Not sure if I'm in, but out of interest - 'a major male character' - if there are two major male characters (eg M/M, erotica multiples) can you use the same book for 2 (or more) letters?
Jane (PS) wrote: "Not sure if I'm in, but out of interest - 'a major male character' - if there are two major male characters (eg M/M, erotica multiples) can you use the same book for 2 (or more) letters?"No, you can't. You have to choose which name are you going to use because you get to use the book only once within a challenge.
OK. Just checking :) I'm thinking seriously about this one for a bit of fun (and no pressure if I don't complete it)...
