Welcome to NONoWriMo.org, the website for "Not the Official Novel Writing Month." This site is not affiliated with the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) organization, whose website can be found at nanowrimo.org.
The table below contains links to regional monthly-novel-writing groups that are unaffiliated with, or have divested from, the official NaNoWriMo organization. The list is currently hand-managed, so it may take a day or two after form submission for groups to be added to this page.
While we love the idea of National Novel Writing Month, we're pretty fed up with what the organization behind it is doing. We're currently actively developing an alternative site, focused on the values and community focus that made NaNoWriMo great, but without the negative sides the organization has brought to the table.

Twine is a tool for building interactive, nonlinear stories that are implemented as web pages. It uses a combination of a graphical editor (which lets you create discrete passages and hook them together (it also generates flowchart-like graphs of passages to help you keep track of the structure)) and an HTML compiler on the back end. Includes a simple scripting language to add state and conditionality to the story. If you can write a couple of pages, you can build interactive fiction that you can play in a web browser with this tool. Uses Tiddlywiki-like markup syntax.
