February WIP Challenge sign ups

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the February 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 January.

• 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.)

My goals are always the same, even when I don't reach them -- but they are still good goals, and I'll keep aiming for them and eventually I'll make progress. ;-)

Level of challenge: Assuming I finish my January prompts on time, my goal for February is to write at least one chapter in one of my neglected fics, and to finish a one-shot challenge story that is overdue from last year. I will probably see a prompt I like in a February challenge, and if I can't resist it, I'll have the resulting story as part of my goals, as well.

Fandom(s) involved: Lord of the Rings, Major (anime/manga)

What you're looking for from the challenge: Daily checking in is important to me, because it keeps my writing responsibility at the forefront! I also get encouragement from seeing others' success.

What you could offer other participants yourself: Accountability and encouragement

How people should contact you: DW PM

Time zone: -5 GMT

I can help with check-in posts if you need me this month. The last week of the month would be good for me (February 24th to March 2nd) if that works out!

Sometimes it can be good to have the same goals for a while :) good luck with them.

Yeah 24th-2nd is your week, thanks :)
