good morning, cyberspace!
‘Tis I, the Kenzie, coming at you with the ONE POST we’ve been waiting for all month.
We’ve been writing. . .
We’ve been slaving. . .
We’ve been preparing ourselves
for this very moment.
And now, without further ado, it is finally time for me to announce the dares that you — you glorious, magnificent, beautiful writer-folk of the internet — have sent in for the NaNoWriMo Dare Squad.
And I must say, my friends, the dares this year are phenomenal. I loved last year’s dares, of course. Please don’t get me wrong. But these. . . Aha.
These are actually making me just a tiny wee bit nervous.
So without any further delay, it is my greatest honor to present to you. . .
— THE OFFICIAL NANOWRIMO DARE SQUAD DARE BOARD —
ACK! Don’t those just look absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS???? Aren’t you just itching to fail your goal simply so that you can do one of these marvelous dares?
Aha. Me too. (*cough*more of that on Saturday*cough*) However, although I know that there’s a happy little handful of us already buckling down to submit ourselves to the unfortunate yet certain death that awaits us on November 30th, I also know that there are a fair few among us who have seriously pounded out those words this month to complete their goals. And — since I am nothing if not a delightful, sympathetic overlord alien human — I have taken it upon myself to understand that, now that the dares have been revealed, those smol winners out there are going to be quite saddened by the fact that they, too, will not be able to partake in this most glorious of daring.
And so, in true Kenzie fashion, I have designed a way so that everyone can participate in the fun come the end of November!
*initiate much cheering*
*and also sobbing*
*and one man screaming*
Ladies and gentlemen, peasants and royals, mushrooms and marshmallow fronds, as a final twist of the day, please allow me to present to thee a sneak peak of the thing you’ve all been anxious for — the twist that anyone who participated in last year’s dare squad has been waiting on with bated breath and much fingernail-gnawing. . .
— THE NANOWRIMO DARE SQUAD WINNER’S BOARD – a sneak peak —
And there you have it, folks! The NaNoWriMo Dare Squad Winner’s Board. The rest of the board will be revealed in my final post on November 30th, so make sure to come back then and see the horrors that await you! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA–HACK!
And also that’s pretty much all I’ve got to reveal for today, so that’s basically it for this smudge. Aha. #shortpostsareshort.
(also i’m really hoping the winners don’t hate me for this, ahahahahahahahaha #i’msorry)
TALK TO ME, PEASANTS!
And that’s all I’ve got for today, folks! How is your NaNo treating you thus far? Are you right on top of your wordcount, or are you falling a smidgen behind? (i wrote 3,000 words on Friday, but I hardly wrote anything over the weekend, so I need to start catching up again today. urgh.) Are you well on your way to becoming a NaNoWriMo Dare Squad winner, or are you — like me — planning on failing miserably and partaking in the glorious dares awaiting us come December? And if you’ve already won the Dare Squad, will you forever hate me for potentially giving you an untimely death along with all us losers, or do you trust in your dice-rolling abilities enough to come out on the other side unscathed? What are your absolute best guesses as to which Squadian sent in which dare?? (the darers will all be revealed for good on the 30th, but until then, we’re gonna keep it anonymous. because fun.) and most importantly of all. . .
WHICH OF THE DARES IS YOUR ABSOLUTE FAVORITE??? (a.k.a. which one makes you feel absolutely nauseous just thinking about having to do it. ahahahahahahaha. EVERYTHING IS FINE, FOLKS.)
Let’s talk about ALL OF THE THINGS!! down in the comments below, my friends! And as always, until next time. . .
*flings cookies in the air and disappears*
I’m still reeling from this years dare that you completed, Kenzie ;D

I think the scariest is number 4, but number 5 and 7 sound hilarious (I think I’m 100% certain who wrote number 5…Hello, Kate…). And 6, and…
And ooooh, I like that we won’t know what the winner’s board is until the end. :D
Especially since I completed my goal and there is a goody to look forward to!
I think Kenzie wrote 9…She has all the death prompts. xD
Keep writing, Squadians! :D

Number four is definitely terrifying. I was telling my mom and brother about this one, and my brother already claimed his spot for writing the blog post if I get that one. Aha. *dies* (YOU DON’T KNOW IT’S KATE, JETHAN. YOU DON’T KNOW. XD)
I’m so excited for the winner’s board this year. There’s one in particular that has me cackling with glee every time I look at it… XD
Not sure if I’m supposed to tell you this or not (are there rules against this??), but I did NOT write number 9. *mwahahahahahahahahaha*

BWAHAHAHA! I’m equal parts curious and terrified of what would happen if your brother wrote a post for you. XD

I kind of want to do #7, though?? I mean, I’d need to get an obnoxious character [oops, just realised that terrible gap I have in my storytelling… why do I not have one already. is my story so flat that I haven’t needed one before.] But it could be fun! Number five, on the other hand… number four… and if I get number three I may stab someone. SUPPOSE I SHOULD WRITE, THEN.

Okay, but like same. XD I feel like it could be so much fun. XD And if they took over my Twitter account? PERFECTION. XD (Wait what? XD Jem! How do you not have an obnoxious character?? EVERY writer should have one!! *flings obnoxious syrup at your face*)
I feel like now is a good time to remind everyone that stabbing during the NaNo Dare Squad is semi-prohibited. Please refrain from frustrated stabbings until the first of December. Thank you. XD
I WON NANO BUT I FAILED MY DARE GOAL SO LIKE… I’m gonna have to do one of these. Please help me.

Further update for the NaNo Dare Squad: as the first of December has been reached, stabbing is no longer semi-prohibited and may be indulged in if necessary.

Continuation of further update for the NaNo Dare Squad: Now that stabbing is no longer semi-prohibited, it should also be noted that it is now extremely encouraged. Rusty pitchforks are provided at the check in desk.
