FanWriMo: Can this be a thing? | December

Note: I don't know if this is already done, excuse me if this already is (I searched on google and it doesn't seem like there is). I only claim to my idea and credit to NaNoWriMo for this inspiration.

Yes, this is a parody off of NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month in November. If you don't know what that is, I recommend you check out the website dedicated to this: http://nanowrimo.org/ 

Now don't get me wrong, NaNoWriMo, although I've never participated in it before, sounds awesome. Problem is, a) I don't have enough time because of school (eww) and b) I'm also a fanfiction writer, which,  by the way my link is https://www.fanfiction.net/~tennisbunnyrox if ya wanna check me out. *wink* Not to mention other reasons such as not enough inspiration, motivation, blahblah.
Plus, I haven't updated in almost a year (oops) and I thought that joining in on NaNoWriMo would not help my situation.

I was inspired to come up with FanWriMo or Fanfiction Writing Month. A month dedicated to fanfiction writing.
Here is some basic information (has some similarities with NaNoWriMo's):
  • Anybody can participate! You just have to write fanfiction! Experience also doesn't matter. 
  •  Takes place from December 1-December 31 annually (because you can start of a new year with writing!)
  • Minimum Word Count: 50,000 words by the end of month. That's approximately 1,613 words per day.
  •  You do not have to write 50,000 words of one particular fanfiction. Spread it around if you want.
  • Recommendation: Start planning what you want to write in November before you go on this fanfiction maranthon (I understand that people may not want to participate in this because of NaNoWriMo, which happens in the month before, which is unfortunate but ayyy, December is the month of breaks and vacation-time mostly.)
  • ANYTHING! Literally! Any category of fanfiction! In any language! From any country! Post it on any hosting website! Or don't post it at all; that's perfectly fine. I ain't yo momma. 
  • You can also write by hand or with the help of technology. Also, buddy-writing is pretty cool.
I created a tumblr blog for this! So follow me if you like. :)

If you are interested in participating or helping with this event please comment, message me on any of my social media links (on the About Me page)!

So does anyone else think that this is a good idea? Please do give me some feedback!

Also, I want this to become a thing. I would love if anybirdie else could help me out! 

Have a great day!
