The Challenge Factory discussion

Ask your monstrous question here :)

So we should each read the Ten Monsters but in different times?

When will tasks be listed?

Correct. You will each need to read the 10 monsters, but not the same monster at the same time.

Roger - president of NBR United - wrote: "When will tasks be listed?"

You will receive each monster's tasks when you and your partner decide to read for a monster.

This might be a silly question, but if I read a book for another challenge and it happens to work for one of the tasks here, can I count it for both? Or do I have to read a separate book for each challenge? Sometimes you get lucky and a book can fit more than one requirement.

Yes, a book can be applied to more than one challenge.

Yes, a book can be applied to more than one challenge."

Thank you very much for answering :)

How do you know when we are ready for the tasks? Should we post in the Battle thread of is that only for after we read and are fighting Godzilla?

I thought about making a separate thread for that purpose, but that adds to the hassle for you guys and for me. I'll just keep a watch on the threads. If for some reason I miss your readiness, send me a message.

Got it!
Thanks

For tagged task MPG or anywhere tagged? And would classics work for classic. Thinking Giovanni's Room

Tagged anywhere. (I've decided to avoid the requirement of MPG.)

Classics works, too.

Thanks I can read a gay book and not have to go to Dickenswhich would be my next choice.

For scientist would a student getting a doctorate in a science count, I am thinking of Dirty Laundry Entomology

Sure, that'll work.

For three mouths: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01... ?

I can clearly see three mouths. You're good, Roger.

Are we allowed to read graphic novels for this challenge?

Sure.

For published before 1975 my book was first published on January 1st 1971 but the first Kindle edition is 2014, which is the version I read. Still work for published before 1975?

Yes. You do not have to read a physical copy of a book that was published before 1975.

Thanks, getting to a library is difficult when I am practically a shut in.

Read a book with just a human torso on the cover.

Is this just 1 human ..with animals or not and does it have to be naked torso ?

A human torso. With animals is okay. Can be clothed or not.

For this task: Read a book with a young child as a significant character


Would you count Harry in ... the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) as a young child? I think he was 12 in that story. I guess what are you considering a young child?


For this task: Read a book with just a human torso on the cover

I know others have already asked questions but I'm wondering if you're looking for JUST the torso showing or if at least the torso is showing. Such as the first book below - you can see his torso but can also see his head, leg, arms, not to mention parts of her. So would that count or are you looking for an image that only shows the torso of a person, like the second one (which doesn't actually work because of page count).

...what are you considering a young child?"

It seems to me that Harry Potter would be an older child. But having said that, I will let you decide.

As for the two book covers, I like the second one best, but the first will work.

For the task "read a book set on a small island": How small is "small"? Could you give an example of what you'd accept? :)

Denise wrote: "For the task "read a book set on a small island": How small is "small"? Could you give an example of what you'd accept? :)"

When I wrote that prompt, I envisioned a small tropical island that would be just large enough to have a few hundred people living on it.

How about "read a book set on a small island (your definition)"?

Are all these mouths visible enough?

Catsalive wrote: "Are all these mouths visible enough?

Hmmm. That's tricky. I'll let you decide.

Lanelle wrote: "Catsalive wrote: "Are all these mouths visible enough?

They are on the book itself but, as you say, tricky on GR.

What age is considered a young child?

Catsalive wrote: "What age is considered a young child?"

Up in Message 26, someone asked if I thought Harry potter in Book 2 would be considered a young child. I answered that he would probably be an older child.

And then I said, "I will let you decide." You can determine how old a young child would be.

Lanelle, my partner Becca has been MIA since April 15th but isn't accepting messages. Do you have a way to check in with her and make sure all is well?

I checked Becca's profile, and she rated a book just four days ago. I sent her a message. Hopefully Becca will check in soon.

Thanks for a fun challenge, Lanelle.

You're welcome :)

For "three mouths on the cover", does it have to be precisely three or at least three?

Denise wrote: "For "three mouths on the cover", does it have to be precisely three or at least three?"

At least three.

Would you accept rom-com, comedy, or humorous?

Sure.

Would this cover work for the following task or are the mouths 'too small'?



6 point task - Read a book with three mouths on the cover (can be a combination of human and animal mouths, but they must be easily visible)

That'll work fine, D.L.

Thanks so much :)

Thank you, Lanelle, for creating another awesome challenge. I had a lot of fun playing!

Thank you, D.L.!!!
