Week 1: 6th to 12th [personal profile] abyssal_sylph
Week 2: 13th to 19th [personal profile] linaewen
Week 3: 20th to 26th [personal profile] fleetsparrow

It's time to sign up for the April WIP challenge! Some people join the challenge mid month, 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. For those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.

Sign-ups will be open until the end of April.


    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:



The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who might need it.

If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.

Discussion: what are you working on this week?

Intro Post!

I never made one of these… because I just realized I’d never ACTUALLY joined, just subscribed! D: Whoops!

I’m Captain! I don’t write anywhere near as much as I used to, but I’ve been dabbling again recently. My primary motivations when it comes to my work—be that art, writing, or anything else—is interaction with others. I love sharing my works with a community! But that’s been a bit more difficult these days.

There’s a list of my fandoms on my website! It’s not perfectly up-to-date but it’s got the gist of it!

I would love to write for some niche animanga, games, and other fandoms—and niche characters, like villains or side characters, to boot!— but I’d very much appreciate a beta reader(s). I know it’s the number one thing asked for.😅

Currently I’m working on Find Your Way, a Legend of Spyro post-canon fic centered around Cynder. I also occasionally write short stories for my OC anthology Outside of Ponyville. There’s also a lot of old, unfinished fics for fandoms like TFP and One Piece I’d like to revisit one day…

Anyway, thank you for giving this a read. Happy writing! 💜
