Nanowrimo, I love trying to write 50k words in 30 days every November. I usually fail but there's great camaraderie and a year long build up

- wallacoloo 8y agoI've found my way into a vaguely similar group lately. Fairly even split of writers, artists, readers, and people passionate about typesetting. Some people use it for help in editing, or proof reading, etc. But the most interesting thing the group does is to take stories in an existing digital format (could be something somebody there wrote, or more frequently something that was written elsewhere but shared in this group), make cover and/or chapter art for the book, typeset it, and then crowd-fund a small printrun. Sometimes whoever deals with the actual logistics of the printing and shipping will throw in something extra. In one case, the story was centered around a musician, and the guy who shipped the books also included an audio CD with his interpretation of the songs the character would have performed. In another case, there have been riddles and puzzles included on the first or last pages.
