Guidance for DQ setters
Aim for a reasonable number of questions: 4 - 5 is typical. Please don't post too many - any more than 7 gets unwieldy!
Use consecutive numbering of the DQs for your days. So, for example, if Day One is posted as questions 1-4, Day Two should start at number 5 etc.
Don't worry too much about your questions: you aren't being tested on how clever your questions are!
Hints and tips:
- Is there a quote that jumped out at you? Use that in a question.
- What about the characters - do they generate strong feelings? No feelings? - either way, we can explore that!
- What about that plot twist?!
- Explore the writing style: is there an unusual structure being used? what's the tone of voice like? or the point of view?

You don't need to be particiating in the team challenge to participate in the BOM.
If you are in the team challenge, please note your team name when volunteering.
Where we have more volunteers than DQ days;
>If we have more than one volunteer from the same team, only one team entry will go into the randomiser to be selected to write DQs. (the other volunteers will be 'back ups')
>The nominator of the BOM is automatically assigned a DQ day
DQ volunteers are randomised around 3 days before the start date of the BOM. Please confirm your participation if you are selected. We reserve the right to go to the next person in the list if we don't hear from you

Reporting for duty from Pico de Orizaba
Can I have the last day this time as Aug 9 is my brother's birthday? Thank you
Volunteering as backup for Sinai - allowing another team member to have questions if they volunteer! Sharing the love and all.... 😃
I think Princess Donut should write questions for us. I'm sure they would be insightful. Barring that happening- volunteering as backup for Sinai as well.
Volunteering for Team Chimborazo
You can move me to the "main" volunteer for Sinai.If anyone else from Sinai volunteers other than me and Jenny, we can duke it out amongst ourselves!
Also, could I use an extra entry, please?
While I'm asking... could we have day 1 if chosen, please?

W..."
done. You have 9 left
I'll volunteer for backup Sinai too :) (Unless Angie really doesn't want to be main and would rather kick it to me, in which case I'm fine with that too)
Team Elbrus - Volunteering as backup for Namita
The apocalypse will be televised! Welcome to the first book in the wildly popular and addictive Dungeon Crawler Carl series—now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition.
You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what.
Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.
Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.

Nominator: Lexi (again again 😉😂)
