Alphasmart

Alphasmart is a company that makes portable word processors (similar to a typewriter, usually consisting of a keyboard and a small display.) They are very popular among Wrimos who don't want the distraction or the expense of a laptop. The Alphasmart Neo is the most common model seen, but this particular model is no longer produced by Alphasmart.
Nanowrimo headquarters maintained a library of Alphasmart Neos (as well as old laptops donated for Wrimo use). Originally they were loaned out to Wrimos in need from the general population, but now they are reserved for classrooms in need participating in the Young Writers Program.

Amazon Smile

National Novel Writing Month is listed as an AmazonSmile eligible non-profit organization, under the heading "Arts and Culture." Anyone who shops on Amazon can designate NaNoWriMo as their Smile charity. 
To designate NaNoWriMo as the recipient of Smile funds, shoppers navigate to smile.amazon.com and log in to their Amazon account. If it is the shopper's first visit to Smile, they will be asked to choose a charity. The shopper can type "National Novel Writing Month" into the search bar, and then choose the button to Select this as the charity. 
 
Amazon customers who have already designated a charity but wish to change it can do so at any time. 
AmazonSmile is available through the Amazon Mobile app, but must be turned on using the Settings. 
Once a shopper has designated their preferred non-profit, a portion (0.5%) of every purchase made through smile.amazon.com will be sent to that non-profit. These funds come directly from Amazon. Using Smile to send money to a charity does not cost the shopper any money, nor can the shopper use the donated funds as a tax deduction.
As of March 2021 NaNoWriMo has received over $18,000 through AmazonSmile.

American Thanksgiving

American Thanksgiving is a day set aside in November to give thanks and remember what you're grateful for. It is a known distraction during week 4. American Thanksgiving occurs on the fourth Thursday in November, which falls between November 22nd and November 28th. 
While American Thanksgiving is a U.S. federal holiday and many workers have the day off, that day off is often filled with Thanksgiving dinner and other festivities, like American football games and holiday shopping. For some Wrimos this makes Thanksgiving a less than ideal day to write; others sneak away from or avoid the activities in order to catch up on their novels. A few regions hold Thanksgiving Day write-ins for those who can sneak away from their families or who are not celebrating the holiday with family.
Since Thanksgiving is a harvest holiday and one of the most common celebrations is a Thanksgiving dinner, Wrimos may find themselves with leftovers for the next day or two. This can cut down on cooking time so the Wrimo can write more and catch up.
Other countries have similar observances in November, as well as Canadian Thanksgiving in October, so residents of other countries may also find themselves limited in their writing time that day.
Almost every year someone suggested in the Site and Message Board Feedback and Suggestions forum that NaNoWriMo take place in some other month due to non-noveling distractions like American Thanksgiving. This is highly unlikely to happen because every month is inconvenient for somebody. Camp NaNoWriMo and other unofficial NaNo-like challenges happen throughout the year, giving Wrimos a chance to do NaNo all year long.

Annual Report

An Annual Report is a report on an organization's activities over the previous year. NaNoWriMo's annual reports are designed to communicate information on the previous year's numbers, financials, and impact to Wrimos, donors, and other interested parties. NaNoWriMo has made their annual reports available to the public since 2012, and monthly donors receive a paper copy of the annual report in the mail.
Each year's annual report is designed around a different theme. The 2012 annual report's design was inspired by the Little Golden books. The 2013 annual report is a large, brightly-colored poster. The 2014 annual report appears on a set of postcards telling NaNoWriMo's story and impact for the year.
NaNoWriMo's annual reports-are released the following year; for instance, the 2014 annual report was released toward the end of 2015. This roughly coincides with the following NaNoWriMo.
NaNoWriMo did not release an annual report in 2020, citing the challenging times of 2020. They instead asked supporters to ponder what NaNoWriMo and writing meant to them. A quote sheet of why the world needed stories more than ever replaced the traditional annual report.Email from NaNoWriMo HQ. "Is writing a novel important in times like this?" Sent 7 October 2020.

Artisans

The Artisans forum (formerly NaNo Artisans until September 2019) is where Wrimos can share or request graphics such as book covers, signature banners, or word count calendars. It was formed in 2009 and is one of very few forums to be created during a NaNoWriMo season.
In previous years Wrimos would post their art or requests for art in various forums, most commonly All-Ages Coffee House and Off Topic, as there was no dedicated forum for artistic endeavors. After a suggestion posted in the Site and Message Board Feedback and Suggestions forum, the forum was created and Heather Dudley moved the previously created relevant threads to that forum. The forum has stayed on the NaNo site since then.
The Artisans forum lives within the Helpful Resources forum as of September 2019.
== Forum Description == 
"Make or find a NaNo word-count calendar, get signature banner creation help, share your fabulous art, and discuss the fine nuances of cover art generation!"

* Winner Icons, the badges or icons that Wrimos use to show they won a NaNoWriMo event

* NaNoWriMo Merit Badges, a set of physical badges once sold in the NaNoWriMo Store
==Other Previous Badges on the NaNoWriMo website==
Badges are small icons displayed on a NaNoWriMo Wrimo's profile, as well as the NaNoWriMo dashboard. There were three types of badges: participation badges, writing badges, and personal achievement badges.
These badges appear on the Wrimo's project. They previously appeared on the NaNoWriMo dashboard from their year of introduction through September 2019, when a new NaNoWriMo website design launched.
===Participation Badges===
Participation badges appeared on the NaNoWriMo dashboard in 2013. They were updated in 2014. Participation badges were not reintroduced in the NaNoWriMo website redesign of 2019.
The most recent Participation Badges included:
	You sure told us (about yourself) 	earned after filling out the author info area
	You've joined your local community	earned after joining a NaNoWriMo region
	You're buddied up 	earned after adding a Writing buddy
	You're conversating 	earned after making a post on the NaNoWriMo forums
	You're a donor 	earned after donating to NaNoWriMo
===Winner and Participant Badges===
Note: These badges were not reintroduced in the NaNoWriMo website redesign of 2019. These are different from the participant and winner icons that Wrimos can display online.
Winner and participant badges show which past years a Wrimo has participated in NaNoWriMo. These badges are displayed on the Wrimo's Author Info. A blue badge indicates participation in the given year, while a purple badges indicates the participant won NaNoWriMo that year.
Wrimos can add these badges to their profile by entering their novel info for that year and marking a win date for years won.
A halo appeared over the years that the participant donated to NaNoWriMo. However, halos earned for MLing or forum moderation in previous years do not appear.

BattleJesus

BattleJesus is an IRC bot created by Jude that times word wars. He can be found in the #nanowrimo chat room on Goodchatting as well as in some regional chat rooms.
Some of BattleJesus's capabilities include timing wars, keeping track of word counts, generating words and prompts, and maintaining a quote database for humorous (and occasionally deep) things said in a given channel.
While some of BattleJesus's commands may be used publicly, others are designed only for private messages. A few can be used in both ways.

Beta Bugger

Beta Buggers are the Wrimos who helped test out the shiny new Ruby on Rails version of the NaNoWriMo site before the move away from Drupal in October 2011, as well as beta testing the NaNo site before the site relaunch in 2012 and 2013. Beta Buggers were picked by late summer applications in both 2011 and 2012. Everyone is allowed to apply once per year.
2011 Beta Buggers can be identified by the bee icon in their profiles on the forums. They were led by Cylithria Dubois in 2011 and Heather Dudley in 2012 and 2013 . Longtime NaNo volunteer Rob Diaz is the Ticketmaster for the program.
The Beta Buggers are much loved by the NaNoWriMo staff, as shown by their mention in the Brought To You By page and the badge on individual buggers' profiles.
During the beta testing process, Beta buggers explore a beta NaNoWriMo website containing both planned new features and current features. They are to try to find a bug or bugs for as many hours as possible each day. When they find a bug, they report it in a private forum on the main NaNoWrimo Website. Rob Diaz then designates a ticket for the bug and sends a full report to the tech team so the bug can be repaired in time for the site relaunch in early October. 
Each week, Beta Buggers submit a short check in form. Anyone who does not submit this on time is immediately removed from the beta testing team. Beta Buggers can also resign of their own free will at any time. 
In 2012, there were 237 beta buggers. Even those who don't report any bugs are said to be very valuable to the experience because the attempt to find a bug, or 'break something', is still there.

Big, Fun, Scary Adventures

Big, Fun, Scary Adventures (formerly The Year of Doing Big, Fun, Scary Things Together until September 2019) is a NaNoWriMo forum for exploring new things in a new year and sharing those adventures with other Wrimos. The challenge itself is similar to making and adhering to a New Year's Resolution.
The forum was created after the NaNoWriMo 2006 season as part of The Year of Doing Big, Fun, Scary Things Together. In 2015, the post-November category containing this forum was renamed to I Wrote a Novel, Now What? and made year-round. As of September 2019, the Big, Fun, Scary Adventures forum is a subforum of Life After NaNo and is open all year long.
== Forum Description ==
"What will you explore in [year]?" (2007-September 2013)
"What will you explore in [year]? What big, fun scary adventures are you taking on? Don't wait for New Years, start now!" (December 2013-2014)
"What will you explore in the coming year? What big, fun, scary adventures are you taking on? Don't wait for New Year's, start now! Let’s tackle those dragons together." (2015-present)
== Popular Topics and Threads ==
The sticky post allows users to post big fun scary lists; however, individual threads are allowed, and some Wrimos do this instead. Threads for the more common goals will often be posted for people to come together around a single topic. Threads are often started for writing months in the off-season. Participants also usually make a monthly chat for hanging out and accountability on month-to-month goals.

Blobby

Blobby is the stuffed T. rex that lives at NaNoWriMo HQ. A Wrimo mailed Blobby from Florida to NaNo HQ in late 2010, and the staff immediately embraced him as part of the NaNo family, adopting him as the office mascot and even writing a bio for him on the Camp NaNoWriMo. The bio appeared until 2014.
According to his Camp NaNoWriMo 2012 bio, Blobby's favorite camp activities include playing tetherball (but not being the ball), sunbathing, manning the grill, and telling ghost stories around the fire. He also writes excellent postcards and makes great s'mores. Blobby is very enthusiastic and enjoys saying "GUMPO!"
Blobby usually takes lunch with Sharkie the shark puppet. He avoids the Chris Baty doll, perhaps out of intimidation. He's writing a screenplay called "Blurpy: The Adventures of My Pillow". His progress on this screenplay is unknown. Blobby's favorite season is spring.
His 2011 goal was to increase his "roar" strength .
