Yuletide Writing Meetups 2018

Do you want to write companionately, have in-person word wars, or commiserate about Bears with other Yuletiders?

Comment here with your general location and whether you want to organize or attend writing meetups!


--

I'm in Boston, and I'm organizing a weekly/every-other-weekly writing meetup. Currently looking at alternating-ish Saturdays and Sundays in Porter Square and downtown (see below for more info).

Last year, meeting in a coffee/food-type place in Porter Square on Sunday afternoons (~1 or 2pm-ish) worked well for many of us. I know that there are Boston/South Shore-type folks who found Somerville a trek, so please let me know if you know a good location in downtown/etc, so we can alternate between the two. I don't know downtown very well, so I need some help here :)

Please let me know if you'd prefer a non-weekend time, and if you'd be willing to organize those, since I'm not available most weekdays (including weekday evenings).

Please also let me know about any accessibility needs (mobility, public transit, financial, sensory, etc).

Looking forward to it!

Another long-shot, but I know there are other fanfic writers here, anyone else doing Yuletide?

I can get most anywhere by bus and that's my preference, but I do also have a car.

I am doing Yuletide and would be up for a writing meetup!

No preference on location, except maybe nearby parking options.

Awesome! I’m in Chinatown, and also pretty flexible. I have a car, but my preference is something near a main bus line.

There’s a Bridgehead and a Ministry of Coffee at Wellington and Fairmont. It’s street parking, but my experience is there’s usually a lot of open space on nearby side streets.

Oh, I know exactly where those two places are! I'm just in the Little Italy area. So, yeah, either one would work fine.

Assignments are out, shall we plan a first meet-up?

I'm free this weekend, next Wednesday, or anytime after the 12th.

That is also basically my free schedule, except I am not available around lunchtime on Saturday (like, 11:30 to 2:00).
