My most productive writing (and my highest quality writing) has been done in a social setting, be that academically (college & university writing workshops), when I was writing with The Art Garden (a "literary magazine for the stage"), and the brief period when I was writing original fairy tales on commission (before I realized I couldn't manage making it a business).
I'd just about forgotten about NaNoWriMo, until I saw a post on Tumblr about their stance on A.I., and got all nostalgic about the good side of social writing. So: Poll Time:

What they should really do is stop treating corporations as "partners."
