June sign ups

[lilly_c]

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.

• 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: Hopefully a whole fic (which looks like it's going to be 20,000+, kill me)

Fandom(s) involved: The Raven Cycle

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

How people should contact you: PM @ DW

Things are getting a bit hectic around here, but I think I should be able to do a week of check in posts the final week of June (6/26-7/2)

I've made a note of that week for you :)
