Hi, Yes, Iā€™d like to participate again. Just to clarify, the story doesnā€™t have to be written in Scrivener, does it? Iā€™m asking because Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™ll have my computer with me on that day. Oh, I can probably use the iOS version, canā€™t I? Btw lots of people in a Facebook Scrivener group said they would have been interested in taking part in June 2017, but they didnā€™t know about this event. ---

Rog - if there are still available chapters, I would live to participate again. I did NIAD 1 ā€“ have had rotten luck being available last FIVE years! (not certain how that is possible). Let me know if I am allowed back into the sandbox šŸ˜ƒ Liz Mead ---

Liz! Yes, of course youā€™re allowed back! So glad youā€™re able to take part! ~~ Jacqueline, You donā€™t need to use Scrivener if you donā€™t want to (but Iā€™m honour-bound to advise it, given how awesome it is!)ā€¦ although not having a computer might be a problem! Youā€™ll need to be able to receive, open and read a pack of electronic documents, and of course you need to write / type your chapter and email that to me. If youā€™re comfortable doing all that on your mobile, then thatā€™s fine. Would you like me to email you one of last yearā€™s packs (unless you still have the email from last time) and you can see how it looks / works on your device? Oh and thanks for the headsup on the FB group - was that the official Scrivener page? ~~ Shift, Iā€™ve sent you a private message on the forum with the next steps! ~~ Everyone else, welcome back! ---

I think I shall give NiaD a pass this year. Itā€™s a little too close to the start of NaNoWriMo, and I will be lining up background research for that, and essentially setting up all the stuff that goes into the briefs for all the chapters of NiaD. And I shall be doing it for something I want to write, a story that engages me, big-time. Sure, one chapter isnā€™t much to write, but itā€™s likely to be too big a jump for me. in terms of my mental state. Perhaps I will be expecting to walk past uniformed thugs as my characters return to 70 WilhelmstraƟe in Berlin. Maybe a flying boat has an endless line of thunder-heads in view, and not enough fuel in the tanks to turn back. Or maybe a European cavalry officer, his country disintegrated by the aftermath of war, rides into a Colorado mining town to face down a white-hooded crowd with one of the new-fangled European guns that shoots more than the expected six times. Things are going to happen, and I donā€™t want to chance the distraction. ---

Hi @pigfender, The Facebook group is called Scrivener Users. Itā€™s a closed group but I expect theyā€™d let you join. šŸ˜‰ The members are all obsessed with Scrivener and how to use it. I think Iā€™ll be able to write the chapter using Scrivener iOS on my phone and email it from there. Last June, I opened your attachment with the details using an android tablet, but Iā€™ve just tried using my phone to open it, and it works! If thereā€™s a problem nearer the time, Iā€™ll let you know. ---
