WIP Challenge - May sign ups

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the May 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 April.

• 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.)

What you're looking for from the challenge: Someone to be accountable to

Level of challenge: One story

Fandom(s) involved: Unknown. I'm signing up for Not Prime Time, and I don't know yet what my assignment will be (and it'll be a secret what I'm writing anyway).

What you're looking for from the challenge: A place to check in

What you could offer other participants yourself: I'd love to do writing sprints if anybody's available when I am.

How people should contact you: PM works. I'm estetnaoko on AIM. Just be sure, if you ping me on AIM, to tell me you're from this community. I block strangers fairly fast if they're not clear on where they know me from.

Time zone: Eastern Daylight Savings (I'm mostly online between 8:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Friday)

I can do a week of check ins. I can't do the last week of the month as I may be offline for a couple of days, but any other week should be fine.

I'll put you in for 11th to 17th. Thanks.

Level of challenge: posting 1 chapter, completing 2 chapter drafts of another fic

Fandom(s) involved: mostly a Persona 4 x Kamen Rider crossover

What you're looking for from the challenge: ACCOUNTABILITY, commiseration is cool too

What you could offer other participants yourself: same as above lol

How people should contact you: PM is cool, I also have a Skype

Time zone: EDT (GMT-4)

I'm just getting back into DW so I think I should wait to help posting check-ins or anything, but I'm super psyched to be participating in this again (after like 2-3 years? lol)

Level of challenge: One chapter of anything! My main goal is still to finish my Major WIP, but it is taking more than I expected to get back into the thread of the story. In the meantime, another neglected WIP is needing some attention, so if I can update at least one of these two in May, I'll be content.

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

What you're looking for from the challenge: Encouragement to hang in there and finish something!

What you could offer other participants yourself: The same, as well as encouragement through participating in weekly check-ins.

How people should contact you: DW PM

Time zone: Central Daylight

If it's still available, I'd like to request the week of May 25th to 31st to do the weekly check-in.

[lilly_c]

That week is yours. Thanks.
