Any interest in a remote Inkhaven?
EDIT: express interest here
I love the idea of Inkhaven but don't have the cash (and am not super interested in becoming a fancy writer/researcher, but would like to write better). What about an online version - would also run during the month of November so could cadge some of the Inkhaven tailwind, but would be free and online-only.
You'd have a community of likeminded people all trying to do the same thing. We could set up a tontine; everyone chips in $50 or something and then if you've posted one thing a day for the full month you split the pool at the end.
Yep, we considered this! My guess is we won't have the team capacity to run this during actual Inkhaven, but I would love to see someone else make it happen.

1Do you have thoughts on naming/branding? Happy to find my own name but if you'd prefer I can also label at as a sort of remote Inkhaven type of thing.
We had the idea to make it the non-fiction blogging version of NaNoWriMo, called NaBloWriMo. I still think that’d be a cool internet-wide institution.
(I’m pro it happening, but I want to keep the Inkhaven branding separate, to refer to Lighthaven’s residency.)
Speaking from recent experience, yet it is. I tried it this month, missed a day, tapped out at the annoyingly close 27 posts (with the aforementioned day's lag). If you work a full 9-5 or have other extracurricular responsibilities, writing more than 1 vomit draft a day will be very difficult.
People seemed keen in taking part in a remote Inkhaven. I'll put together a loose community and run a tontine - to be split between those who post every day of November. Express interest here.
