O.K. I'm in.
I think.
I tried Nano last year and didn't get very far. I seem to suffer perpetually from writer's block. I'm sure there's some psychological explanation like I'm afraid of imperfection and afraid of people mocking my art and I'm lazy. ;)
Really, I just felt overwhelmed, like I do know, and a little desperate for an idea for a plot that goes more than one sentence. Heh.
So, I've got a couple of tentative ideas.
I could write a space western-type thing; maybe fanfic for Firefly/Serenity. I think fanfic still fits in the rules, particularly if I'm just writing in the "'verse" and not using any of the characters.
Or I could write a dark fantasy with vampires, magic users, and vampire hunters set in New Orleans and maybe climaxing during Hurricane Katrina.
Then there's always been the desire to write a Celtic space-kind-of-thing, but again what's the plot? Who are the characters?
Why has my brain suddenly gone blank as soon as I started thinking about writing for Nano?

This is my first time, so I am not sure what advice to give! (Have fun?) Screw 'em if they can't take a joke?
I've got it: "Balls to the Wall, baby!"
I agree, you should have fun with it.
Perhaps the right idea for you just hasn't appeared yet, or maybe you just need to further develop one of the ideas you have before it can snag you, and make you write it. *smiles* Anywho... the most important thing would be to enjoy the process and to me, that means relax and flow with it (if at all possible). Least thats what this NaNoNewbie thinks.
