WIP Challenge - July sign ups

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the July 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 June.

• 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.)

I'm willing to do a week of check ins. I just can't do the week of the 4th. Any other week should be fine.

Thanks, I'll put you in for 13th to 19th. If you want to change it for a different week now is the best time to do it.

The 13th to the 19th should be fine. I've put it on my calendar so that I won't forget.

Level of challenge: I was in charge of planning and implementing a big RL event in June, so I failed any attempts at writing for the entire month. Thankfully, July is looking nice and normal, so hope is high for writing opportunities. My goals for July are several: 1) finish 3 overdue challenge fics; 2) add a chapter to at least one of my ongoing (neglected) WIPs; 3) finish my Major WIP.

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

What you're looking for from the challenge: Encouragement to keep trying to get writing time in, and to also 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

I'm available to do a week of check-ins. I'd like July 27-August 2 if possible!

[lilly_c]

That week is yours, thanks.

Okay! It's in my calendar.
