December sign up

[lilly_c]

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
  

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.)

Level of challenge: Finish Yule Fic for the exchange I'm signed up for and post it by December 31st. I'd like to also complete a new chapter in my longest running WIP that desperately needs updating.

Fandom(s) involved: Lord of the Rings

What you're looking for from the challenge: Encouragement to stay the course through daily posts that keep me on track.

What you could offer other participants yourself: The same, as well as participation in a week of check-in posts.

How people should contact you: DW PM

Time zone: CST

I would like to request the final week of December for doing check-in posts (Dec 27-Jan 2).

Thanks, that week is yours.

I can take next week (starting Dec. 20) for check ins if you still need someone -- I'm already signed up for the week after that. Two weeks in a row works pretty well, especially since it will help me stay on track with a fic that's due at the end of the month, because I have to report how I'm doing when I post a check in!

Yeah please, that's great. Thank you so much.
