[Tarot]

With apologies for speaking too close to the mike - first time using it with my voice.

Also, you can use this thread to request your Dog Ate My NaNo medal.

[Wrenmae]

HA!

Not in this life

Not in the next

Not in the one after that.

Perfect.

Dog ate my Nano medal excuse:


My other PC got the award (Taylani) early on and I was trying to keep keep certain ST's from killing themselves over the 3 pages of solo's I posted by Taylani by becoming a Grader and grading the crap out of anything in those regions that wasn't mine?

I know flimsy excuse but there figured won't hurt to try

I meant to do NaNo this month, but I have a really good excuse, I promise! At the beginning of the month, I drove all the way across the country to celebrate NaNo with Jen and for no other reason at all. But when I arrived on her doorstep, her dog attacked me! It chased me round and round the house in circles until I finally took refuge in a tree full of cats. I surrounded myself with cats to chase away the big mean dog, but that was only a temporary measure. The dog waited at the bottom of the tree, unable to reach me, but unwilling to let me escape either. I was forced to post by carrier pigeon, which came only once every few days. Every time I thought the dog was asleep, I tried to escape, but the thing had ears like a Zith! If I moved the slightest bit it would start barking and growling! I had to rely on the cats to bring me sustenance, or I might have perished! There was nothing I could do but stay in that tree all month, until Jen came out of her NaNo frenzy to rescue me. It was a deeply traumatizing experience, and I hope you all understand why I could not possibly complete NaNo. (P.S. Jen, I apologize if I went overboard in "embellishing" the truth.)

Dog Ate My NaNo!

I got my first ever dog this month -- a twelve-year-old sheltie mix named Oreo!
Anyway, she ate up most of my NaNo time.
I mean, how can you say no to this face?

So excuses for a medal…. Time to take lessons from my boy. So earlier in the month, I injuried my back stopping me from going to work and I had to focus on taking physical therapy to get back into the normal mode of things. After a couple of weeks between the kids, therapy and work I devoted myself to an hour every other day to Miz. With a lot of hard work and patient love from the wife I was back up and moving around. By the end of the month, I even posted about 10k worth of words in the matter of a couple of days! …. … .. . Now the real reason… Shhh! Keep it between you and me. At the beginning of November the CIA contacted me. Shhhhhh! They are listening to everything! No I am serious they even gave me a picture to show you. Not those Guys! These Guys! Real agents. Tough as nails. The kind of guys that cut corners and bend rules to get things done. I mean these guys were real professionals. They gave me a mission to take a crack team of individuals and a RV and await deep in the California mountains for fear of an invasion from Russia. I had to give me teammates codenames for fear that if I knew their names then the enemy could beat it out of me. I named them… Hannibal, Face, Murdock, Psycho… and those other guys. Psycho's real name was Francis… for some reason he didn’t like it. Anyway, the ride they go us was pretty cool. Yeah I went to space… better view of an invasion force. Only problem is that I couldn’t get internet on my cell phone. So Russia invades, but we were so good that they only took one McDonalds in Oakland. Poors guys didn’t even realize that they were underpacking for the neighbor. After the invasion we contracted a local street gang to take charge of the clean up. I think they are going to be just fine…

Stripes, another movie featuring SNL actor. Spaceballs, because I am that kind of crazy. Red Dawn, every teenager male must see movie. And finally Warriors… Come out to Plaaaaayyyyyyyy!

Dog ate my NaNo Excuse(This also applies for Sekai and Shirayuki)

I was going down the streets, burning rubber as fast as possible, tires at critical pressure, making U turns, dodging others on the road! I found a unused path, so I shot down, going so fast, until I ran over a nail, and spun out, blowing out my tires, and getting BUUUUUUURRRRRRNOOOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTSSSS!!! I was no where near any shops, and my respawn timer was taking too long, and I had just used my last 'Zero Respawn Ticket'! I kept running towards the nearest shop, but I was distracted to often by ageless times and gunships! I couldn't even make it to the end of the race, and was labelled as DNF...

Translation :

Or, to translate, I burned out writing solos, and had a hard time catching back up, thanks to anime and gaming marathons.

You asked for it, so here it is!

Anyway, my (real, obviously) excuse is:

I was too busy dealing with an invasion of scatologist demons from Fallen Equestria, where the ponies had been overrun and captured by bronies from another dimension.

Pretty exciting, no?
