[Rosina]

not sure if this has been asked if the author is E L James

does it work for EL? Or are we looking at only first and last names?

[Jenne]

First and last, ignore the middle of there's one :)

[Rosina]

thanks jenne loving this game

[Jenne]

Thanks :)
I found zombie fairy tales today...never knew they existed :P

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Hey hey hey. Yo Jenne, did I tell you that you are the most awesome mod...and how great you are?

Soooo, homie, pal, what you say about --- can I get team name bonus for Fairy tale?
Also, moon on the cover?

[Rosina]

Looks like the moon peeking out behind one of the buildings.
Sorry hon I've gotta say no to fairy tale since its not technically a team name.

[Jenne]

Ro I found these today which is on kindle unlimited and found this freebie which I LOVE that cover.

[Shannon]

[Jenne]

It's like once upon a time meets the walking dead :D

I figured but I had to try. Thanks.

For the shelf for the game, do we only put the books that count towards the tasks on it, or any book we're claiming points for (even if only for pages)?

[Jenne]

Any books you've read.

[Sherri]

Question on Anthologies:

Can a story within the anthology count for a team name or an author initial, etc? I understand the entire anthology must be read to count but I don't see an answer for how the books stories can be applied.

For example: with there is a story called "The Beast of Blackmoor" by Milla Vane. Can Beast be used as a Team Name?

Also for could PN Elrod (the editor) be used for an author name.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Jenne, would you consider adding Grimm to the list for Team Name bonuses? I know it's not a team name, but it is the name of the challenge.

[Jenne]

On anthologies I did say you could use any author for AI so yes titles in anthologies would work for TNB.

Lanelle I was just thinking about that last night when Ezi asked about fairy tale. I think adding Grimm would be ok since it's the name of the game which goes hand in hand with team names.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Thanks, Jenne!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I support adding Grimm

[Nancy]

Another clarification, Jenne (sorry!)

I know you've said a book needs to be shelved 5 times as Fairy Tale Retelling to count, but Lord Beast has FTR as a main page genre, although it has only been listed twice. Looking at the blurb and a lot of the other shelves (and Lanelle, you've just read it so you'd be better qualified to confirm) it seems to be a variation on Beauty and the Beast. Could we count it as a FTR?

[Jenne]

You're good Nancy, it's on the beauty and the beast listopia too. If you come across one you know is a fairy tale you're ok to use it.

[Jenne]

There has some been some discussion on some of the team's threads in regards to synonyms for team name bonus. The mods have decided to not use them (scarlet for red, etc) since they're not technically the team name. We have okayed using Grimm as a TNB so if you've already read one that had Grimm please edit your post and let your captain know too so the spreadsheets are right.
Thanks!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

At first I thought that Lord Beast was not a FTR. But after talking it over with my 19-year-old daughter and discussing plot points, we decided that it is a FTR because of the Lord's arrogance and demeanor. He was disfigured by a girl (taking the place of the witch) seeking revenge. He was "cursed" because of his actions. Followed by several years of solitude and self-pity. Then enters the heroine. She loves him. And they lived happily ever after.

Yep, it's a FTR. Thanks, NancyHelen, for making me take a second look at the story.

Hey Jenne, is the yellow in the Queen's eye enough for task points?

Also, there's an alternate cover edition for Stephen King's new book Finders Keepers. Would you consider it to have yellow on the side? If so, can i use the alternate cover thats not physically in front of me? I know you mentioned this before but i wasnt sure if it applied physical books or just ebooks.

[Jenne]

Ebony the SK book is good. The other one it's real hard to tell on my phone. I'll look on the laptop tonight and get back to you :)

[Emma (M)]

I just wanted to check that the title for this book is blue enough as it has a slight green tinge to it. .

[Jenne]

The team name bonuses will stay the same except we added Grimm to it. I apologize for contradicting myself with wee, small etc. I shouldn't of put those on the ok list but sense they are already they're going to stay there.

You're good Emma :)

Ebony it'll work as well :)

[Ebb]

Thanks Jenne :)

[~Melissa~]

Would you consider the clouds and/or the bottom part of the book pink - looks like a mix of pink and purple to me

[Jenne]

I see pink in there :)

[Berit☀️✨]

Quick question, I realize this is probably been asked 1 million times, but can I use team name points if the team name is in the series name?

[Berit☀️✨]

Another question for the MC also can I use series names? Sorry for asking, I know you have already answered this ;-)

[Jenne]

Yes and yes :)

[~Melissa~]

Jenne wrote: "I see pink in there :)"

Yeah - thanks!

[Nichole]

Since you added Grimm, would you consider adding Grim also?

[~Leslie~]

Jenne, is this enough blue to qualify? There is a blue stripe on the sock. You have to make the cover big to see all the stripes individually.

[Emma (M)]

I just wanted to check the cover of this book. All around the outside of the cover are symbols and some of those symbols are of moons. Would this count for the mini-challenge?

[Cait S]

Does the tint on this cover color it enough to be considered yellow?

[Nichole]

Will this work for red? (Her sword hilt is red)

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I think so

Hmm. Hard one. Jenne? I love this series

I'm gonna say no :(

Yep and it's an awesome book!

Beautifully will be ok.

Thank you! I love this series so far so I'm super excited I can fit this one in.

Hee hee. If it makes you feel better, I can see the blue :)
