May sign up

[lilly_c]

Mod note: I'll be unavailable for the first two weeks of the month which is (I think) the 30th to 6th and 7th to 13th as I'm away on holiday during that time.

It's time to sign up for the May 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 April.

• 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: May will be a weird month due to Real Life Things, so I will set only a small goal of writing at least 1,000 words. I'm pretty sure I can meet that!

What you're looking for from the challenge: Encouragement to keep writing at the forefront

What you could offer other participants yourself: The same

How people should contact you: DW PM

My hubby is having major surgery at the end of April, so I don't know what May will look like. I won't sign up for a set week now, but I can probably take one later in the month, depending on who else signs up. I can definitely do random check-ins during those first two weeks, just not a whole week.

[linaewen]

I ended up being able to do the first two weeks in May for check ins. If you end up needing someone for May 28-June 3, let me know; I can probably manage that, too. Otherwise I'll sign up later for one of the weeks in June.

[lilly_c]

I should be okay for that week. June sign ups will be up sometime this week.
