I know people don't like a posting that's not a story. I am posting my challenge here:

http // www . fanfiction . net / topic / 1714/2446858 / 1 / (just remove the spaces)

and below, and I will also be posting my first story of the challenge here later today. After that all stories will be posted separately. So here it is for anyone who wants to participate:

Challenge: Dog Days of Summer

I don't know if it's been done before, but I'd like to post a Dog Days of Summer challenge to everyone.

The rules:
1. Must be slash (can be pre-slash or fluff of the slashy variety)
2. Must include either Sirius or Remus or both
3. Must be longer than a drabble (100 words) but can be a one-shot (I encourage it actually)
4. You must post one story per day of the month of August (that's 31 days, 31 stories)
5. You don't HAVE to post everyday, but there must be 31 stories total, and they can't be posted before August 1st or after August 31 (exception - if it's a multi-chapter fic and you just can't wrap it up by the end of August, then who am I to stop you from finishing it?)
6. All kinks are fine but PLEASE post a warning in the summary and/or in an author's note at the beginning of the fic
7. Please PM or email me so I can reference your fic off my profile page
8. Last but not least, you must make at least a passing reference to the canine nature of the pair (whichever one's in the fic), but you don't have to focus the story on that.

I will also be writing for the challenge, but as I will be out of town for the first full week of August I won't be posting then (hence rule # 5). If you CAN post post 31 fics, I will run a poll for the ones considered the best and give the winner a prize! In addition to Eternal Glory and all that jazz. So let me know what you think!
