April sign up

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the April WIP challenge! Some people join the challenge mid month, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is fine -- I'm glad there's a way for the challenge to be useful in a variety of ways. For those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.

Sign-ups will be open until the end of April.

Level of challenge: 1 chapter, 1000 words, 1 fic finished, whatever you like
Fandom(s) involved: if you know at this point
What you're looking for from the challenge: this could be as vague or specific as you like: someone to be accountable to, someone to remind you to write, someone to bounce ideas off, etc.
What you could offer other participants yourself: ditto!
How people should contact you: DW message, e-mail, IM etc.
Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you

The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who may need it.

If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on A03 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.

What you're looking for from the challenge: Encouragement. I'm hoping to post a reply here every day something is here.

What you could offer other participants yourself: Encouragement and/or terrible puns.

How people should contact you: DM/PM here or find me on Tumblr (also fleetsparrow there). These are pretty much the only places I am nowadays, actively at least. Also on Discord (same name), but sometimes I forget about it.
