September sign up

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the September 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 August.

• 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: ... at this point, I'd be happy to write anything during the month, and to not be sick, but I'll say 10,000 words (if at all possible).

Fandom(s) involved: Many and various.

What you're looking for from the challenge: Routine and consistency, of course.

What you could offer other participants yourself: Beta detail (if I'm not feeling like the living dead).

How people should contact you: PM @ DW.

Time zone: EDT.

Level of challenge: I'm moving house this month, so if I write anything, it will be a miracle. Even so, I'll set some writing goals -- to write at least one standalone or one chapter in any of my current WIPs and post it.

Fandom(s) involved: LotR, Major (anime/manga)

What you're looking for from the challenge: Encouragement to persevere, daily reminders to keep writing at the forefront.

What you could offer other participants yourself: The same, plus participation as the check-in post encouraging person.

How people should contact you: DW PM

Time zone: CDT

I usually like to take the last week of the month for check-ins, but that's my actual moving week, so I'd better not schedule anything else. Therefore, I will take the first week, September 4-10, if that's okay. I have the previous week to finish up August, so I'll just keep going into the next week.

That first week is yours :)
