And now, to the 2016 poll!

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Here is the place to complete the poll and to comment regarding your ability to help out with anything we do here at 1_million_words.

EDIT: I apologise but this post will not work with the poll. I'll repost it in a NEW POST which I have linked here.

Please still comment in this post with anything you're willing to help with.

And if you are willing to help with any of the items polled, please comment in the appropriate thread below, using the form shown. Also note that some of the regular things we do already have someone running them, but they will comment to you if they would like additional help or would like to pass the item on to you fully, should you show an interest in one of these. Don't feel discouraged if they want to keep it; we have a lot of other things you can help with! Do comment in as many threads as necessary if you want to help with more than one thing. Thank you!

Name: Kahuna Burger
Challenges/regular posts you'd like to help with: I'd be interested in doing a weekly meta post, like the tuesday tips or thinky thoughts. If you are open to new regular things, I've also been considering if anyone but me would like a weekly 'Dark' prompt for inspiration and/or discussion.

Any times during the year that you aren't available to help: for a weekly thing, tuesdays, fridays and saterdays are best for me, since I start work early on other days and don't have a computer there.

Thanks, Saga, will let you know when we get the schedule worked out!

[craterdweller.livejournal.com]

Not sure which of these this should go under but I'm available to help with rewards most anytime - graphics all fandoms etc - written rewards would be limited to those fandoms I'm pretty familiar with --

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Thank you; we really appreciate this and we're bound to take you up on it! ;-)

[thtwzjustadream.livejournal.com]

Name:Dreamy
Challenges/regular posts you'd like to help with: I'll stay in the Weekend Challenges pool! Though I see folks offering, so if there are enough volunteers that I can step back a bit and maybe do four weekends and be available to step in if/when you have a cancel, that'd be great. Also, re: Word Wars, am glad to do those from time to time.
What you're willing to do: (eg: run it, help run it, help make graphics or rewards, etc)
For weekends, the usual: Run some and give rewards for fics/graphics completed. For Word Wars, I'd rather not be involved in scheduling them but would be glad to take on some scheduled dates if others want to organize that. For instance, maybe during September WIP push I could run one either each Thursday or each Friday evening that month. Or Jan-March, I can see Sundays being a day I could run some- except for Jan 17th. That kind of thing.
Any times during the year that you aren't available to help: Jan is fine other than the weekend of 1/16-1/18 (traveling). First halves of April and October are likely other travel times at this point!
Do you need reminders before the challenge arrives? YES/NO (strike that which doesn't apply)
Your email address or can we PM you?

Thanks, Dreamy! We'll definitely work with your dates and wishes! ;-)
