December sign ups

[lilly_c]

I'm going to be unavailable on the weeks of 15th to 21st and 22nd to 27th, so if anyone can help out and take one (or both) of those weeks for me that would be fab. Thanks :)

It's time to sign up for the December 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 November.

• 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.)

Level of challenge: One Yuletide story and (if I can manage both) one chapter of Rheotaxis

Fandom(s) involved: It's a secret and Weiss Kreuz

What you're looking for from the challenge: Accountability

What you could offer other participants yourself: I'm happy to first read or cheerlead.

How people should contact you: PM works. Right now, I can often be found in the Yuletide IRC, at least during my waking hours.

Time zone: Eastern. I'm generally online between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. I may be online between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m., but I'm likely to be distracted.


I can definitely do a week of check ins. Any week is fine. I'm not traveling for Christmas, so I could even do that week.

Thanks. I've put you in for Christmas week.

[the_rck]

I've put it in my calendar.

Thanks.

Level of challenge: I am doing multiple projects this month, but the one that is of greatest importance is my fill for the holly_poly exchange.

Fandom(s) involved: Sailor Moon.

What you're looking for from the challenge: To help keep me disciplined and get this story done well ahead of the January 6th deadline. In a more general sense: To help break my habit of doing so many 'fics in a last-minute rush.

What you could offer other participants yourself: Encouragement. I am also quite partial to being a beta for just about anything.

How people should contact you: DW PM is the best method.

Time zone: U.S. Eastern
