InCoWriMo 2016 anyone?

[Sailor Kenshin]

This will be my first year participating. Where does everyone post their addresses?

There was a database for the past couple years, I think.

I'm in! Hopefully we don't get so much snow that I have to spend all of my writing time digging my walkways out this year.

This will be my first year participating. Where does everyone post their addresses?

Some of us post them here on this thread as I have done. Others prefer to have anyone who wants to write to them send a PM request so their address is not so public.

All letters (not just first ones) get answers.

Should we perhaps start a GoogleDoc or something for all the addresses? I imagine the number of letters one receives will be proportional to whether you're an early poster or not otherwise.

Another thought -- I've never done this before. But is the goal that each person gets 29 (yay leap year) people to write to?

If that's the case, we could build a form/ugly website (I'm a baaaad web developer) where people submit their addresses and get assigned 29 random people. Kind of like postcrossing, but not exactly.

I participated last year, and I'm doing it again this year! I also mod/run /r/FountainPenPals over on Reddit, and I just opened up the matching for February, if you'd like to get somewhat randomly matched with other fountain pen writers.

Correspondence does not have to be directed to new people. This approach would overload my and I should imagine quite a lot of other people's circuits. A database with addresses is useful and there organisation can happily be left.
Kind regards,

Here is a new spreadsheet via Google Docs for 2016. Everyone who has confirmed they are participating is added to the list. If you've added your address within this thread, I have also added it (but please double-check for typos).

If there are any problems, please drop me a PM or email me at measiwitch@gmail.com (the latter will get my attention a bit faster).

Happy writing all!

Best,

Thanks for the spreadsheet,makes this so do-able for 2016.

[foolwithapen]

Yup I'm in for another go...

[Janinutah]

I always look forward to InCoWriMo! So far as I can tell no-one is hosting it on the web.... not lettermo either. I used to LOVE the participation stamps, I love stamps too.

[L'ETALON]

If you look up .....a couple of message posts to MEASI, she has created a spreadsheet with all of us who want to do this on our own....which is certainly possible....so please add your address
