《NaNoWriMo Bootcamp》Milestone Makers Spotlight
Advertisement
We have cheered each other on with words and memes of encouragement in the #milestone-makers channel of our Discord server, and some of you shared your successes in the comment section of the Milestone Makers chapter. We hope you had as much fun watching those numbers grow as we did!
In this chapter, we want to SPOTLIGHT the successes of our participants who reached the word count milestones of 10K, 20K, 30K, 40K and 50K. You have proven to yourself that you can make the time for writing. Not only did many of you find friends and earn some cool stickers, you now have something concrete to show for your hard work.
Our admins did their best to keep track of the numbers, but it's possible we got something wrong. Please message us if you don't see your name in the right place and we will fix it.
CONGRATS to everyone who participated no matter what your numbers are. Every sentence, every word, accomplishes more than building onto a piece of work. It sparks your enthusiasm for storytelling.

The Fate Eater
What might a man really do if he found himself reincarnated into a fantasy world as a dragon prince? How would he come to terms with his new nature, his larger-than-life family, the agendas of warring factions, and the destiny he never asked for? This is a story that intends to defy some isekai tropes, but play into others. It's mainly about exploring a rich hand-crafted world, full of its own history and mysteries. Its characters have their own lives and aspirations, and our protagonist is but a piece of the greater tapestry. This story is not about right and wrong, or good and evil. It's about a dragon-man being tested by fate, power, and time. It's about what it's like to live as an outsider who lost their home. But perhaps the most central theme is freedom. What does freedom really mean? What will it cost and how much might one be willing to pay for it? Does it even truly exist? Let's find out together.

With the Power of the SUN!
My submission for the January Writing Contest POWER of the SUN is a Cells at Work-inspired comedy short story about a hydrogen atom that goes on an adventure trying to stop the sun from going out. This story contains some mild profanity and dumb hijinks, Not everything is serious throughout this story and some things will not be explained because I do not care. Enjoy the story!

Ashrennon
Rolland is lighttouched. Lighttouched aren’t allowed to wield a blade. They aren’t allowed families. They aren’t allowed to walk the streets of Ashrennon free. But they can see the truth behind people’s eyes. When Rolland leaves the Lighttouched Academy for the first time in five years, he sees a truth he wasn’t supposed to, a truth that might get him killed. Ashrennon is a coming of age epic fantasy about a city that hides its history, a people oppressed for their powers, and a boy who is forced to do the very thing he was never supposed to do—pick up a sword.

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.
