Grimm Readers ~ How to Play, Help, & Discussion

[Ora]

has a lot of Arabian mythological creatures in the books along with talking about Arabian mythology. Can I use it for mythology?

[Jenne]

Yep :)
Awesome awesome book!

[Cait S]

I might be remembering this totally wrong but did I read at some point that if something was tagged Fairy Tales or was an obvious retelling, we could claim those extra points for it, without the "retelling" genre being listed?

I'm reading , which has Fairy Tales as a genre and is also a Cinderella retelling, which I think you can tell from the summary.

[Jenne]

You remembered right :)

[Cait S]

Awesome! Thanks!

[Jenne]

****New Task & New Mini are up now


**Task 5**

**Mini #9**

[Steph]

Blonde hair?

[Jenne]

Steph I think that's red, try looking inside and seeing if one of the MCs are blonde.

[Katherine]

Steph wrote: "

Blonde hair?"

In the book she is blonde with red highlights and later in book 2 or 3 she change hair to black.

[Jenne]

Awesome!

[Steph]

Okay so it works? Lol

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

A new 3-month Challenge by our very own Katherine: Branded By Pages

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Jenne
Will this work for Red Hair: "his brown hair was red-tinged"

[Jenne]

I'm gonna say no :(

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Jenne wrote: "I'm gonna say no :("

Okey dokey. Gracias

[Ora]

If a person changes their hair in the middle of the book, would that count for the task?

[Jenne]

Just a quick update/reminder:

This current task is our final task. It ends on the 25th all books must be finished no later than the 25th and the 26th is the last day to report finished books. After the Curses mini is over we'll have one final mini that ends on the 25th.

Captains please have all of your updates done on the 26th if you can. I'll be going over all of the final points and will announce the winner on the 28th.

If you don't have the last set of task books done (unlikely to manage the reads like that) we'll just credit each one at 10 points since that's what they're worth anyways.

That's fine

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Mini challenge question re curses:
***in this historical book a Druid magic transported the heroine 700 years back to France, would that count as a curse/witchcraft?

[Jenne]

Yeah that'll work.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Jenne wrote: "Yeah that'll work."

thanks.

[Jenne]

Final Mini Challenge is up.

Mini Challenge #10

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Jenne,
Do retellings count for Task credit or was that limited solely to task 4?

[Jenne]

Solely task 4.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Jenne wrote: "Solely task 4."

Cool beans. Grassy-ass

[Susan A]

Jenne --

What was added to te FTR list? Grimm and...was there anything else?

[Jenne]

Grimm is the only one added to the TNB. And it has to be Grimm not grim.

[Jenne]

This is the final week. Books have to be finished by the 25th and reported no later than the 26th.

Captains please have all of your updates done on the 26th if you can. I'll be going over all of the final points and will announce the winner on the 28th.

If you don't have the last set of task books done (unlikely to manage the reads like that) we'll just credit each one at 10 points since that's what they're worth anyways.

If you have any players that haven't checked in the last few days it might be a good idea to send them a pm at this point.

Also please check the game spreadsheet and see if you see any errors on your team's page please.

Thanks and good luck everyone!

Jenne - will you take a description like this for brown hair? "Ryan’s dark, thick locks"

[Jenne]

Hmm that's not enough it could be black. Are there any other references to his hair?

[Jenne]

I know I've seen around this game but it is on a fairy tale listopia. This one I'm looking at is massive and very incorrect but hey live by the sword die by the sword. Everyone might want to check their book's pages and see if they're on this list. It's The Best Fairytales and Retellings.

Jenne wrote: "Hmm that's not enough it could be black. Are there any other references to his hair?"

Nope. Just that he has dark hair. It's okay. It was a stretch anyways. Great book though!!

[Cait S]

Jenne, can you see easily enough that they have brown hair on the cover here?

[Jenne]

I think it'll be ok it doesn't look black to me.

Great, thank you!

[Shannon]

Jenne, are you going to have a countdown clock for the finish of the challenge? Like, have your crap posted by this time or it doesn't count...losers! lol

[Jenne]

Lmao! I'll get one up and going tomorrow :)

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Jenne,
I read a book with a "red" wolf. Will that suffice for Task: Red Hair?

[Jenne]

Was he a redhead when in human form?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Jenne wrote: "Was he a redhead when in human form?"

there is no discussion about hair color when the wolves shifted.

[Jenne]

I'll let it make it since 99.9% of shifter books their fur is the color of their hair.

Thanks.

***Countdown Clock to Finish***


Books Finished by Countdown Clock

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Jenne, I have a question. I'm reading Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson. If I find main characters in the short stories with black hair, will that count for my team's task?

[Jenne]

Yep and if the shorts have titles and one happens to have a TNB you can use it too =]

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Awesome. Thanks.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Jenne,
Can I get credit as Lara Adrian on this book? . It's listed as Lara Adrian on Amazon though it's her other pen name Tina...

[Jenne]

Yeah GR has it listed both ways so roll with it.
