March WIP challenge signups!

[littlebutfierce]

It's nearly time for the March WIP challenge! I'm glad that there's been some activity for the February one. If folks have suggestions for how to run the challenge next month, please do let us know--it'd be great if people wanted to run writing sessions or other components, for example.

If you're interested in March's challenge, please sign up in comments using the form below. Signups will end February 28 (using whatever time zone you're in).

• 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:

Could we also get a few volunteers to do the daily check-in posts? A week per person would be ideal, if possible. Let me know if you're interested & if there are any dates you can't do. Many thanks to those who helped out in February!

Level of challenge: Finishing and posting at least two fics
Fandom(s) involved: Probably White Collar
What you're looking for from the challenge: Someone to be accountable to. I write a lot of fic but I keep it to myself, I'm hoping that signing up for something like this will be motivation for me to actually share what I write.
What you could offer other participants yourself: The same thing. I'm also a very good cheer leader and will happily do word wars or things like that, I'm not a great beta but if you're just looking for a pair of eyes to make sure something makes sense or that like, I'd be happy to try and help.
How people should contact you: DW messaging is fine and we can go from there.
