a presentation about writing in my home city. I've already read and enjoyed all his books too, so of course I booked a seat :D

(I don't want to say who, or at least not yet, because I don't want to doxx myself)
Idk that gave me a real solid guess! But because that's how I've heard of a specific author referred to as a lot. Obviously there's more than one.

But. I'm excited for you I can't wait to hear who it is or how it went!
Hahah I kind of doubt you've guessed. It's neither GRRM nor Brandon Sanderson!!
Correct 😆

To be fair I'm very new to both authors so I knew I may very easily be wrong. I still do hope you'll share when the time comes. :)
