2024 RandomKIT Planning

Welcome to RandomKIT! The 2024 RandomKIT is now open for planning. We need monthly hosts. Please volunteer, as many of us love this challenge and want to see it continue. The fun part of this group is the element of surprise and unpredictability.

We are RandomKIT because the host gets to select the topic. The host posts the topic by the 15th of the previous month, including a description, topics, suggested reading, and so on. New hosts are always welcome. Let's be "random!"

January—Jackie_K
February—clue
March—JayneCM
April—lowelibrary
May—Tess_W
June—DeltaQueen50
July--LadyoftheLodge
August—majkia
September—LibraryCin
October—whitewavedarling
November--MissWatson
December—NinieB

Thanks for starting the thread! I'm happy to host any month (other than July or August).

>2 Jackie_K: Okay, can you start us out in January?

I can take February.

>3 LadyoftheLodge: sure! But if anyone else desperately wants to do January then I'm happy to swap to another month.

I'll take March please.

>4 clue: >6 JayneCM: I just updated with your requests. Thanks so much!

Just marking the thread. Carry on

April (me) will take April

I will be participating. If all the months fill up, I won't need to come up with a topic, but if we have trouble filling the months, I can come up with something. In the meantime, I will hold off on that.

I'll take May please and thank you!

Starred!

Not sure if I can commit to hosting, yet.

Thanks all! Updated the list above.

Could I do October?

>14 whitewavedarling: Thanks, of course!

I will take July since that is my birthday month. Five more to go!

I can take December!

I'll do August if no one else wants it.

I can do June.

Done! Two remaining!

Put me down for September.
I think it's been a couple of years since I've hosted a RandomKIT or CAT! But I have an idea already. (I had it a while back, then forgot what it was, but had it written down... somewhere. Wasn't sure where that was initially, but I found it today!)

>21 LibraryCin: Thanks! Done! It is cool that you have an idea. It will be interesting to find out what you have planned.

November is the last open month!

Okay, I'll take November. No idea yet, but there's still time ...

>24 MissWatson: Thank you! And we are complete!

Thank you for organizing this, Cherylm and my thanks to all the hosts. It's one of my favourite challenges.

Me too! I love RandomKIT for, well, the randomness! It is great to have a surprise every month.

>27 JayneCM: Yes, I look forward to the 15th every month and a new category! Then start searching immediately.

It is my pleasure to organize this challenge, as I also like the randomness and surprises.

Looks like this wiki still needs to be set up, as well.

January's thread is up!

And I've set up the wiki:

>32 LibraryCin: Thank you! I've just added the link to the January thread.

>33 Jackie_K: Thank you for adding it in to the thread!

>32 LibraryCin: Thank you! I have been grading papers furiously for end of term, and that seems to be occupying all my time. Tell me again why I agreed to teach three classes at once? And why there are always one or two hangers-on who have not turned in their final papers yet?

>35 LadyoftheLodge: No problem!

And oh... I hope you are able to get caught up with a bit of extra time before the holidays (not that the holidays tend to be relaxing, either, I suppose...)

>36 LibraryCin: Thank you, I hope to find a few minutes to just do not much of anything, or at least to just read.

March is up!
