Jim,
The main idea with V1974 Cyg was to track the orbital wave, and my partial analysis shows that the light curve is dominated by a common superhump, with the orbital modulation being weaker and not too well defined. I stopped coverage waiting for Joe to decide if we should keep faith on this one.
There are many targets out there, though (of course ....). The new eclipsing SU UMa-type star, ASASSN-13cx, is a good choice: it's always interesting to characterize an eclipsing system. Bill seems to be taking care of the US coverage tonight. For coming nights,
during the outburst, it may be a good idea to ensure US coverage, either from Bill or from someone else.
The usual summer IPs are always good choice.
Data are still needed for V1101 Aql to confirm that the long-term modulation has increased from ~16 d in 2013 to ~20 d in 2014.
Joe U., Marlin, and others in the US, and Tomás in Europe are taking excellent, nightly coverage of this target.
Until Joe P. comes up with a new menu, I would suggest this new SW Sex star, J0107+4845 (01:07:42.6 +48:45:19). Easy target,
with a ~2.2 mag eclipse (Porb = 0.1936 d) and out-of-eclipse mag of ~15.1. I've got several long runs, and the system seems to show a short-term modulation clearly visible out of the eclipse. It can be flickering, but I'm suspecting this is something else (rotation of the
WD?). Anyway, some (all-night) runs from the other side will help.

I've been out of action for a few days because of the weather. Is there still interest in V1974 Cyg? I don't see any observations over the last several days.
Hopefully I'm back in the mix for awhile now.
