A community for National Novel Writing Month.

(https://nanowrimo.org/)

Fancy having a go at writing a novel in a month? Or just enjoy pointless literary endeavours?

Well this is a place for you.

Start on the 1st of November, and let it rip.

Rules :-

Be nice to each other, and try to keep it safe for work. And if you can't keep it safe for work, tag it as such :)

Also, if the community could be kept a politics free zone, that would be nice.

What does a banana smell like when you burn it in a toaster? What does it sound like when you stick a straw up a frogs bum and blow really hard? What does a cabbage look like when it has been sat on by an elephant? What does a lava feel like after it has been covered in liquid nitrogen?

These are all questions that no one should really be asking.

However sometimes you'll come across a question in a story that you need help with, and someone else might have the answer to.

So, give it a shot. Post your question and you never know. Someone might have the answer.

What is a good word for a group of magical spiders (actromantula)?

I know there is a collective noun for spiders, but I am trying to come up with one for magical spiders.

I mean someone came up with flange for gibbons back in the 80s. And that stuck.

Also is acromantula a collective noun or a single one? Is it acromantulas? ("They were out walking when twenty acromantulas surrounded them" or "They were out walking when twenty acromantula surrounded them"? I realise if you are surrounded by that many horse sized magical spiders it probably doesn't matter if you use the singular or plural because you're going to be dead either way but -- you know -- it's fun to speculate!)
