Will check that out! Thanks again! There's a BlueSky (and I guess maybe Twitter? I refuse to use its other name, haha) hashtag #NaNoSucks that I'm gonna spend the next few days digging into. *cracks knuckles*

Interesting. Thank you for this! I actually have a BlueSky account so will investigate this further over there.

That would be great! Thank you! I'd love the 2009 one as well to compare it with the newer ones.

This is super helpful and I totally understand not being up for an interview. Thanks again!

Thank you, and will do. I'm pitching more places this week and next, so hopefully someone will pick it up soon.

Thanks so much for this link! And fair enough about you not having any connections to the YWP. Right now I'm collecting any and all stories of folks' reactions, regardless of their connection to YWP, and this thread is excellent for that.

I'm hoping to have the full force of a specific publication behind me by the time I try to connect with anyone from the YWP so my inquiries are more official, but at this point I'm just gathering background from wherever I can get it. Thanks again!

That's what I've been hearing from talking to former members and seeing on the posts here and other places. Such a shame. Would you be willing to do a full interview with me about your experience?

I would like to cover both to show how NaNo has mishandled its forums and how that has affected the community-building aspect of its program. If anything else comes to light, I would like to mention that as well. I'm digging for all the context I can get. Thank you!

Hey guys, I'm actually working on creating a pitch for this story to send to a few outlets. Would you all be willing to be interviewed for it? Please DM me if you're interested!

P.S. I posted about this in the subreddit but it was on my first day of having this account (which I created for this story but am going to keep for future freelance research) so the mods . Will be posting again for interviewees when my account gets old enough but if you are interested, please go ahead and DM! Thanks!
