It's time to sign up for the January 2012 WIP challenge!
Some folks join the challenge midmonth, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is absolutely fine -- I'm glad there's a way for the challenge to be useful in a variety of ways.
But for those of you who find the commitment of officially signing up useful, please sign up as below.
Signups will be open until the end of December.
Copypaste below:
I couldn't continue to run this challenge without assistance with the daily check-in posts. Many thanks to everyone who's helped with the check-ins before!
Please let me know if you'd be interested in helping out. A week per person would be ideal (I usually assign weeks running Sunday-Saturday just for consistency, but if that's difficult let me know). I'm happy to help come up with suggestions for discussion topics (& Friday or Saturday is usually the general chat/snippet/beta-seeking etc. post). Just let me know if you're interested. Thanks!
(& if you've completed a fic through the challenge, don't forget our collection on AO3! If you need AO3 invites, let me know.)
