Great prompt word - so many meanings. Of course there's also "in heat", like maybe with werewolves? :P

Ah yes, the old "in heat" trope. *g*

Just a question, do you want to keep the weekly schedule for August and change to biweekly in September?

[goss]

I was thinking about that actually...

At the start, I set the weekly challenge as a way to get myself to draw something on a weekly basis. So for me it's been a good way to get started and keep the momentum going.

But I can definitely slow the pace to twice a month though, as long as people actually take part in the challenges regularly. I don't want the community to languish for too long without activity.

I think that's a good idea. Bi weekly should be doable. This week I am really looking forward to filling the promot but I am cramped for time.
