It's time to sign up for the June 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 May.
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.)

- Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you

What you're looking for from the challenge: I hope that signing up for something will actually give me the motivation to start working on this fic I have plotted months ago. I only have a couple of scenes written down and I'm struggling with the outline as well, but I hope to have that sorted out by the start of June.
What you could offer other participants yourself: I don't feel confident enough with my English to be a beta, but I can offer advice on writing in general and I can be a person to talk about this to, if you don't have anyone to vent with. If I'm familiar enough with the fandom I suppose I could help with characterization and plot.
How people should contact you: either through DW message or tumblr chat, if that's more of your thing.
Time zone: GMT+2
