October WIP challenge signups!

[littlebutfierce]

Where is this year going, I ask?!? It's time for signups for the October WIP challenge.

(& if you've completed a fic through the challenge, don't forget our collection on AO3! If you need AO3 invites, let me know.)

We do have writers who join the challenge midmonth, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is absolutely 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 officially signing up useful, please sign up as below.

Signups will be open until the end of September.

• 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, if possible (I usually assign weeks running Sunday-Saturday just for consistency, but if that's difficult let me know). 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). Just let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

Level of challenge: Two chapters written and posted from at least one of my 3 ongoing WIPs, plus one shortish thing for a wee challenge due mid-month.

Fandom(s) involved: Lord of the Rings, possibly Major (Anime/Manga) if I have time and need a break from Middle-earth.

What you're looking for from the challenge: Accountability and a place to squee/complain. Having to report every day how I am doing really helps!

What you could offer other participants yourself: Same as above.

How people should contact you: DW PM

Time zone: GMT -5

I'm able to do check in posts the first week of October (2nd-8th) or the third week (16th-22nd). The first week works better for me, but either one is fine.

Yay, thank you! If you'd like to do 2-8 October, that would be fantastic!!

Perfect! It's written in my calendar in ink, so we're all set.
