Yes, I made it. I tried it again the next year but had too much going on in my life and had to stop :( I did eventually finish that story too!
I've also written a couple of SGA Big Bang stories but they are 40k words in 2 months.
With Nano, it really doesn't matter what you write as no one gets to see it except YOU. You could write a hundred poems, or a series of ficlets... the 'story' you upload for the final count to Nano is put through an encrypter so no one can read/steal your story! It is done on trust. There are some people who simply cheat and copy paste whole chunks of text from the internet to make their 'story' but I see that as a hollow victory because they haven't won anything really. The real pleasure is in knowing you accomplished it!
