National Novel Writing Month
I've done NaNoWriMo several times before, mostly to add chapters to a very long involved and unending Ranma 1/2 fan fiction story I started years ago. This year I decided to do something different -- I had about 8 stories written about a character named Grandpa Anarchy that I first created in City of Heroes. For NaNoWriMo, my goal was both to write 50,000 words and to start and complete 1 new Grandpa Anarchy story a day. They tend to be very short and usually are just a setup, scene, funny characters and lines and a punchline of some sort -- not an actual plot. Just scenes from the life of an old man who's been fighting crime for many many years, and who seems to have a different sidekick for every mission.
As of today I'm at 45,361 words (still need to finish the story I'm working on today) and have started 27 stories and completed 20 of them. Quality varies but my plan is to eventually edit them and self-publish a book. Even if I only publish one copy for myself it's not that expensive to do these days, just takes work. ^_^

So I have been meaning to write a story about CoH, and also meaning to participate in National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org/). This year, with CoH closing, I was pushed to finally create the characters for my story, and to use it as the idea for a NaNoWriMo idea.
