November Challenge sign ups

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the November 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 October.

• 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.)

Level of challenge: I'll have to set aside my usual goals (which I haven't been meeting!) to work on a Yulefic. I don't have the assignment yet, but I will by the time the month begins. I want to have my idea in place and researched, and an outline established -- if nothing else -- by the end of November. In addition, I would like to finish up two challenge fics that are late, but which should be easy enough to write if I just DO IT! ;-)

Fandom(s) involved: Lord of the Rings

What you're looking for from the challenge: Encouragement and discipline to keep at it and not give up!

What you could offer other participants yourself: The same. Also, I'll be doing the check in post for the week of November 17th to 23rd. :-)
