Just wanted to say that I need everything by the 20th because that's when I plan on writing the MCU (I don't have time from the 21st to the 31st)
So if you can get it by then, I would really appreciate it

okay cool :D i'll try to post the important dates before the end of the week.
here's some suggestions for the lmway and advice column if you want to try and get a thread out asking for submissions :) if anyone has any other ideas, feel free to share em :D
Advice Column: February is the middle of winter for those of us in the northern hemisphere, which often means cuddling up inside with a good book and a hot beverage—which is all well and good, but this month, we want to know: what are your favorite ways to exercise and stay active when it’s cold outside?
LMWAY: oh no! the groundhog called in sick, so groundhog day is canceled—what would be the weirdest animal to take its place to determine how much winter we have left?

I can do book of the month, book quotes, and/or inspirational quotes if needed :) If anyone else wants to do any of those, though, go ahead! If not, I'll be getting them out a couple of days before the 20th.
And @pangolin, those ideas for LMWAY and the Advice Column are great!!

Book quotes:
"'It's eighteen and over. I already checked,' Anthony says with a laugh. He leans back and crosses his legs on the table. 'And it's called charm, thank you very much.'" ~Dungeons and Drama, Kristy Boyce
"'You used to be Prince Girolamo disguised as a nobody called Guido. And what are you now? Just a nobody called Guido disguised as Prince Girolamo.'" ~Momo, Michael Ende
"The late-evening light filtered in through two high windows, dust motes swirling like ballerinas, and I suddenly had an overpowering desire to spend my life savings on new books and then fall down on a soft surface somewhere and read the kinds of things my literature teacher was always trying to talk us into." ~Love & Olives, Jenna Evans Welch
"He had quite forgotten about his wings and it was a great surprise to him - the first pleasant surprise he had had for a long time. He rose high into the air and saw innumerable mountain-tops spread out beneath him in the moonlight. He could see the bay like a silver slab and the Dawn Treader lying at anchor and camp fires twinkling in the woods beside the beach. From a great height he launched himself down towards them in a single glide." ~The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, C.S. Lewis
"The Park seemed to tremble in the fading light as his hooves flashed over the fountain. A streak of colour shone above the spray, a shimmer of velvet and gold. A single moment of moving brightness and after that - nothing. Princes and Unicorn were gone. Only a far faint echo - 'Remember!' - came back to the silent watchers. And the pages of the book on the lawn stirred in the evening breeze." ~Mary Poppins in the Park, P.L. Travers
