Huh. I was wondering about this "username" business, and then went off to the site, and was taken aback to discover that these people seem to be claiming--backed up by the Wikipedia article--that they invented this thing in 1999. I first heard about it from Adam Pasquella in Clark Hall Pub at Queen's University, and I haven't been there since 1996. And it wasn't an interweb thing then. May not have been called NaNoWriMo, but I'm actually fairly confident it was. The idea was the same, anyway.

Er, strike that, probably. [livejournal.com profile] tetsab suggests that I'm thinking of a novel-in-a-weekend thing, which seems about right.
