I know it's a bit late for many of us--I only found out a couple days ago via Google Plus, and even though I've won NaNoWriMo every year since I joined in 2010, I've yet to actually finish a single novel. ^^; (I'm working on it, though!)
But for those who have finished something, and don't mind that I'm posting this only a few days before the deadline, StoryBundle has a contest set up for NaNo writers.

What is StoryBundle, you might ask?
Well, you can visit the FAQs page here storybundle.com/faq
But long story short, it's a site for selling ebooks by self published/indie authors, bundled up in different theme sets (I've bought a Science Fiction bundle and a Doctor Who bundle myself... though I missed the Fantasy bundles because I didn't check my email often enough :( ), and the readers get to decide (within reason, of course) how much they're willing to pay for the bundle and how much of that cost goes to charities.

Anyway, the NaNo bundle will focus on science fiction and fantasy novels.
If you've got one of those completed and edited and polished, and not currently published via certain exclusive deals (*cough*KindleSelect*cough*), you can submit the work to their contest, and get the chance to be one of, I believe, three writers in the bundle.

More details here:
storybundle.com/nanowrimo.html

Now like I said, for me, it's far too late to enter. The closest I've got to a complete story is 2013's novel all plotted out but only half written out, or a handful of Doctor Who fanfictions from 2012 that I can't submit for... reasons that should be obvious. And one extremely short story from 2011 (originally a 5000 word flashback in that year's novel) that I've got published on Kindle and Smashwords.
Now, I don't do Kindle Select because I don't like that "exclusive" nonsense; I'd rather open my work up to more readers and include other sites like Smashwords like I'm already doing, and Smashwords pretty much covers ever format. Though if I was willing to use Kindle Select, I'd only need to wait until whatever Bundle my work is sold with has expired before putting the work up on Kindle. :shrug:
But I do wonder if Kindle's price-matching requirement affects, or is affected by, StoryBundle prices. Because that's a requirement even without Select.
