Theme Wars: Star Trek signups

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Klingons Vs Federation

Team Challenge
August 2023

Are you ready for a war? Yes, I said war. For this challenge, I will divide you up into two teams. Each team will read books to fit a weekly Star Trek theme and earn points for their team. The team with the most points at the end of the month wins this Star Trek war. Sign up here with your estimated # books per week and let's see who wins this war!

Challenge rules:
*No graphic novels, poetry or cookbooks allowed.
*Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the theme dates in your time zone, it counts.
*You must be able to justify how your book fits the theme. Example: If the theme is cats, then your book can have a cat on the cover, a cat in the book, can be all about cats, etc. If you can justify it, then it will work. Let's keep this easy and you may be creative with your links to the themes.
Standard Rules Apply

Themes
Aug 1-7 Sci-fi
Aug 8-14 Discovery
Aug 15-21 War
Aug 22-31 Diplomacy


*Theme Start & End times are based on your time zone. So each theme will end at midnight in the time zone that you live in.*

I use authors name and title for them too. That way I can read any genre

I'm in with 1-2 books a week

[Teddie]

I'll play! @2 per week.

[Verity]

1-2 books a week please

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

I'm in. I usually do more, but I can do for sure 4 books a week depending on length.

[Truitt_T]

I'm in, although it's hard to say how many books I can make fit the theme any given week. Er...3 or 4?

ETA: Ok, so probably more the first week - I'll save up my SF, lol.

So maybe more like 5 or 6, if I can be as creative as Bobbi....

[Bobbi]

1-2 a week please

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

They need some help over here. Does anyone want to take a guess?

[Shaw]

I'm in as I love these more challenging themes! I will go with two books a week.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

So you are saying that I haven't been making them hard enough for you?

[Bobbi]

Ack! Shaw, take it back! Orcs week about killed me 😂

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Aww come on, was it really that bad? Orcs are so much fun!

[Bobbi]

Orcs are great fun, but when the books I read that week were a fluffy romance and a nonfiction about a library, I think I almost pulled a muscle finding a connection lol

I was just reading some of your connections for Orcs, Bobbi, and I thought they were pretty good! And everyone needs a good stretch now and again....

[Shaw]

I was kind of saying that but Bobbi has a good point about Orcs week. I don't know if I would go as far as fun for Orcs but creative certainly.

[Jammin Jenny]

I'm in

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Teams are posted in message 2. I will take late signups.

[Truitt_T]

Donna -

On the Team Federation check-in page, I think we've got the themes from the July. Not that we can't figure it out....

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

I'm not asleep at the wheel, I promise! LOL! I fixed it.

[Truitt_T]

And now I have a question - when I post a book completion and link to my Animal Crossing post, do I get one bonus point, or two?

Thanks!

Thanks!"

If the book is used in both challenges, you get 2 points.

Thanks for the quick answer, Donna. You're busy tonight with all your challenges!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

I am. Wait until I launch the next 2. 11 more days...

[Jazzy]

Can I be in the Federation please?

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Sorry, but this challenge is archived because it it 8 months old. I am not currently running this challenge. The Archives are just that...old challenges.
