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

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.)

Not sure about signing up as my goals are not clear yet and I am not sure about my schedule in the first half of March. I would love to do the check-ins for the last week of March.

[lilly_c]

The last week in March is yours, thanks :)

Level of challenge: My goal for March continues to be to write at least one chapter in one of my neglected WIPs, and if possible, finish a one-shot challenge story that is overdue from last year. I also expect March to be a busy month with new prompts, so if I get inspired by any of those, I'll be fully occupied!

What you could offer other participants yourself: The same
