KCR: Q&A

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

I wish that everyone saw things like that, Teresa. Unfortunately, they don't. Some people signed up competitively that were better off not playing competitively and it is obvious. If you are here to just read buddy reads, we have a section for that. You don't have to sign up for this challenge to do so.

Would you accept this castle as a house on the cover? . I need a dragon book for SOS Bingo and this one has been checked out in KU since June! Then I looked at the cover and started hoping I could get it to work for multiple challenges. :)

Posting again in case I got lost, probably in the Goodreads notification stuff.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Sorry, I missed that one. Sure, I will take it. A castle is a type of house or dwelling.

Hi Donna!

For tagged Psychological, will you accept a combo tag like phychological-terror (I just finished one with this) or psychological-thriller?

Thanks!

Yes, as long as psychological is in the tag I will accept it.

Those of you playing competitively...

This competitive challenge will end at the end of the month. However, you have some decisions to make. Your team can continue playing non-competitively for as long as you like. This can be as a team of 2 or 3. If you play as a team of two, you will rotate who takes on the extra task.

If one of you wants to play and nobody else does, this is NOT an issue. I have made an individual option. The individual player will play alone and only read one book per task (unless they want to read 3 books per task- that is ok also).

So start thinking about this. At the end of the month, please let me know how your team will move forward.

For the hunting task, does this have to be hunting animals or based on our interpretation?

[Alyana]

can we bank books for the individual NC?

You can hunt witches, vampires, fugitives, clues, victims... whatever your little heart comes up with.

Well, I can tell it is a house... barely. I will accept it.

I definitely need another pair of eyes because I can't tell if the items on this cover is cookies or ornaments. Please help!!

Whatever they are, they look delicious.

[Sammy]

Cakes maybe?

[Kari]

I think cookies

[Sammy]

If they're cookies, they're very large ones, judging by the detail and the fact that they're on a plate each.

Either way, I do think that whatever they are, they are edible.

[Shan ~A~]

Thanks everyone. I asked my daughter too because I just couldn't tell.

[Trisha]

Hello!

For spell-outs - our current clown needs us to spell out a clown's name.

do we each read for each letter (3 completion)? Or we only need 1 completion for each letter?

Wow! I would never do that to you. I only need 1 completion per letter from the entire team - not per person. The spell out is a team effort. Only the limbs are chains.

[Trisha]

lol Okay, thank you!!

Do we still put the spell out and other words (for cage) on our spreadsheet?

or only the chains?

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Yep, they are in the dropdown

[Trisha]

Yay! Thank you so much!!

[Vicki]

For the task read a book with the letters of CAGE in the title before we do our spell out word, does only one person read for CAGE or all 3 of us?

[Vicki]

Thank you, Donna :)

[Alyana]

Donna, for the letters of TICKLES in the title/series, can this be found on both or one or the other?

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Yes it can be both

[Alyana]

Thank you!

Subtitles are allowed... let me know if you can't find anything after a day or so. If you can't find anything after some effort, come back to me and I will make a further ruling on this.

hi for "10 in page count" could I use Oz?

❀Audiobooks are accepted using the default Goodreads edition page number unless it is a large print. Then use the next version in the list. If there is no print book, you may use the book if your page count is 100pgs+ when using the following formula to figure page count:
minutes x 150 = words
words ÷ 250 = pages
(example: 4hr 15m = 255 minutes x 150 = 38,250 words ÷ 250 = 153pgs)
Audio adaptations will also be accepted BUT not using the default page count of the original book. Please use the above formula to get a page count. The resulting page count must be a minimum of 100 pages.

To clarify the task... 10 in the page count means 310 pages or 105 pages, etc.

[Trio]

okay thank you - glad I asked

[Laura]

Would you accept a helmet as a hat for ART?

Or a hoodie?
