The United States::Indiana::Indianapolis NaNoWriMo region consists of the city of Indianapolis and the greater metropolitan area.

History

The Indianapolis region has existed formally since the dawn of time. Longer that your region, I'm sure. We're cool like that.

In 2011, the addition of a Facebook group made Indy's members much more active, and the group began meeting post-November to organize other writing events and continue moral support for writing.

Indiana Short Story Writing Week 2012

Indiana Short Story Writing Week February 19th - February 26th. Meetings locations and times to be announced. "winning" is having a complete short story of 2,000 - 5,000 words in that week's time, rough or polished.

Quirks

  • The Indianapolis Nanowrimo group is fondly known as Nindy (a conjunction of Nanowrimo and Indy)
  • Nindy is still looking for a mascot, but the current favorite is a cyborg

Municipal Liaisons

Present

  • Legion
    • In 2014, the most high and honorable Arilan stepped down from the lofty position as ML, and the rest of Nindy collectively forgot to sign on a replacement. Lacking a leader, Nindy crowdsourced the Municipal Liason's duties through its Facebook group page, organizing write-ins, kick-off and TGIO parties, and the annual Nanoween party.

Past

  • Arilan (2010-2014)
    • Arilan is a 20-something year old (a quarter of the way to dead, as she says), let-me-out-of-college-already future librarian with an obsession with cosplay and a strange habit of dyeing her hair a new color every 3-4 months. She is the keeper of the stickers, the knower of knowledge, and the first line of defense in all things Nano Related.
  • orange_yarn (???-???)
  • ???
    • They were eaten by Dinosaurs. Indy is a tough city, people.
