Matt Bird MSci (Hons) AMRSC says "WdC can be really useful. I have it on my CV and most interviewers ask about it and find it interesting and unique."

Christopher Roy Denton says "Yeah, Schnujo's NOT Doing NaNoWriMo , but as soon as I said that, the poor unicorn got removed from the screen! "

Rhoswen - Relentless Victory says "WDC needs a pink fluffy unicorn emoticon"

Schnujo's NOT Doing NaNoWriMo says "Typical jealous humans... "

Matt Bird MSci (Hons) AMRSC says "OK. I'll think about which to sponsor. I might just go Fantasy. The FSFS has won a fair few awards before, and I don't think 3 Prompts will win Best Fantasy anyway. I'll send the GPs over once I've decided"

Christopher Roy Denton says "Good night, y'all! "

Elle - on hiatus says "Hawaiian and Maori are both Polynesian languages, so makes sense they're similar."

Schnujo's NOT Doing NaNoWriMo says "I didn't think about that, Elle."
