May sign up

[lilly_c]

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

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 (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 fic finished and posted to ao3 per week! Looking to get into a more regular writing habit and practice finishing things after a very dry (and exhausting) semester XD
Fandom(s) involved: (probably) Transformers
What you're looking for from the challenge: just the structure of being part of a challenge is fun for me, makes it different from "regular" writing. So i guess just fun with my preexisting goals haha.
What you could offer other participants yourself: eyes largely. I can offer encouragement, concrit, beta services, and so on, but I'm not incredible at sticking to a schedule so I'm not going to offer anything that wouldn't require some level of prompting on anothers' part.
How people should contact you: DW message is best, Discord for those who prefer it (please message me first, as i'll have to approve you as a friend first and I don't usually approve strangers out of the blue); also comments directly on posts :D
Time zone: EDT :D
