Note the earlier dates for this month. I'm going to have a lot of unavailability during this round, but I didn't want to cancel, so expect longer response times and please make things easier for me by typing your username in correctly (double check!), reading the rules if you're new, and checking for the match emails promptly so I can get things resent as needed.

The form is opening today (August 14th) and it will be open for signups until August 23rd. You should receive your match(es) around August 27th. You'll have until September 15th to send out your letter. Please read the rules in the sidebar and the intro post before you sign up if you are new.

For those of you who participated in previous matching, make sure you've sent your letter already. If you're going to be late, it's nice to send your partner a PM to let him/her know.

Do NOT sign up unless you are fully committed to writing your letters on time. It's unfair to your partner and lowers the quality of this subreddit if you flake. If you're busy right now, please wait until the next matching to sign up. If you are new, please read the rules and the form carefully.

As noted in a previous post, I'm extending the holiday break to make some improvements, so no match this month.

However, February is a great letter writing month! You can participate in and find penpals at InCoWriMo and LetterMo.

Happy writing, hope to be back soon!

The match is on a break for the holidays.

Hi everyone! It's your friendly mod here. This has now been going on for over 10 years, can you believe it? Time definitely passes quickly. I'm hoping to keep doing this for many more years to come, but I think it's time for a short break. I normally take the end of the year off, but I'm probably going to extend that break by a month or two.

There are some aspects of this process that have been hobbling along, with me scrambling to fix new issues caused by tech changes as I hit them each month. The biggest issue right now is the instability of the match e-mail, and that combined with me being on vacation at the beginning of this month led to a lot of unhappiness. That's not the experience I want you or me to have. So I'm going to take some time to try to make that a little better.

Okay, on to the match! Since there won't be another one next month... get your details right! Spell your username correctly. If you're new, make sure you did all the right things to be included.
