Oh... there was one year - I was unemployed for the first time in awhile (certainly the first time it had coincided with trying to do NaNo) and I'd gotten to 50,000 words a couple years in a row. The above mentioned friend had talked me into original fiction, but kadollan wanted me to right HP next gen alongside the story she was writing... silly me, I was all like "well, if I can do NaNo when I'm working full time, surely I can do two separate novels if I'm unemployed!"

Suffice it to say, by the second or third week, Scorpius Malfoy developed a secret desire to be a novelist and forced Rose to read his rather terrible attempt at a muggle fantasy novel. Yay frame stories for the win! (And last year's attempt at regency romance devolved into HP Feels and Snippets, because fail.) So yeah, no word count police. ;)
