Three weeks left! It's amazing how time flies.
Teams 1 and 5 added several soloists due to some original members not being able to compete, and now the points are a *little* more balanced than they were. You all are doing a fantastic job!
Happy Summer Days

We are in the final week of Summer Days! I know that we're all scrambling for those last minute points, so here's your gentle reminder to choose the right prompt that fits your book (storyline/time period prompts should feature prominently as part of the plot).
Like last year, I'm accepting nominations for MVPs from your teammates! Please DM me with your nominations by July 31st.
Final numbers will be released early August 2nd (my time), so please ensure you get your last updates in by the 1st.
Good luck all! There are some wild points this year!
Happy Summer Days
