June WIP challenge - debrief?

[littlebutfierce]

Hi folks -- I'm going to put up the first check-in post for July's WIP challenge later (after I have a chance to write something myself, heh).

But I thought it'd be good to put up a post to see how the June challenge ended for people! Did you meet your goals? If not, were you satisfied anyway? Are there things you learned about how to kick your butt into gear? Are there things we could be doing more of in this comm (&, crucially, are there people interested in getting more involved in the running of the challenge if so)?

& just a reminder that we have a WIP Challenge collection on AO3; if you've finished fics through the challenge, please do feel free to add them there! If you need an invite let me know.

I abandoned one fic I had planned to get finished, got my big bang outline mostly done, enough for me to be happy to proceed anyway, and about half the word count I wanted to get done for said big bang.

Despite not meeting my goals, I'm fairly happy. Another fic that I had planned to get finished earlier ate up more of my time than planned but I think my satisfaction with that made me a bit more confident for my big bang.

I'm glad you're pretty happy w/the progress you've made, even if you abandoned a fic & didn't strictly meet your goals. I keep doing that: not meeting my goals but feeling like I get a lot of writing done anyway. Even if I don't post the fics I want, I usually end up posting some other fics, which is still good!
