Question: For Firestorm 3/ Ronnie etc., would you say shapeshifters count as 'two beings physically merge'?

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Johanne wrote: "Question: For Firestorm 3/ Ronnie etc., would you say shapeshifters count as 'two beings physically merge'?"

If the 'shifters link up somehow, sure.

[Johanne]

I don't quite understand what you mean Wayland?

[Hayley]

I read that one as 2 separate things merge into 1. But I think shapeshifting would work for firestorm #2 something is changed into something else.

[Johanne]

Yes, I think so too about #2, but I have a hard time thinking of something for #3. I can think of something where the mind/soul overtakes a body but that's not merging physically. I can think of Monstress where one being live inside another being and I think that would work, but it's a graphic novel. Then I thought of if shapeshifters would work.

[Johanne]

...but I could just use one of the other options in #3. l just have a shape shifter book I want to read in mind ;)

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Hayley wrote: "I read that one as 2 separate things merge into 1. But I think shapeshifting would work for firestorm #2 something is changed into something else."

Yep, that's what I meant. That's a big part of the Firestorm character.

[Johanne]

Thanks :)

[Johanne]

So, the newbie has another question:
Can we receive up to two energy cells per month? i.e. read one monthly read for sci-fi, one for fantasy, or a swap with the mod choice for one of them. Or is it one energy cell per month and we just pick one of the monthly reads?
Trying to plan how much I can squeeze in next month...

Unless it's changed from last year's rules (which I'm pretty sure it hasn't) you can get 2 energy cells per month (the scifi BOTM and the fantasy BOTM or substituting a mod special for one of them), you just can't get three by reading both books of the month *and* the mod special.

Great, that´s how I understood the rules, but I wasn´t sure. Thanks. Now I´ll just have to see if I can squeeze in those BOTM reads.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Vinca is indeed correct. The BOTM can be an Energy Cell or used in a challenge slot, just not both.

You can use the 2 BOTM, or substitute the Mod Special for one, just not all 3 in the same month.

[Fannie]

I am having trouble tonfind a book for devoted mother (Black canary - JSA). Any suggestions ?

(Am I authorized to ask here?)

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

It's perfectly fine that you ask that, Fannie. I tend to be a bit reluctant to suggest books since I'm running this one, but if no one answers in a day or so, I'll make some suggestions.

[Vinca]

Sorry Fannie, I haven't found one for that particular challenge yet either. I figure that since it's still early in the year something's bound to turn up 😂

[Hayley]

For the child carries on their parent's legacy Skyward would probably fit if you've not read it as the MC becomes a fighter pilot like her dad was.

Duel of Fire would fit too as: (view spoiler)[ a prince becomes king after his father the king dies (hide spoiler)]

Thanks guys.

Hayley, I have Skyward on my TRL and I am excited to read it. It should be one of my next reads then.

[Sandy]

In my opinion, the mc in Catering to Nobody is a devoted mother who is worried about her son.

[Shawnie]

In Clean Sweep, the main carries on her parents' legacy as an "innkeeper." I really enjoyed it.
