September Sign Up

[the_rck]

It's time to sign up for the September 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.

• 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.)

I'll take a week of check ins. If no one else wants it, I'll take the first week of September. I can take any week, though, so it depends on what other volunteers want.

Level of challenge: Post at least one thing -- a chapter, an overdue piece from a challenge, anything. I haven't written anything for ages, so anything, no matter how small, would be progress. Along with this, I need to reevaluate my time and my priorities and make sure my writing gets a part of my schedule for the day, or I'll never get back into it.

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

What you're looking for from the challenge: The accountability that comes from daily checkins and the encouragement to keep going.

What you could offer other participants yourself: The same.

How people should contact you: DW PM

Time zone: USA Central Daylight

At this point, I don't think I can do check-ins during September -- sorry! September is pretty much my busiest month of the year. :-)

I'll be able to take a week of check ins, possibly two. I'll let you know which weeks I'm free by Monday.

I'm covering this week, and I have a volunteer for the very last week of the month, the one that starts the 28th. That leaves three weeks in need of coverage. I can certainly take another week this month, so if you can take two, we'll be covered.

[lilly_c]

I can do any two of the weeks of 7th to 13th, 14th to 20th and 21st to 27th.

[the_rck]

I'd definitely prefer that you take the 7th to the 13th. I'm going to be burned out on doing check in posts by the time this week is over.

Would you rather do two weeks in a row or have them broken up? I can go either way.

[lilly_c]

I can do two weeks in a row.

[the_rck]

Sounds good. I'll take the week after that, and we'll be set for September.
