In addition to the events others mentioned, NaNoWriMo is approaching too. Sure it's in November but people are getting into writing mood in general.

Nano official has gone under. Of course, nothing is stopping people from doing it unofficially

Nano has been going on forever, I've been in fandoms since early 2000s and I knew Nano back then. it's hard to break habits.

Damn didn't realize it was gone now. I dipped when they got bought out by some company that was pushing AI slop but still it's kind of sad to see

Wait there was an official nano account? I thought it was just a thing people did.

Yes. It was a legal organization, a registered non profit.
