Questions or problems with completed task posts will be posted here.

If you have questions about your points on the Readerboard:

1. Make sure that the Readerboard has been updated through the post that you are concerned about.
2. Please check your math.
3. Check to see if one of your posts is listed in this thread with a question. If so, please make a NEW POST in the Completed tasks thread to clear up the question. DO NOT go back and edit the original post. I will not go backwards in the completed task thread to pick up points.
4. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and the POSTING REQUIREMENTS.

Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.

from posting requirements- The BB or GRA claim must be made with the specific book posting - a list at the end or beginning of the post is not sufficient. We look for the "magic words" - "GR Author ticket" or something similar along with the book post - the word "yes" in a summary will often be missed.

Please repost indicating that you would like to claim a GRA ticket. Reposts must be complete so include book links and any necessary information- GR author ticket claims must be associated with each task.

When you repost for an author ticket, please indicate that at the top of your post, so that Dlmrose will know that she does not need to review the post for points.

Task 5.5 requires the genre "Humor," "Comedy," or "Funny". Prejudice Meets Pride does not have any of those genres currently listed. If you got the genre verified in either the Genre Verification Thread or in the task help thread, please repost with that information.

Sorry, I thought that since there were 3 separate stories in this book, and each was by a different author, and each author was a GRA, that it would count as 3. I'll be sure and change it on my end.

Teri-K I believe I should have 3 GRA tickets, not 2 as listed on the current readerboard. One for each of these tasks: 5.3, 15.5 and 30.6.

Thanks for looking into this.

I must have been working on my spreadsheet before I had enough coffee! All 3 are there, it's just that one is under a mis-typed variation of your name!

Thanks for the quick heads up - it's fixed on the spreadsheet now, so the two entries will be reunited in the next updated.

Cait S | 738 comments Hi!

I think I'm missing an author ticket. I have 2 claimed. The first in Post 55 for Lauren Oliver: here

The second in post 145 for Neil Gaiman: here

On the recorded list I noticed that there is a "Cait" and a "Cait S" so I'm wondering if maybe my author tickets just got split in half between 2 names? Both of my posts have been labeled "Cait S" but maybe I'm just missing the other Cait haha

Thanks for checking! Sorry to be a bother!

This is no bother at all! We need y'all to point these thing out so that we can fix them.

And, you're absolutely right - I left the "S" off on one of your tickets. Thanks so much for including your post numbers - that made it super simple to find the problem on my spreadsheet and fix it.

Your two selves will be reunited in the next update!

I can answer this.

The GRA tickets are only updated through post 200, so post #238 is not counted till now.

It should be correct after the next update.

When you claim a GR author, you get tickets for an eventual drawing to create a task. You do not get any extra points.

No need to repost, this is just an FYI.
