Writing sessions on IRC?

[zellieh]

I haven't been around this comm for a while, but I remember getting a lot of writing done with some of you in several writing sessions on IRC, as well as having a lot of fun joking around talking about fanfic and fandom. :)

Since I've signed up for NaNoWriMo again this year, I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in starting up some writing sessions again? (Probably on IRC at irc.slashnet.org, #writethisfanfic)

I'm a Brit on UTC/GMT0, but I also keep strange hours, so I'm open to all kinds of time-slots. I'm sure we can make something work. Interested?

I'd be up for it. This time of year, I spend a lot of time on IRC in the Yuletide chat room. I wouldn't mind going somewhere else instead. (Though I will note that irc.slashnet.org #yuletide is a good place to find writing partners most of the time. There are usually upwards of thirty people on, and often some of them will be up for writing sprints/word wars. I don't think they'll care whether you're working on Yuletide or not as long as you're polite.)

I'm in the US, on Eastern time, but the best time of day for me is between about 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. M-W and F, so maybe we can intersect. Most days, I can do some stuff after 3 p.m. up until about 9:30 p.m. with a break for dinner, but I'm likely to be distracted. Weekends tend to be busy, so I wouldn't want to commit to anything then.

Oh, thanks! I might pop into the #yuletide IRC to ask for writing buddies for sprints.

Converting the time zones, it looks like 8am for you is 1pm for me, and your 2pm is 7pm here. Your 9.30pm might be a bit late for me; apparently that's 2.30am. Then again, I have stayed up to 1.30am easily, so I think all of that is do-able most days for me, except Wednesdays and weekends.

Did you want to set up a session for today or tomorrow?

Not actually doing NaNo myself, but I have list of things that Need To Get Done about as long as my arm so I'd be 100% interested!

We're in the same timezone but I also have strange hours, so assuming you and I have some mutual free time I'd be up for writing. c:

Great! We'll get something going, then. :)
