November 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.)

I can do a week of check in. I can do any week.

Level of challenge: One story

Fandom(s) involved: It'll be whatever I'm assigned for Yuletide

What you're looking for from the challenge: accountability

What you could offer other participants yourself: I can first read/cheerlead. I'm happy to schedule writing sprints if those work for other people.

How people should contact you: I'll probably be hanging out in yulechat once I get my assignment. And, as always, a PM will work.

Time zone: US, Eastern (I'm mostly online and writing between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. I can do some sporadic stuff after 3 p.m., but I'm likely to be distracted).

Thanks. I'll put you in for 2nd to 8th and if you want to change it at all just let me know, the whole month is free at the moment.
