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.
