Who's doing NaNoWriMo this coming November?
Are you a planner or a pants-er? Writing a particular genre?
If enough people want to do it, I've had a lot of success setting up an irc chat for groups of novelists in terms of motivation/setting up word-wars and the like.
I'm still working on another novel, so I haven't started planning for this year's Nano, but I typically write something across the broad spectrum of biopunk/soft-scifi to horror to paranormal romance.

i'm a pantser but i wasnt able to do it last year so thus ended my three year winning streak haha me and my friend plan to maybe do a duo thing on google docs (i usd to be so strict about the rules and stuff but its senior year and high school is bleh so maybe more lax would work)

I'm a former pantser who is now a planner. Of course, I haven't started planning yet because I'm trying to finish this other story I'm working on. Then I'll plan for NaNo. I have plenty of ideas and if I run out of time, I know what story I'll write, but if I have a little more time for planning, there's another story I want to do. I generally write fantasy and sometimes I go into sci-fi a bit.

I'm definitely a planner. I'm already mapping out what I want to do for Nanowrimo 2015. Lol.
I write fantasy, mainly, though last year I did an experimental fiction thing that I actually really love.
This year I'm doing what I did two years ago and using the month to write 50,000 more words in an existing project. The novel I'm working on right now (that I'll pretty much finish during NanoWrimo) is generally inspired by Flight Rising, actually. It's definitely not a fan-fic, but it is a story about a world where dragons exist and even though the dragons in my story are WAY different from any FR dragons/the lore, etc, playing this game made me wonder what a world would look like that had dragons and people living in it, together. YAY! (spoiler alert: it's quite scary).

Ooooh and @
Punkwitch, how would you define biopunk? I LOVE the sound of that!

I've been a pantser both years I've participated this far, but since none of those have actually gone anywhere past week 2, I'm going to (try to) plan this year.
Iiiii'm definitely a fantasy baby, haha, my previous two attempts were about dragons and vampires. Thinking of reworking the dragon attempt, because I like the world I used, it just... needs actual plot instead of wandering vaguely around with no endgoal in mind.

I'm a planner, but I usually switch to pantsing halfway through. I just throw my plans out the window.

I was always so busy with schoolwork or other activities that I never got to completely NaNoWriMo until this year! I hope I can start and finish a novel in the course of a month.
Considering that I never finish anything, I think this is a good sign for me to have a deadline! Glad to see others are doing it, too.

Ooh, me! I'm hoping to finish something this year- ever since I started, I win two years and then loose a year, and since last year was my off year... I think I've got good luck on my side for this attempt! :)
I try to get some vague plans figured out before I leap into writing, but I'm more in the pants-ing camp if I'm being totally honest. It's nice to see so much enthusiasm here on the forums! :D

I'm doing it! I'm doing a prep thing the entire month of October aha, trying to figure out what I'm going to write and what I'm doing. I've done it a couple times before and won, which is nice. :3
