Forum Challenge - July

[Darling_take_off_the_mask]

Welcome (back) to our monthly forum challenge!

The prize: 

One of your fics (your choice) to be featured on the archives front page next month!

The challenge:

• Leave 5 reviews
• Respond to 5 reviews
• Post questions/comments in 10 other members' novel nests for July Camp NaNo
  • Use your judgment - a little more than "hey, this sounds neat!" please - the point is to interact meaningfully with one another's work. 
  • You can do this even if you yourself are not participating in camp nano and don't have a novel nest!
  • At the time of posting this challenge, there are only 8 novel nests so far. If by the end of the month there are still fewer than 10 nests, you may fulfill this part of the challenge by posting in each of the existing ones.

The rules:

• Components of the challenge will typically consist of a certain # of reviews and review responses, and some kind of forum activity that will change each month.
• Each of these tasks must be completed during this month - starting July 1 and ending July 31 in your time zone.
• Reviews can be from anything (review swaps, review thread, review tag, review event, literally any reviews you leave)
• Review responses can be left on any reviews regardless of when they were posted (but you have to respond to the reviews this month, they cannot be reviews you've already responded to).
• Staff are also welcome and encouraged to participate!

What if I have fewer than 5 reviews left to respond to?

Spoiler

Do what you can. We're certainly not going to hold it against you if your fics have a lower review count; and as far as I'm concerned, if you've been so good at keeping up with review responses in general that you simply have no unresponded reviews left, then you're ahead of the game anyway and satisfying the spirit of this challenge.

 

Please post your completed challenge activity below using this format:
