  - Toss in a couple "fuck"s and ham-handed jokes, and it could be a Chuck Palanhiuk novel. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 11:42
- Enjoy your shitty novel. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:38 10
  - But I'd be a winner! -- nm - mara Oct 24, 11:41 8
    - Coming across as a loser to me. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:45 7
      - Sorry, Qale, you're my bud and I have a lot of respect for your writing. I was just being sarcastic about their use of the word "winner" and didn't - mara Oct 24, 11:48 1
        
        Maybe I should have copy pasta'd their answer from the FAQ. - Qale Oct 24, 11:50

        Not in the slightest. It's just her diminishing the concept of winning at NaNoWriMo is insulting. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:47 3
        
        Oh, c'mon now. It's a little silly. Ultimately you are doing it for yourself. Their designation of "winner" is almost meaningless. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 11:50
        
        the "everyone is a winner thing" kinda sounds like crap, honestly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 11:49 1
        
        Everyone isn't a winner. You only win if you submit the 50,000 words and if you're going to just submit the same word 50,000 times, what's the point? -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:54
  - That's "The Boy Who Said 'Crap Crap Crap' 49,994 Times." - JaxSean Oct 24, 11:40
