OK!
(Great pun, BTW)
Speaking of teasing…
wait. how? when?
You can start your journey to acquiring shirts (and hoodies, sweatshirts, and mugs, if you are so inclined)… here.
Nice. 
Questions:
Is the non-blue black or grey?
Secret t is still secret?
It’s grey, although it is a darker grey. I’ve only got a blue one myself at the moment but the grey is on it’s way!
Yes, I’ve not made a second t design yet (and may never do so; I haven’t managed to get myself happy with it yet).
I must be psychic. I’ve had an overwhelming urge to check in w/NIAD. Yay! T-Shirts.
Badgered? How so? Hmmmm. 
Is it too early to start a thread for NIAD 2015? I’m here, ready - fingers poised over the keys - and waiting for my packet.
Is that it! 
Nothing a bit more risqué … or to quote Le D: "How you say, 'Oolalaaaa … non … oui? 
Sorry, Vic. Those’d be a special order.
Redbubble (the people who make the shirts) have just announced a flash sale… 20% off stuff all across their site (which include the NiaD merch) for the next few hours. Use the coupon REELDEAL to claim.
I’ve been holding off because the Aussie price reflects our falling dollar, so when I read “20% off stuff” I thought “Now’s my chance!”*. Alas, “Coupon expired.” 
If only I’d been able to go online last night…
[size=85]Because Australia is, as you know, entirely peopled with criminals* we don’t pay full price.
**At least according to Vizzini in The Princess Bride, and he was a genius. [/size]
You looking for a NiaD version of this?
You know something’s not right in the world when vic-k seems circumspect by comparison. 
[size=150]BUNTING!!
Bloody brilliant! I would never’ve thought of that [/size]
Well done Bob
Vic
THAT’S RIGHT! I’d forgotten that it was you that started all this.
Yes, it’s too early. But maybe soon.
For early warnings of these things, there’s a new Twitter feed for NiaD stuff: @novelinaday
Twitter? Really? Vic-k is technically challenged enough as it is.
I’m not but twitter person (never actually used it … ever … for anything…) so I will miss bird brained communications unless they are here too…
You won’t miss announcements – all that will continue to be part of this community for as long as Keith and Co let me 
– although you might miss this sort of engaging chatter:
Wait… NiaD in Spanish?
Didn’t you complain about doing it in english last year? And the year before? And the one before that? And …
Actually, that would be cool. I hope you get enough for several languages. Maybe you can do one in American and Hicklish. I’m good for that last one.
All the references to this fella[size=200]^[/size] 
Is it a play on words, as in ‘faster than s**t of a shiny shovel?’

Never having taken part in a Niad, if I bought one of these shirts, and (as Jaysen seem to be contemplating), stood in the middle of the village shopping promenade, wearing nowt else, and the law came along and arrested me … what could I be charged with? Would I be charged, as one would rightly assume, with gross indecency, which in this case is a euphemism for invoking a heightened state of sexual arousal and all but insatiable lust in the ambient female population, and excruciating, palpable jealousy, masking barely concealed wannabeism in the nearby males.
As aforementioned, not having earned the moral right to assume the mantle of a Niader, by actually taking part … could I be be charged with some kind of copy writeish violation/plagiaristic deviancy, in a quest for undeserved admiration and pedestalisation. Or wot!
In grateful anticipation of your help and guidance, my thanks.

Vic-k,
The moral dilemma is not so difficult to overcome. For, I declare, there is none. I can prove, with out doubt to anyone, that you have participated in more than one NiaD. To wit:
- 2013 : you provided much encouragement to the participants via the forum. All evidence is in the forri.
- 2014 : you read the resultant work. Again, evidence it in the forri.
Those are the once I can personally attest to.
I therefore declare Vic-K a participant in the NiaD.
Also, Piggy put a lot of effort in to those shirts. Why else would they have taken 6 months to produce? You should support him.
But please, remember to … support yourself … in public. There are some things that age and gravity should not do to people. No need to ruin the hopes of the young.
Indecent, yes… But ‘gross’ is a bit hard on yourself. I’m sure Mrs-K would be happy to so testify.
As for the moral rights, y’got no problems there. If you like the design, and don’t mind having random attractive people of your own personal sexual preference staring at your chest admiringly in public and maybe introducing themselves*, then THIS IS THE SHIRT FOR YOU.

- not guaranteed
Seriously, two important things to consider: 1) anyone can buy it. It’s not just for participants, it’s for anyone who feels any affiliation to the event or the design. 2) no one should feel obligated to buy one. I’m not holding stock, and have no investment to recover or anything like that.
