First things first: It is very unlikely that I will win this years NaNoWriMo. My priority is university right now and I will have like a million exams at the end of November. Ok actually there will be two exams, not a million, but I have three courses for which I need to do weekly assignments and two of the courses have mid-term exams or whatever you want to call them at the end of November.
Still I will try to write a few lines whenever I actually will have some time. So if I write 10,000 words I did great, if I write 20,000 I did amazing, anything above 25,000 will be considered a miracle. Should I win I probably built a time-bubble just in time.
What am I going to write?
Actually since everybody keeps telling me my style fits YA (I sadly have to say I guess no one actually meant that as a compliment ever...) I will try YA for a change. Let's see just how dark it can get before crossing the line to whatever...
The genre won't be sci-fi for a change although of course there will be certain elements and after a while they most likely will take over... you know me...
It will be a kind of alternate-history-fantasy-kind-of-thing.
I intended to write this suffrage-Titanic-drama but I'm a sucker for steampunk and ether pirates and now we will see what the result will be. It turned alternate history pretty fast...

Will I win my bet?
Beware: SPOILERS!!!
Interesting, first I thought there are far less events missing to the story than I expected. So I thought: Wow, maybe only about 15 very very long chapters and I'll be done.
But now, working on the second of the new chapters I realize that the same thing as always happen when I think there is not that much to tell: New storylines emerge.
So Lisa is approched by a death eater. Who would have guessed, but I should have known that mysterious guy can't be a simple member of the Ministry.
And then we have this strange object Harry encounters on the Astronomy tower and suddenly Sinistras loyalties are questions.
And I think this is just the beginning, since I realized it is time for Katie and Oliver to return to Hogwarts and fight the army of the Ministry with their friends.

Harry Potter Fanfiction
I have decided to finish the Harry Potter Fanfiction I started many years ago once and for all. I even made a bet out of it. So by Aug, 25th 2012 it has to be done.
It's amazing what ideas flow into my mind after reading the whole story which has over 400000 words so far.
While I'm planning one big showdown I already started picturing the next one. It's going to be pretty hard on many of the characters I really grew fond of. A lot of unexpected things are going to happen and many of them are really really cruel.
But there are going to be good things too. At least I hope so.
So here are some mild spoilers for the next few chapters: (not in chronological order)
- Civil war has already started. We will see not only what it does to Hogwarts but also to Hogsmeade and other magical villages and of course London.
- Characters belonging either to Dumbledore's Army, the Order of the Phoenix or the London Group are going to die or will be imprisoned in Askaban.
- An unexpected visitor from Australia will shake things up a little and we will start to question what we thought were facts.
- The bug has a plan and Ginny will not be disappointed unlike her mother.
- Harry will face Ginny and she will find out what he has done.
- Molly will find out what her husband has done to save Percy.
- We will see if Percy is even alive. We will also find out what happened to Penelope.
- We will find out more about Reynaud.
- Rabastan is not gone for good. But I guess you didn't expect him to give up his plan of torturing and killing his beloved second cousin Hermione.
- We will find out if Lavender is pregnant or not.
- We will find out if Daphne's unborn child was harmed when she was brutally attacked by a member of the ministry.
- We will find out if Padma and Su are going to live or die.
- The goblins and former-house-elves now (free) elves will play major roles as expected.
- Rhonda and Narcissa will have a meaningful conversation.
Enough said. I'd link it, but it is in German so yeah, it was probably useless to even mention the whole stuff. But it helps me ;)
