August Challenge 2022

[podfic_bingo_mod]

The theme challenge for this month is ’cell' (Please include the tag challenge:cell when you post.)

Theme challenges have to do with fic choice. Since this month's challenge is ‘cell’ your story has to be related to that theme one way or another.

The shape challenge is ‘L-shape' (tag challenge:L shape ). This should be at minimum 5 squares, ie:

XOOO
XOOO
XXXO
OOOO

Shape challenges require that you complete a specific shape of squares on your card. If you complete a shape challenge by the deadline, you’ll win a cheat. If your card already has the shape formation before the challenge starts, you can only count that challenge as completed if you fill at least one square on your card within the challenge time period.

You can pick the challenge you prefer or do both if you're feeling ambitious. Once you’ve posted the podfic required to fulfill the monthly challenge, please comment here to let us know you’ve completed the challenge.

If you complete a challenge, you earn a cheat. If none of the challenges appeal to you, you can also earn cheats by commenting on other people's podfics.

What are Cheats?
Cheats are rewards that allow participants to manipulate their cards so that they can be finished more easily.
There are 2 kinds of cheats: shifting squares and swapping out squares.
Shifting squares allows participants to swap locations of two squares on their card.
Swapping out cheats allow you to discard one of your prompts entirely from your card and replace it with a prompt of your choosing from the Prompt List.

I think I can call this challenge completed! In the podfic I just posted one of the most emotional scenes of the whole thing is very dependent on cell phones, and has quite a few other notable scenes with cell(phones).
I'm going to change square 'meta' to 'AU'

Congratulations on completing the Challenge! Use of Cell (phones) absolutely accepted. <3

I completed the theme challenge here. I currently have not decided what I would like to swap a square for.

I completed the theme challenge. (I uploaded the podfic at 10:58 pm August 31, but AO3 is giving it a date of September 1?) I haven't decided which swap I would like yet.
