The theme challenge for this month is Theater (Please include the tag challenge: theater when you post.) Theme challenges have to do with fic choice. Since this month's challenge is 'theater' your story has to be related to that theme one way or another.
The shape challenge is ‘u shape' (tag challenge: u shape). This should be at minimum 5 squares, ie:
OOOOO
OOOOO
OOOOO
OXOXO
OXXXO
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.

Via Alaska SeaLife Center, which writes:
The rehabilitated otter pups are taking huge strides towards their next chapter in life with kennel training. Our staff have been introducing the otters to kennels and transport units, slowly increasing time so the otters will be as comfortable as possible when they make their big move.
And because we know you’ll ask, we’re not ready to announce where they are heading to quite yet. We’ll share updates as soon as we are able!

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Will You Be Mine?

Photo of sea otter Ruby via Seattle Aquarium, who writes:
Today, we're highlighting the first-ever southern sea otter in our care: Ruby! ❤️
Ruby was found, stranded, as a newborn pup in 2015. Weighing just 1.9 pounds, she was one of the smallest pups her rescuers had ever seen. She was raised at Monterey Bay Aquarium and, despite several attempts to live on her own, was ultimately deemed non-releasable due to her dependency on humans for food. Ruby joined us at the Seattle Aquarium this past November. 🦦
For 30+ years, the Seattle Aquarium has led in the research of sea otters in Washington and contributed to recovery efforts with partners (like Monterey!) around the world. We also have a long history of caring for individual northern sea otters who are unable to live in the wild. Ruby’s move to Seattle represents our continued commitment to sustaining and recovering sea otters, from California to Alaska and beyond. 💙
