I had a lot of fun hosting last year's Choices Fandom picnic. I know last year it was in July but I'm thinking about hosting it in August this year... since July is almost over. I'm thinking maybe the theme could be beach picnic this year so it's a little different? It'd still have prompts as well as daily reblog games/questions. It would potentially be August 1-3.

Summer’s fast fading.

Like all things, Summer must come to an end. As July turns to August, the seasons slowly shift from summer to fall. This month we’re focusing on that transition as our MCs enjoy their last beach days, shop for new sweaters, and (for some) get ready to go back to school!

Without further ado, welcome to this year’s August event!
