12in2010Welcome to 12in2010, an idea shamelessly stolen from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
12in2008. (Thanks, 12in2008, and also, 2008 in general -- we wouldn't be here without you!)
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to set a goal, and write 12 stories that fulfill that goal over the course of the year. The thought, of course, is to do one a month -- but you can do several in one month and none in several months, if that's how your muses like to play it.
To set your goal, post a comment in response to this post right here, the one you're reading. To back out of a goal, either reply to your comment or delete your comment -- no harm, no foul (no deposit, no return). (But don't PM or email the mod(s) about this, because we are not your goalkeepers -- you are!)
Your goal can be anything you want. You can make it about word count (anything from a drabble to a novel -- if you think you can do 12 of them in 2010, go for it!), or about genre (12 angst stories, 12 hurt/comfort stories, 12 humor stories?), or about characters (12 stories centering around characters of color, 12 stories centering around transgendered characters, 12 stories centering around women). You can write about events (12 stories about weddings!), or specific events (12 stories about a particular wedding!), or current events (12 stories about marriage equality!), or world events.
If you can think of the goal, it can be your goal. You want to write 12 crossovers that prominently feature characters of color going snowboarding? GO FOR IT (please!). It's up to you!
More information is available in the profile, but we also invite you to ask questions in the question post!
Signups are open until 12/31/2010! If you find us late in the year, no problem -- just go ahead and sign up, and see what you can do!
