Congratulations, Roses! We've made it to our second month. I hope you all had fun and received some useful feedback. Together you read over 90 chapters of each other's works.

Before we get to What's Hot, there's some housekeeping we should address.
Our first ranking will be revealed shortly, and I would like to offer a quick poll:

Should ranking be cumulative, adding more points each month? Or should ranks reset for every month?

Thanks for the feedback!

Also, great job recording your chapters, but I'd like to request you to record them as you go rather than wait to tell me everything the last day. It's much easier for me to keep track of the ranks if I get a running log of what's going on.
Thanks again!
