October Challenge sign ups
It's time to sign up for the October 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 September.
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.)

- Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you

What you're looking for from the challenge: Accountability
What you could offer other participants yourself: I'm happy to do writing sprints/word wars/whatever you want to call it, but I'm apt to be hanging out in the Yuletide chat room because there are more people there. I'm willing to go to #writethisfanfic if I know somebody's going to be there.
How people should contact you: PM works or a comment on any entry in my journal.
Time zone: Eastern (I'm mostly available between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.)
I willing to do a week of check ins in October. I only ask that it not be the week that runs the 13th through the 19th. I'm likely to be distracted then and might forget to post. Any other week is fine.
