For discussion: What do you do if the chips are down and you get stuck with a fic. What are your creative ways of getting 'unstuck'?

September WIP challenge sign-ups!

[littlebutfierce]

... but before I get to that, just a reminder that we have a collection on AO3 of fics that have been completed through the WIP challenge -- please do add yours in! If you need AO3 invites, let me know.

& back to the subject of this post: sign-ups are now open for September's WIP challenge.

Some people join the challenge midmonth, or comment on check-in posts without signing up. That's fine, too -- 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 August.

• 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
  

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, if possible (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 or other things to do for the check-ins if need be. Just let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

(I definitely could use someone for the first week of September -- I'm moving in a week & I'm not sure when I'll have internet access at the new place.)
