November sign up

[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.)

Hmm. You know, I can actually take a week to help out, if you like.

Thanks, which week is best for you?

How about the week of the Thanksgiving holiday (November 22 to 28)? I'm not going anywhere that week, so I'll have regular Internet access.

Level of challenge: Write and post the next chapter in my longest running WIP. This is a priority. (I keep saying the same thing every month, maybe it will stick this time!) If I foolishly sign up for a challenge in November, I'll work on that also.

Fandom(s) involved: Lord of the Rings

What you're looking for from the challenge: Encouragement to keep at it daily and a reminder to keep writing at the forefront of my list of things to do.

What you could offer other participants yourself: The same, plus encouragement via daily check in posts.

How people should contact you: DW PM

Time zone: CST

My preferred week to do check ins is the final week -- 29th to 5th.
