March WIP Challenge sign ups

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the March WIP challenge!

Some people join the challenge midmonth, 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.

But for those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.

Signups will be open until the end of February.

• 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 (I usually assign weeks running Sunday-Saturday just for consistency). 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).

(& if you've completed a fic through the challenge, don't forget our collection on AO3! If you need AO3 invites, let me know.)

Check in: Monday 18th

Crikey it's Monday :( hope it's a good day for you all, writing or otherwise.

I've got far too much RL stuff to be dealing with today but hopefully I'll have some time later on in the day to get some more editing done and also try and figure out where I'm going wrong with my pacing and what's going to work to slow down/speed up/account for time jumps in some scenes because I found more pacing problems.

Discussion topic: amusing mistakes. Have you ever found a mistake in your fic that made you laugh? Did you find it during the editing process? Did you find it after you posted it?

I’ve been very slowly editing my Taggart fic and I found that I’d written a row of decapitated garages, of course I meant to write a row of dilapidated garages. I did change it when I spotted it and had a giggle too :) then again, a decapitated garage would be an interesting sight.
