Summer of Giles is taking sign-ups

[il_mio_capitano]

Welcome to the 2019 summer_of_giles ! We hope you're ready to once again celebrate a summer of Giles-y goodness! Remember, for July this site will be devoted to Rupert Giles, our favorite Watcher, librarian, sometime magician, smart, occasionally sarcastic, warm-eyed, sexy and protective man from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If you're hesitant about signing up (say you had a date last year but you didn't make it, or you're feeling shy) - please sign up for a day! We welcome everybody! Especially if you want to get your toes wet for the first time in making something fandom related!

As in previous years, we are also accepting contributions posted on tumbr. Please see below for details.

What kind of Giles-y thing will you do? Icons/art, fic.

**I have one ready and I was wondering if someone would be willing to beta and tell me if it is Giles-y enough?

[il_mio_capitano]

13th and 23rd July are confirmed.

I've never really thought about what constitutes Giles-y enough... There's no strict rules in the comm. I guess a 100,000 word spuffy fic that only has Giles on the last page giving the bride away, might not garner a big readership over here though. ;)

[lilruca]

haha No, not that bad! It's Faith/Giles. Just more from her perspective. ;) Cuz I'm not known for that pairing at all *whistles innocently*

[lilruca]

May I pic a third date, after all?

July 3. :)

[il_mio_capitano]

You can indeed. I can't edit the calendar at the moment as I'm away from home but yes, July 3rd is confirmed.

[il_mio_capitano]

And now on the calendar!

[quaggy]

Name: Quaggy
Preferred posting date: Sunday July 12
Do you want a second day: Yes (because I feel like I should also post something fluffy)
If yes, 2nd Preferred posting date: July 15
Do you want a third day: No, I won't be greedy (Unless you have a whole in the calendar and then I can probably scare up a drabble or something.)
What kind of Giles-y thing will you do? Fic

[il_mio_capitano]

Good to see you back! July 12th and 15th are confirmed. The calendar is looking pretty healthy given there's over a month before we open. The drop to just July helps that of course. I'm hoping we might still fit in a first line last drabble day but I won't take a blank day for that just yet.

Dark fic and then a fluffy? You're killing me.
