It's time to sign up for the August 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 July.
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.)

I'm having knee surgery in a few days, and I don't know how long I'll be away from my computer with the post-surgery rehab. However, I think it's safe to say I'll be home and settled by the end of August, for sure, so sign me up for check-ins for the week of Aug 27-Sept 2. If I'm available before that, I'll let you know!
