Check In

It's a little shy of a month since sign-ups have opened, and we've got 40+ unique people type persons signed up as either primary and/or complement creators. So that's pretty exciting. *throws confetti*

Sign-ups remain open until the draft due date for primary creators, sign-ups for complement creators don't really close, either, but obviously the sooner after claims open, the better. So if you know anyone who was thinking about signing up, please feel free to encourage them.

If you haven't done so, please visit the friending meme and say hello. Comment to other people, introduce yourself, make new friends, help build a community. You can participate in the friending meme even if you're not signed up for the challenge, so don't feel shy.

Our discord server is a great place to commiserate, to talk about plot/progress/ideas/inspiration, to socialize, to get help. There's a channel for productivity sprinting, and daily random questions to discuss just for fun. If you've ever used a messaging program, like Google Chat, AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, or Kik, then using the discord will feel familiar. You can text chat with people who are currently logged in, or leave messages/conversations for others to join once they are logged back in. Send an email to the mod account if you'd like to try it out.

And here's the check in part of the post...

If you are a primary creator, have you settled on a plot/theme/character/pairing/medium/etc?
If you are a complement creator, are you excited to see what the primary creators will come up with?

Leave a comment with your answers!

I have around 4k words written, so far and I'm working very closely with [personal profile] heyginger as we mutually beta each other's work.

The primary is a story I've been... contemplating for quite a while, but I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to write it or not. I'm avoiding going into too much detail at present, other than it's Patroh (which is all I write), and it's a kind of happy fic.

I had sworn off ever doing a challenge again, after last year, when I ended up with 70k of a story that literally took over my life and should probably have been about 100k. But then [personal profile] heyginger said she was doing it and I felt left out and she enabled me and here we are.

I've also signed up as a complement creator, and I'm kind of hoping to get her work because I know whatever she does will be fantastic.
