Spin-offs and related activities (admin issue) #54

Open cpressey opened 8 years ago

cpressey commented 8 years ago

Last year, there were several spin-offs of NaNoGenMo. Anticipating the possibility of this happening again, the purpose of this issue is to have a place to advertise and catalogue them and/or other NaNoGenMo-related activities.

I'll list some historical spin-offs here, and any current spin-offs or related activities can be announced in further posts on this issue.

PROCJAM 2015 starts on November 7 2015 and lasts for 9 days.

I've just created a repo for NaOpGenMo 2015. I don't know how much time I'll have to contribute or administrate it, but if, after generating your novel, you think it would make a good libretto... or if you just want to generate some music instead of some text... feel free to open an issue on it.

Do all november generative music experiments go under NaOpGenMo even if they are not truly operatic (i.e., if they omit lyrics)? Or, should generative music be it's own thing?

Some of the most interesting things in NaNoGenMo2014 were graphic novels, which of course could not meet the 50k word criterion. A NaCoGenMo with a 150 page qualification (i.e., approximately what a volume of manga from Tokyopop would contain, or a trade paperback of a DC or Marvel comic collecting part of a normal run rather than a shorter miniseries) might be interesting in of itself.

If you or Mike don't have a particular interest in hosting these, I can.

@enkiv2 That's kind of like asking if generative text experiments go under NaNoGenMo even if they are not truly in the form of a novel.

From NaOpGenMo-2015's README (unchanged from last year):

The "opera" is defined however you want. It could be 50,000 beats of middle C played on a clarinet (or, if you are the sort of person for whom an opera must include singing, 50,000 chants of "Meow!" by a tenor.) It could literally grab a random opera from Project Brandenburg The Internet Archive. It doesn't matter, as long as it's at least two and a half hours long.

OK, so all generative music experiments can go under NaOpGenMo

Here's a spinoff for comics / image-related generated art with multiple pages: https://github.com/enkiv2/NaCoGenMo

The rules are the same as NaNoGenMo, with the 50k word requirement replaced with a 150 page requirement.
