June sign up

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the June 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 June.

• 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: Finish the first draft of the longfic I'm writing.

Fandom(s) involved: Ensemble Stars!

What you're looking for from the challenge: A deadline to stick to and a place to post it afterwards so I feel like I've written it 'for' something. Also, a place asking for progress so I can boast about what I've done or complain about problems.

What you could offer other participants yourself: Probably not much, sorry. I'm not feeling very capable right now.

How people should contact you: Oh, that's fine - I'm just signing up so I can feel like I've Committed.

Time zone: ACST

What you could offer other participants yourself: The same, plus encouragement through doing a weekly check-in or two doing the month

Level of challenge: 1 fic finished.
Fandom(s) involved: I want to do an original fic, if that's okay?
What you're looking for from the challenge: Someone to bounce ideas off, and who might be willing to give me harsh, detailed crit.
What you could offer other participants yourself: I can beta and offer harsh, detailed crit. If you're not up for harsh let me know and I'll try to modify myself.
How people should contact you: DW message, or e-mail.
Time zone: US Eastern Standard Time. Though I'm not likely to ever be up for a writing session, but you can check in and poke me, I guess.

Original fic is fine :)
