WE ARE OPEN - SIGN-UPS
Welcome to the 2016 
summer_of_giles! We hope you're ready to once again celebrate two months of Giles-y goodness! Remember, from June through July this site will be devoted to Rupert Giles, our favorite Watcher, librarian, sometime magician, smart, occasionally sarcastic, warm-eyed, sexy and protective man from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If you're hesitant about signing up (say you had a date last year but you didn't make it, or you're feeling shy) - please sign up for a day! We welcome everybody! Especially if you want to get your toes wet for the first time in making something fandom related!
This year we are also accepting contributions posted on tumbr. Please see below for details.

We are allowing two people to sign-up for every day (so don't be afraid if your chosen day already has a name).
