Hello and Happy Monday!
How has writing gone today?
How has writing gone today?
Fandom: Ghost + The Mechanisms crossover
Characters/Pairings: Papa V/ Ghouls, hints of Copia/Ghouls, squint and you miss it Papa V/Jonny d'Ville (They insist on a sequel…)
Rating & Warnings: Overall E due to some ghoul orgies, gore and violence, temporary character death (including one immortal character shooting himself out of boredom)
Estimated Fic Length: 48-49k
Notes: This is for a big bang, the deadline is November 30th. I'd need this beta'd some time before this date.
If you'd like to beta this, I'm mostly looking for SPAG. But if you find kind words about what works and what reads off, I'd be happy, too.
The premise of this story: Ghost meet the Mechanisms but make it Cosmic Horror Sailor Moon
Papa V wants to connect with his grudge-holding twin, while Ivy Alexandrina searches for a tome in the Ministry's library. Shenanigans ensue, people get ripped apart and the Vatican gets spaghettified as we discover the secret behind the Emeritus bloodline.

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

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