Frankenstein's Questions & Answers

[Samantha]

I wanted to double check on this cover :/ For me the cover is dominated by the legs, but it does show her hands and arms a little bit. It seems like more of the body than what your examples showed, but I thought it would work since it's the focus of the cover. Thoughts?

[Rissa]

I saw that the hands don't have to be bare but does the torso?

So these won't work:

?

Your cover is fine, Samantha.

The torso doesn't need to be bare either. Those examples look good to me.

The torso ..."

Oh, awesome! Thanks so much Lanelle! :)

Question about Science Fiction & Vampires Genres...how do we determine that? Are we going by the top genres in the book page?
For instance, if you see the top genres for the book in this link https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Science Fiction is the first genre.

Or for vampires...is it fine as long as there's any vampire or does it have to be a main character?

Yes, let's go with science fiction as one of the top genres on the book's page.

The vampire does not have to be the main character in the book, but it needs to be more than a mention. That's usually not a problem because they tend to take over, don't they? *grin*

Thanks for pointing out the double Beth. You have Beth on your team, and I've put a new sign-up on Team 5.

Can I use this for hands even though a head is on it as well?

[Jammin Jenny]

Lanelle wrote: "Denise wrote: "How many members will be on each team?"

I honestly haven't decided yet. It will depend on how many people sign up, and how many books they say they read each week.

How many people..."

You mention "21 books in 28 days" but I only see 11 tasks. Am I missing something?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Danielle Gypsy Soul wrote: "Can I use this for hands even though a head is on it as well?

I'd rather it be just the head, but if you or one of your team members can't find a cover with just a head, let me know.

Yes! The 10 books to provide the 'energy'. :)

Can we start the books prior to Oct 2nd, as long as we don't finish them until then, or do we need to wait until then to start the books?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Wait until October 2nd to start your books.

Do we have to make the thread ourselves or you guys make it? I'm the captain, I just foud out and I don't know what to do, a little help please!!!!

Yes, make your own thread! I think Janelle somewhere that was the way to do it - not sure if it was here or somewhere else. That's actually helpful as you can save a few spaces to make updates.

ETA: Here's the post with Lanelle's instructions. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

It looks great Abir. Feel free to check out the other teams' thread for ideas. You'll need a team name.

And you should start talking about assigning the tasks. A few of teams have asked that each member pick two tasks that they want to read for. That's a great idea.

Would this be ok for arms or hands on the cover?

Or is it ok for torso? Both neither?
So then what about his one for Hands? or Hand and Arm?


Sorry, this Torso, Arm, Hand thing is messing me up.

[Nikki ~ The Nocturnal Bookworm]

Could this one count for torso?

You might want to message everyone who is playing .... I see a couple of posts where people are commenting along the lines of "I'm reading a book now with a head on the cover so I'll take HEAD" (or something along those lines) ....

[Jammin Jenny]

Team 5 would like to be known as Halloween Horrors. Can you change it?

[bookcover:Better Off ..."

Too much head, torso and hips to be a arms/hands cover. I guess it would be alright for torso. Barely.

As for the second cover, I wish there wasn't a head there.

Please refer to the sample covers I provided.

That's a good torso cover.

lol!
I bet she totally forgot that.

Totally understandable. Jenny might be a bit overwhelmed. She only has a few days to get everything organized.

From what I can see, all of the captains are doing great. I love seeing how the teams are coming together.

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

It is interesting, and not having the books start until Mondays gives them the weekend to get even more organized.
:-)

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

I will try and make this the last one I ask about.
BUT......
Hand or torso?
I could not decide, on one or the other or neither.
:-\

I think it would work for either one.

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Hum.... ok, Thanks

[Amanda]

I have a question on body parts. Do they necessarily have to be human?

Or could I, say, read a book with a mermaid tail on the cover for legs/feet, or a monster paw/claw? for hands...and an animal head for the head?

Since Frankenstein's monster was humanoid, I'll say that the body parts should be human. If for some reason, your team is having trouble finding a certain body part, let me know and I might change my mind :)

[Amanda]

Okay, thanks, Lanelle!

Oh, I was just curious. I have a book coming up that has an animal head on it and it made me wonder. But not a problem. :)

[Jane]

would this work for torso? Or is there too much arm on?

There's not too much arm. It will work.

Thanks Lanelle. :-)

[D.G.]

This cover is mostly torso but is there too much head/arm to work?

I wish his chin wasn't there, but it will work.

[Rissa]

Torso question (the ones I previously asked were less than 150 pages, boo!):



Yay or Nay?

Yay :)

[Tallyho]

Is good for torso, or not, since it's a rear view?

ETA: Oh, I see you did approve the half of a nude back up a few posts, so this should be good. LOL Too much bum, perhaps?

Yeah, there's a little too much bum.

[Nikki ~ The Nocturnal Bookworm]

I was going to assume it was but figured it wouldn't hurt to double check. Is this ok for head?
