Welcome to 2017!

Hi! Welcome to [community profile] onedeadplotbunny 2017! There's a sort of basic FAQ on the profile page, but if you have more specific questions, feel free to ask them here.

If you're joining at a time that's not the first week of February, that's okay! You can join at any time, post at any time, etc. Go through the archives at your own pace and don't feel stressed. There is no 'catching up' to do.

This is a motivation/support community first and foremost. I don't want anyone to ever feel bad about their backlog/signups/whatnot. I don't want anyone to feel that they have to clear out their backlog instantly, or anything like that. I don't want anyone feeling stressed, even though there might be a few tasks in the beginning that can be stressful (or fun, depending on mindset - I like the fun).

But you can do it! You really can.

Feel free to make an introduction post. Feel free not to. Feel free to ask for help unsticking a plot. Feel free to post resources. Feel free to post success! Feel free to commiserate (because sometimes you just need to wonder out loud why you sighed up for the XYZ Bingo again even though you've never written for a single square)... This is everyone's space.

Weekly check-ins, once we get on schedule for the year, will be ~Wednesdays. For the first week or so of the community, things will be very busy. Besides this post and our first activity, a lot of people choose to introduce themselves. You don't have to make an intro post, of course, just like you don't have to participate in activities, discussion, or check-ins. Or you can introduce yourself in June, if you'd like. It is all good.

hi! i'm new. i have like 200000 things going at any time, and i've learned by way of experience that 90% of my battle with storytelling is needing to talk my random ideas out with...someone? it helps to have someone i'm telling the story to? idk.

anyway, i'm excited to be here! sorry for the late intro. :D

Ha, that is so me. I actually get so badly stuck that I can't plot without talking it out. I'll get to a detail that I just have to know before I can write more (I can't write multiple dead ends and then pare it off when I figure out the right detail, as some do), and then I'm stuck until I can sort it out. Which is why, although I'm sure my output and WIPs are far far far smaller than most, I am slowly accumulating more WIPs, most of which end up permanently stalled. (Which is sorrowful to me because I love them, but I can't write them without a brainstorming beta!) I'm not sure if this makes me a handicapped writer (if that word is still acceptable in this situation) or high maintenance - or both. *sigh*
