March sign up

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the March 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 February.

• 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: As long as I do more in March than I've done in February, I'm golden, I think.

Fandom(s) involved: Many and varied, as per usual.

What you're looking for from the challenge: Continuity and consistency.

What you could offer other participants yourself: I'm always here for beta detail.

How people should contact you: PM @ DW

Time zone: EST.

Level of challenge: I have quite a few challenges for the month of March, so my goal is to write and complete as many as possible -- the truth is, however, that if I just manage to write one thing I'll be ahead of the game!

Fandom(s) involved: Lord of the Rings

What you're looking for from the challenge: Encouragement to stay consistent and focused on writing

What you could offer other participants yourself: Encouragement through participation in the community and check in posts.

I'm available to take a week of check ins any week except March 13-19. I could probably manage two different weeks, if I can think of some refreshingly new discussion topics!

How people should contact you: DW PM

Time zone: CST

Do what week(s) you can manage :) I'll likely be around for 13-19 anyway unless there are other volunteers.

[linaewen]

Sounds good. I'll plan on doing next week (6th - 12th) and the last week (27th to 2nd).

[lilly_c]

That's fine :)

Level of challenge: 1 fic's finished draft. I'm about 2000 words into it, and by keeping a daily word count of 500-1000 words it should be drafted by the end of March.

Fandom(s) involved: Harry Potter for this fic.

What you're looking for from the challenge: Regular reminders to write, accountability, maybe some help if I get stuck along the way.

What you could offer other participants yourself: I love to bounce ideas around! I'm no beta, but I can usually spot what's working and offer positive concrit (or general concrit if wished), writing sessions.

How people should contact you: DW messages.

Time zone: EST
