I was going to sign up with Ursula because I thought I'd never used her before and she's going to die so last chance saloon. Turns out I used her last year. Woops. She's still dying though so it seems like the only appropriate choice. Also I saw a chance to gamble against terrible odds for her life.

If I make it to 2.5k words with Ursula I will let her live to see 1890. Literally New Years and bye bye.
5k Instead of dying Ursula is cursed and stuck in some undesirable situation, like being a cabbage. It is possible that she may die even faster as a cabbage living in a time that predates refrigeration. Probably I won't make her a cabbage because that would make posting impossible.
7.5k I will suspend her death for a decent but undecided amount of time.
10k I've actually beat Nano so Ursula gets to beat death.
12.5k what the actual fuck. Ursula gets to live, pigs fly, I'll make an ad for her sister, and whomever the 12,500th word is for can tell me to do something wild like have Ursula get abducted by aliens and I can't say no*.

*Unless it's something that would negatively impact someone else's character(s) and they aren't on board with it.

EDIT: So I failed but I'm extending my deadline until Ursula's planned death date.
