AutoSummarize=Extreme procrastinating fun!
I love creating this thread and reading everyone's "stories". 
First, how to do it:
On MS Word, it's Tools > Autosummarize. Then click "Create a new document..." and change 25% to 1% (or whatever works best for your story). Then
click "Okay".
It should come out with something vaguely resembling this:
| Quote: | "Lark?"
"Joseph is dead, Lark."
"Finlay Lark." "Lark?"
"Paul."
Lark laughed. "If?"
"Lark--"
"Lark." Lark could breathe again. Lark reached the deck. “Lark, it’s time.”
Lark watched him go. "Lark! It's Lark!"
"Claire," Lark said, grinning. Claire murmured, pulling Lark inside.
Lark nodded. "My clothes," Lark said. Lark laughed mirthlessly.
|
That is approximately 1% of my JulNo. 
If you do 10 sentences, it'll most likely be your MC's name repeated over and over again.
I'd love to see others'.

It's not a feature that OpenOffice has, from what I can see. The other wp I use, DarkRoom, has formatting only. So I guess I won't be participating.
lol Good idea, though!

Sure! But mine doesn't have much dialogue as yet. D:
| Quote: |
I’d never really been one for religion. Despite this fact, my mother found the need to take me with her because enjoyed the pageantry of eight o’clock
Sunday morning mass. I once asked my mother, when I was much older, why she decided to name me after the angel who told the mother of Christ that she
was to bear the Saviour of the World. Not like my father who died from cirrhosis of the liver after drinking himself into a zombie-like permanent
drunken stupor when he hit a mid-life crisis. Or my perfect older brother who migrated from home to go to university in the States, got his degree in
cardiology, and ironically, died from a heart attack. With them dying from biological reasons, it seemed natural.

Desdemona rolled her eyes. “Yes,” Jake said plainly. Jake snorted.
Right! “Desdemona,” her mother said, scowling. Jake scowled. “Smart boy.”
Jake let himself laugh. “Alastair,” Dez said pointedly, and Jake laughed.

Alastair grew quickly. Jake loved blue eyes. “Jake, it’s only July,” Dez groaned. Jake laughed at her.

Alastair had met Leroy’s sister, once. Alastair smiled at him. Alastair said.
Regulars, Alastair thought. Alastair stifled a groan.

Bits in bolded, to me, are priceless. Most likely this is a combination of me being the author and knowing what siuations they have been torn from,
and my sense of humour. 
Also, plenty of it makes no sense. So, um. There.
My laptop just DELETED all of my JulNo files.
So I\'m starting again. :D

| Quote: | “No,” said Molly. “Yes,” said Molly. Molly nodded.
Molly nodded again.
Molly said redundantly. “Yes,” said Molly. “Yes,” said Molly. “No,” said Molly.
“No,” said Molly.
“Yes,” said Molly.
Remember his name, Molly. Sarah looked at Molly. Master Hollis taught me so.”
Molly sewed on.
Molly had.
“Molly is . . . new. Liam is about fifty. Liam remembers it vividly.
Liam holds it.
Hollis moves Liam’s left hand a little. . . . and Liam built two. “Other chemists?” says Hollis’s voice in Liam’s head. Hollis says laughingly. Yes,
Liam definitely owes Hollis a favor. Molly laughed dutifully.
“ Let’s ,” said Molly.
“Liam Hamilton, reference librarian.”
Hollis says, “Hello, James.”
“James?” says Hollis. Hollis asks.
“Thank you,” says Hollis. Hollis pauses for a moment. “Hollis,” says the voice. “Liam here. “Yes,” Hollis says. “Wake up, Hollis,” says James.
Hollis turns around.
Hollis’s eyes widen.
Hollis asks groggily.
“Hello, Penny,” says Hollis. “Oh,” says Hollis. “Hmm,” says Hollis. “Oh my,” says Hollis. Hollis nods. “Liam, of course. “Liam,” says Hollis briefly.
"Hello," says Liam.
“Hello,” returns Hollis.
“Hello,” says Liam.
“Of course,” says Hollis. “Sounds good,” says Hollis.
Liam likes that.
“Tea, please,” says Liam.
“Black,” says Hollis. Liam raises his eyebrows at Hollis, sarcastically.
” Hollis laughs. “Hollis turns back to Liam and recites:
Hollis groans. Liam goes on.
Liam laughs merrily, and Hollis chuckles also. Liam laughs. Hollis calls out. Hollis asks uncertainly. Liam pauses, looking at something, Hollis
presumes. “I do,” says Hollis. Sometimes Hollis cannot sleep.
Molly hardly remembered it.
Liam said incredulously. “Honestly, Hollis. “Don’t, Hollis,” pleaded Liam. Hollis should be at home.
Hollis says loudly, “All right. Hollis is delirious.”
“Hollis, come over here,” Liam says sharply.
“Come on,” says Liam. “All right,” Hollis says grudgingly. Liam nods. Hollis is totally alone -- and Liam loves him.
Liam is still lost.
Liam wonders if Hollis was carrying any weapons. Hollis will be fine.
Liam met Hollis entirely by accident. Liam is visiting Hollis. Where is Hollis? Liam opens his eyes suddenly, shocked. Well, there’s Hollis. (Hollis
kisses Liam, one arm crooked around him.)
(Hollis is unbuttoning Liam’s shirt with his delicate, cold hands.)
(Liam watches Hollis’ hands. (Hollis nuzzles against Liam, sleepy. Liam would never do that. Liam shakes it. “Reference -- librarian,” Liam stutters.
“Yes,” says Liam. Liam nods.
Liam remembers him now -- Hollis introduced them once. Liam is surprised.
“Oh my,” says Liam.
Liam says defensively.
Liam says confusedly.
“Well . . . I’m . . . dying . . . ” rasps Hollis. ““It’s . . . oh, Hollis. “Well . . . try . . .” says Hollis slowly.
“Hmm . . .” says Liam pensively. Liam chuckles. “All right,” says Liam reluctantly. “Good - bye,” says Hollis. Liam . . .”
Liam considers. Liam puts them on.
Liam shakes his head.
Liam nods slowly.
“Liam is dead.”
Evie watches Hollis for a moment. “Moth?” asks Hollis.
Hollis looks at Liam blankly.
Hollis checks his watch. “Hollis?” asks the visitor. “It’s about Liam.”
Hollis opens his eyes. Perhaps Hollis isn’t, but, well, Hollis never knew. Hollis walks into the library. Hollis relaxs.
Hollis asks, trying to kill time.
Molly looked up. “Well. Molly frowned. Molly nodded.

Oh wow. . This says a lot about my novel. Not a lot of it is good.
Also oh God, it picked my sex scene to quote from. The horror.
I find it particularly funny that you can totally tell who the main character is. And just how boring she is.

I'm thinking, Nathan, that neither Hollis nor Liam is actually dead?
That's great. Your character Molly says yes and no quite a lot.

Josh grinned.
Alex grinned.
Josh nodded
Alex nodded vigorously.
Josh trailed off.
Josh shoved Alex "See!
"Alex, no problem.
"Alex!"
Alex shrugged.
Alex's mom sighed.
"Alright Alex, pay attention.
"Very good Alex!
Josh high-fived Alex.
Mumbled Alex.
Josh dared Alex.
Josh laughed.
Josh nodded.
Josh grabbed Alex's arm.
Alex's mom nodded proudly.
Alex nodded brightly.
Alex nodded.
Alex nodded. (HOLY SHIT ALEX STOP NODDING! actually that was kind of on purpose, because he's quite so he nods instead of saying something.)
Josh shifted.
Alex shouted up to Josh.
Josh waved down at Alex.
Alex nodded. (surprise surprise.)
Josh looked unconvinced.
Alex nodded.
Okay. What bothered me was it didn't take anything from the first 3 pages, which was Phoebe's section! Mean Microsoft Word, ignoring Phoebe...

Oh, I love this thread! ^_^
| Quote: | Aoife pushed onwards. Pulling the mara to her, Aoife could feel the thoughts of the girl flooding through the walls. It seemed to Aoife that the girl
would have died young regardless.
The girl was sleeping silently on her bed. This decided upon, Aoife stepped partway into the void, her body instantly stiffening. Aoife was not Frey.
So as the girl opened her arms and smiled, Aoife pushed the dagger into her chest instead.
It was a scream that Aoife knew well.
At first, Aoife thought the girl was screaming in the dream-time alone. For all Aoife’s training, she was struggling to keep the girl’s body under
control. Too late Aoife realised the truth.
Aoife stared at her in horror.
The girl – Calais – opened her mouth. "Callie!” the voice cried.
“Eddy?” Callie asked.
Callie nodded. “Olivia?”
Callie shook her head. Callie snapped. |
Knowing the bits this has been taken from, I laughed so hard xD

Liam is dead for real, and Hollis eventually goes missing, presumed dead.
Also, Molly is ten, and The Dumb One in a cast of brilliant people. I didn't mean to write a comedy, I swear.

Mr. Geoffrey Wellington gave a nod.
“Did the red headed broad say anything to you?”
Everyone loved eggs.
“Well then do it, Red.”
The red head shook her head.
“I could see if you could stay there if you like.”
“My name is Kilahn.”
“What sounds funnier?”
“Well yes.”
“If you say so.”
Dominic had forgotten about the clothes he had lent Red.
Red?
Red only nodded.
Kate asked finally.
Dom asked.
Dominic cringed but nodded.
Red shook her head.
“To see if you where hungry.”
Kate’s home was very different from Dominic’s.

All I have to say is wtf is up with the "Everyone loved eggs." quote. I forgot I even wrote that.

“York, actually,” corrected Adam.
“Who is calling, please?” asked Adam.
“York,” Adam corrected again, automatically.
“Adam?” "Red-eye.”
“Adam,” Greg greeted in kind. “I’ll be there,” promised Adam.
Adam sighed.
“Nope,” Adam said.
Adam shook his head. Felice refilled his coffee.
“Sorry, Frank,” said Felice. Felice balked. "Nothing,” said Adam.
Adam shrugged.
“Right."
Adam shrugged.
Adam snorted. “Come on, Adam,” she growled. Adam smiled, the bastard. Adam paused.
Adam rolled his eyes. Big deal.
“Feeling better?” asked Adam.
“Call them suggestions if you like.”
“Adam?”
Adam contemplated that.

Adam is apparently the star of this summary, although he gets less screen-time than his love interest in the actual novel.

“Rick Sci-jel-sky? “Come on in, Rick.” Rick frowned. C’mon, Florian.”
Florian was attractive; Rick wouldn’t deny that.
Rick cleared his throat. It’s Florian, right?”
Florian answered.
Rick ran to catch up with Florian. Rick scanned the paper. Rick promised.
Rick informed Florian.
Rick silently led Florian towards the art room. Rick explained. Florian peeked inside.
Rick guffawed. Florian raised an eyebrow at Rick’s suggestion.
Florian nodded as Rick rushed for the cafeteria. Florian protested.
Rick answered. “Florian meet my buddy Ken.”
Florian turned back to Ken.
Florian shook his head. Immediately, Ken, Rick and Florian looked up. Florian shuddered. Florian glared at the coach and Rick. “RICK!” Florian merely
giggled.
Rick smiled and Florian winked back. Rick’s eyes went wide.
“Florian, dude. Rick didn’t like Florian. Ken pondered and Rick grinned. “Come on, Florian. Florian glanced from Ken to Rick. Rick said tiredly. Rick
Sczygelski. Everyone liked Rick. Rick was slightly disappointed. “Rick!” Rick was suspicious.
Ken answered, Florian smirked at Rick.
Rick and Florian stared after him.
Florian hung up. Rick asked. Florian replied. Florian complained.
Rick laughed in agreement.
Florian shook his head. Florian exclaimed guiltlessly. Rick grinned.
Rick stated as he pulled into Florian’s driveway.
Rick muttered. Florian reached Rick. When Rick didn’t respond, Florian poked him again.
Florian stated staring at Rick criminally. Rick heard Florian preach. Florian pouted cutely as Rick approached the group. Rick growled.
Rick turned to Florian. Rick’s rough tone made Florian back up some.
Rick shouted angrily. “Come on, Florian. Ken tried to comfort Florian. Florian stated abruptly. Florian smirked.
Florian stated and Ken smiled.
“Look, Florian. Don’t worry about Rick. Rick worked. Rick knew it. Florian Cons. Now, Rick figured differently. Florian had wormed his way into
Rick’s mind. When Florian wasn’t around Rick missed him. Rick muttered.
Rick sighed. Rick shivered. Rick’s stomach lurched. Rick paused momentarily. Rick started wandering. Florian’s fist clenched. Florian rolled his eyes.
Florian replied shortly. Florian swirled around. Rick stated quietly. Rick grinned. Rick said seriously. Rick was desperate. Florian grabbed his hand.
Rick giddily thanked him.
Immediately Florian’s hands were on Rick. Rick raised an eyebrow. Florian started hurriedly. Rick groaned. Florian cringed. Florian cheered. Florian
muttered. Florian giggled.
