Hehe. I don't really plan to put mine online (or anywhere else) till it's a good deal more polished up, but I can assure you that my characters would never bark like dogs. The very idea! ;-p But, well, I padded out wordcount in other ways. About halfway through, the story suddenly develops a lot of description of minute details. Also, there isn't a single contraction used. Ever. No contractions makes for really stilted speech.

There were a bunch of NaNoers in this group. You others should speak up, even if you didn't finish. :D

Se"Do YOUR characters run in circles barking like dogs?"lah
