September sign up

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the September WIP challenge! The previous month can be found here.

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

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: 1 chapter

Fandom(s) involved: Batman: Arkham Knight

What you're looking for from the challenge: I don't really know yet. I'm still trying to find out what works for me. Encouragement/cheering would be nice. Writing resources/suggestions/insights on how to write longfic when you've never done that would be superb.

What you could offer other participants yourself: Cheerleading, beta services

How people should contact you: Whatever works best for them. I'm crookedspoonfic on tumblr, crookedteaspoon on twitter, crookedspoon on LJ, and my email is on my AO3 profile. I also have Discord and Telegram, but real-time chatting is too distracting for me, so that would need to be negotiated :)

Time zone: GMT + 1

I can always have a resources discussion the next time I'm hosting check ins and then make a general post afterwards with everything that is suggested, if that helps at all.
