Dear Diary Challenge 2008 - New Topic 9/25: When to end the story?

This challenge was created last year by the_wandering-shadow. It was/is such great fun, that I think it should be done again. This time under a sock to ward of DRL, so if something happens to your current host (MsLanna) the thread will go on anyway. 
Teh Rulez:
1)
You have to keep the diary of a character for a whole year. It does not matter if it's canon cast or OC, AU, whatever. Write the diary of a droid, surprise us all. There was a diary of Yoda's Lightsabre last year. Nothing's impossible!
2)
You have to update a least twice a month. You can update as often as you want. Just remember you need to have enough story left for the rest of the year. 
3)
The length of the updates does not matter. Write a paragraph, write pages, do what you want. Just do it.
4)
I'm the keeper of the documents, meaning the Indexer. If you fail to update for a month, I'll send you a reminder and give you another week to update. If you fail to do that, you're out. NO Exceptions! If you want to do NaNo next year, keep that in mind. Do some updates up in front, you'll be amazed how little time to write you might have.
5)
Make my life easy, will you? PM me when you update your diaries. 
6)
No posting (and writing) until 1.1.2008 
Think and talk as much as you want though.
7)
There will be a mini-challenge each month. I will give you a theme or topic to integrate into the diary. It is NOT obligatory, just something to get your imagination running.
8)
If you failed to update for a month three times, the next time you don't update for a month, the diary will automatically drop out of the challenge. It does not matter if that three times are in a row or scattered across the year.
About the Index.
I'll update daily, and the index will be sorted by era and then alphabetically by title. I will also colour code it.
green = well within updating schedule
orange = no update for two weeks
red = no update for a month
If there's any questions left, tell me, or pm me.
I hope we'll have a great time together.

What about something like a current diary? I started a Qui-Gon diary back in October before NaNo started (I know I know, I should've waited) and I really would like to do more with it, so this might help me get jump started on it again. Does it have to be from scratch fresh, or can it be something different?

I'm going to give this another go even though I only lasted until March last year. I've gotten inspired to write again with nano even though it was an original fic. This time I think I'll go a little lighter. I seem to get pulled into the angst though.

So many volunteers. 
I'd say 'you don't know what you're getting yourselves into', but some have done this before so....
Welcome all.
Alexis I hope things are cleared up now. 
earlybird-obi-wan As long as you don't take your NaNo novel. Just remember that you'' lave to work some in advance if you want to do next year's NaNo, too.
NYCitygurl I hope so, too. 'twas sad to see so many drop-outs.
Vadey More Ynna? I'd be very happy. Things just started to take off.
Ceillean Let's hope the excitment will stay for the whole year.
KELIA Readers to writers, just what I like.
Jinngerbread That would depend. Could you pm me the details? From scratch would be preferred, though.
LilyHobbitJedi I can so understand you. I won't be participating either. I think/hope. 
DarthIshtar I'll remind you of that. 
moosemouse It shouold be clear that it's the diray of one person. Random is okay, but it would be nice if it made sense somehow.
PadawanKayla Welcome back.
leiamoody Just beware of rabid plot bunnies then.
