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 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

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: I'm getting back into fandom and I signed up for Remix, which is due Oct. 2. So, my goal is to write that fic! I already wrote a loose intro and re-watched the source materials.

Fandom(s) involved: Going to keep this to myself, just in case... LOL.

What you're looking for from the challenge: To practice writing regularly. To get into a habit. To have fun. To finish this fic.

What you could offer other participants yourself: Cheering.

How people should contact you: Hit me up on DW.

Level of challenge: Getting Back To It/get one more rough draft chapter done!

Level of challenge: 5K of my WIP project for Halloween

Fandom(s) involved: Roswell New Mexico

What you're looking for from the challenge: To stay on track. My rough estimate for total word count for this fic is 10k, so I want to make sure I write half of it in September. I'm looking for encouragement and check-ins to stay accountable.

What you could offer other participants yourself: I can cheer you on, and I don't mind talking through a stuck point in your fic if you need help untangling a part that's not working, could be better, or just isn't flowing right.

How people should contact you: You can message me on DW. I also want to make a point of being around here more during our check-in days, so you should see me in the comments.

Time zone: EST
